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

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.

My school literally kicks us all out the Wednesday before Thanksgiving until Sunday at noon after it. You don't gotta go home but you can't stay here!
Anyway, I'd be going home either way as I'm only 40 minutes away. It's a small holiday for us - just my mom and dad, brother, granmother, and an uncle (plus myself, of course  ) and usually we don't make turkey since 3 of the 6 don't eat it. Last year we had a roast loin of pork; this year we may do a roast beef.
I'm really bummed out this year - every year since we've had licenses, my best friend and I have done Black Friday together, and done it intensely. We get to the outlet shopping center by 11 (it opens at 12), shop there til about 1:30-2, then go to the diner to get coffee and something to snack on. Then we go to the mall, sleep in the car for a while then shop when the mall opens up! We're usually home by 10:30-11.
This year we're not doing it, for the first time in 4 years :[ I'm happy that she's married and living happily with her husband, but as he's in the Coast Guard they just got moved to their first base and aren't coming home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Now I have no one left to go Black Friday shopping with ... of my other two closest friends, one goes with her dad every year and the other is abroad in France.  It just doesn't feel like Thanksgiving this year ..

I'm sorry your tradition ended stardust.
We don't usually do anything elaborate. Usually throw the football around with my brother and cousin though.
