Re: Poll: Thanksgiving
What are your Thanksgiving plans? We'll be with the ILs this year. We're doing an "engagement toast" with SIL and her FI since we have not all been together since they got engaged in Sept. Then BIL and his wife are going to make their big pregnancy announcement (only parents and siblings know right now). I will drink lots and try to be cheery even though I'll be missing my family.
What are your most thankful for this Thanksgiving? My husband and the fantastic life we have built. We have a strong and happy relationship, a lovely dog and a great home.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Least favorite? I love my grandmother's sticky buns. My mom recently found the recipe (grammy passed away in March 2004 and we thought she took the recipe to her grave but it fell out of one of her cookbooks two years ago when mom was looking for something else). Least favorite - the turkey, actually. It's not that I don't like it, but I often run out of room for it on my plate as I don't actually see it as the "highlight" of the meal. Although, generally, MIL is not a great cook so most of the food will be meh in my opinion.
Does your family have any Thanksgiving traditions? What are they? My mom always hosts and makes a great meal. Dad smokes the turkey on the grill! We watch the parade and the dog show and and my aunt and uncle and cousin come. It is low key and one of my favorite holidays.
What are your plans for the rest of the weekend? I think we might try to see Harry Potter on Fri and not sure what else. Having a party on Sat for some of Ken's friends.
What are your Thanksgiving plans? Headed to my parents tomorrow for TG dinner. Then my plan was to go to bed early and get some sleep before heading to Best Buy around 2am...now FSIL wants to be there at 10pm tomorrow
What are your most thankful for this Thanksgiving? My husband and our life in general.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Dinner rolls smothered in gravy Least favorite? Corn, just because it's usually so plain (and healthy) in comparision to everything else.
Does your family have any Thanksgiving traditions? Other than trying to get together, no What are they? N/A
What are your plans for the rest of the weekend? Shopping Friday morning, doing homework and cleaning the rest of the day. We have TG with the ILs on Saturday then going out for drinks with the sibling ILs. Sunday will be grocery shopping, hopefully relaxing a bit, and probably basement stuff.
What are your Thanksgiving plans?T-day at my parents and its getting more and more complicated by the second.
What are your most thankful for this Thanksgiving? Honestly, this is a hard one for me, 2010 has been a roller coaster year, but all in all, that we are all here and together.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? my moms dressing (I will be watching her and writing down how she does it this year) Least favorite? My gram used to make gravy with eggs and parts of the turkey, I am really not sure if anyone ever ate it but her. I am sure we will all get a laugh over it tomorrow and wish that her gravy was there.
Does your family have any Thanksgiving traditions? What are they? Does the turkey, dressing + cranberry sandwiches count?
What are your plans for the rest of the weekend? Not shopping this year! Work on my Christmas cards and spend Saturday watching football! Oh and since its going to be in the 70's tomorrow... I plan on taking a 20 mile walk to walk off half of what I eat!
What are your Thanksgiving plans? We're going to the ILs, I'm going to try to be happy even though I am seriously annoyed with my MIL about Christmas. I plan eating way too much and drinking too much.
What are your most thankful for this Thanksgiving? I am thankful my wonderful husband and our crazy but strong relationship. I am thankful for little life we are building together and our 3 crazy kitties.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Least favorite? I love rolls and cranberry sauce. I'm not a big fan of gravy, it kind of grosses me out.
Does your family have any Thanksgiving traditions? What are they? We don't really have any tradtions, we just like to get together and eat.
What are your plans for the rest of the weekend? I have to work on Friday, but I'm going to get together with my oldest friend, that I haven't seen in a while. I really want to go to see Harry Potter, get some rest, clean and decorate for Christmas. I haven't had many free weekend since summer started so I'm ready for some napping and quality time with my TiVo.

Does your family have any Thanksgiving traditions? What are they? Every year we go around the table and say what we are thankful for (not very original, I know). I also always sit next to SIL so she can eat the foods off my plate that I don't like. (Although her bf is coming this year, so I don't know if it will work out!)
What are your plans for the rest of the weekend? Friday, MIL, other SIL and I plan to lounge around and get mani/pedis.
Saturday, the ILs always throw me a little birthday party since they won't see me before my bday and then we will watch the South Carolina game that night. Sunday, we will be driving home and just doing some cleaning/house stuff.
