Thanksgiving! :celebrate

As a holiday, I think it is underrated and overshadowed by Halloween and Christmas. Christmas is my least favorite holiday because...well...for religious reasons.<_< Halloween is just awkward to me. Especially when people just came from church and at night they decide to go trick or treat. Just sayin'. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday because 1: I get to visit my fairly large family in other states 2: We get a vacation from work and school, and 3: FOOD!

What we are gonna eat is REAL cranberry sauce that is not from a can, Mac and bleu cheese made straight from Wisconsin, broccoli, and a 22lb Turkey with tofu stuffing and cherries surrounding it. The Turkey only cost us $5.99!

Hellz to the Yeah! ...sorry, I get carried away.

So anyway, what are y'all gonna have for Thanksgiving?

Me, thought this year I may eat some ice cream the week of my birthday. An odd thing but I haven't tried it before so thought a few week back why not try it. I've not had a traditional thanksgiving in a few decades.

I'm going to have dinner with both sides of my family, as usual. I get to eat a pretty big assortment of food, such as corn, carrots and egg rolls.

When: November 25th

We've sort of explained the what: a day of giving thanks for those around you, what you do have, and not what you wish you had. Then everyone goes bargain shopping on Black Friday right afterward.

An excellent day to not go shopping since huge masses will be out that day.

Canadian Thanksgiving was almost a month ago in October. It makes Christmas and Thanksgiving more meaningful a family gathering since they aren't so close together.

Have fun though.

It used to be that I would only work 4 hours on Thanksgiving. However, thanks to me getting a new Store Manager, that has all changed. This year, I'm working a full 8 hours. At least it's the morning schedule, so I hopefully won't miss out on it too much.

Originally, we were planning on going out of town to my grandparent's house, but due to several different reasons, we chose to avoid that and just have it at my aunt's house. To be honest, I like that idea better.

Ugh! Considering everything, I'm not looking forward to the change in my hours for this day.

Normally Thanksgiving for my family would involve visiting my aunts house and having a big 40 lbs. dinner!

But this year, with everyone in my family having a job, and four of us having to work on Black Friday at 2AM!!!! We might have to scrap dinner altogether... and that makes me sad.

We had a thread a lot like this one last year.

This year my family and I will be having Thanksgiving dinner with some relatives in Florida. My older younger brother can't be there, unfortunately, as he's currently studying abroad on the other side of the world (Neither can Sasquatch; he's staying in Minnesota, though our pets typically have Thanksgiving dinner separately from us anyway

). We'll probably still do our annual tradition of going around the table and saying who and what we're thankful for.

Caution! Stay away from Black Friday shoppers. They are

I wonder what balloons are gonna be at the macys thanksgiving parade this year?

We ended up not doing our “circling the table and saying what we’re thankful for” routine this year when we had Thanksgiving dinner with our relatives this year. Instead we're going to wait until my brother gets home from studying abroad, then stage a second Thanksgiving meal, and do it then.

For the record, Thanksgiving dinner was very tasty.

The turkey came out of the oven looking almost perfectly browned; we commented that it should be in movies or cooking advertisements.
