So, what's everyone doing for Thanksgiving?

What's everyone doing besides eating Turkey for the holiday? Eating with family, staying on campus/home/friends?....

I'll be staying here this time for Thanksgiving.

I know it's not the same as Christmas but are there any traditions you have, like eating with more than just your immediate family?

Not going home this year, but haven't decided who to spend the day with (I've been invited to 3 different places). I may be greedy and go to all 3 lol

Too funny.

That would be so funny if you ate dinner at each one and then took a plate home from each. I just have this mental image of you eating at the third house with two other wrapped plates in the car from the previous ones. lol

i love british shows and one of my favorites is a show from the '80's called The Vicar of Dibley. in one episode the poor vicar is invited to 4 different parishioners houses for christmas dinner, and so as not to offend anyone, she attends all 4. watch it if you can ks! very funny stuff!

If offered leftovers, don't refuse. Bring a cooler and keep it in your car lol.

We'll be at my dad's and his new(er) family. She can't cook, so I will be eating before I leave. On top of that, it's my bday, which he always forgets, even if he sees on that day (usually by accident). Yippee. Good times.

This Thanksgiving will be spent at my cousin's place. It will be particularly hard this year because I will be thinking about my Dad and the traditions we shared as a family for this holiday. He planned and cooked for the holiday. I love my relatives and all but their cooking could never compare to what my Dad could do.

To make the day even more interesting I'll be bringing the new Mr. Man with me.

Getting together with the whole fam-damily (except oldest son and new wife who cannot take the time off -boo).

It will be 24 for dinner - we fry a bunch of turkeys and everybody brings the sides. All the cousins love it, but it could get interesting this year with 2 Aggies and 2 Longhorns sitting side by side watching the game.

That's what I miss most about living in Central Texas. The Longhorn/Aggie confrontations were always the most interesting lol

Going home (yay!) to a quiet Thanksgiving dinner with my dad, grandma and uncle and perhaps a few of my grandma's friends.

Traveling up north to hang with my relatives. We may actually attempt to go to NYC on that Friday.

My family has a tradition of doing the regular turkey dinner along with lasagna (my mom is Italian). I'm not going home this year so my sister is coming out to visit. We're having Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant in Chicago. Then I think I'll surprise my sister with lasagna the next day. I'm looking forward to it.

Going to my boyfriend's mom's house for the second year in a row. His brother is also bringing some of his grad school friends to town for it. Should be a good time!

Going home. I can't wait for the delicious food- but then I work my mall job on Black Friday. Oh boy.
