Thanksgiving plans - linzi - 11-17-2008
Just wondering what everyone has planed. Do you cook? Travel? Any good stories, scandals or food fights?

I like to cook, so I try to get new recipe's to try each year. Tried a new dressing last year, Delicious. The in-laws are coming over this year. i'm excited.

I'm volunteering myself and family to hand out free food at the firestation. The department has been doing it for about three years and it's my second. Instead of my family fighting with my wife's family about who gets to see us for the holidays we're spending time with my other family...

That's awesome. Volunteering is great. I love helping others out.
I was hoping to have the holiday without visitors (son's having surgery just before), but no, the mother-in-law invited herself over. Gotta love it.

We offer the free food (donations welcome ofcourse) to anyone. Needy, lonely, or just wanting to get out. If anyone in the Kalamazoo area wants a free meal and hang out with c/hunky firemen let me know and I can give you directions.

Actually, I'm trying to figure out how to "downsize" all my recipes. For the last 20 years, we have had at least 16-20 people here. This year, it's just me, hubby, daughter and BIL. At least the cooking will be easy!!! LOL!

The math shouldn't be too hard to figure out... There was 16, now only 4. If a recipe calls for 4 eggs, now you only put one...

Thanksgiving is hands-down my favorite holiday. We always get together with my father's family, there are about 25 of us between aunts, uncles, and cousins.
I'd like to spend the day with my boyfriend also but his mother won't let him since we aren't married. But I can understand that, it's not like he's 26 and it's not like we live together or anything. Whatev.
Thanksgiving plans - hotzester - 11-17-2008
I usually cook, but this year we don't know what's going on with my wife going into labor (and by "don't know what's going on" I mean "don't know if she's EVER going to have this baby") so everything is kinda up in the air at this point.

I read this and I think that the "good looking" gene must run rampant in your family. I picture a serene dinner where everyone is well dressed and the discussion flows as does the wine.
Then I remember you're from Jersey and the picture in my brain turns to the dinner in "Saturday Night Fever" complete with white wife beaters and thick New Jersey accents proudly proclaiming "Hey Yo, where's da gad damm sweet pataters huh?".

Going down to see the inlaws. I seem to get sick the previous two years we've gone down for the holiday, so I expect this year will be much the same.

No suspenders, male areolas visible through white shirts, and body hair in full public view anywhere the way too tight wife beaters don't cover?

Why do I think the sweet aroma of the turkey and stuffing cooking will be overwhelmed by the scent of AXE body Spray?

My husband and I are going on a cruise with my folks and my sister and her boyfriend. No one has to cook or clean up, and if my sister or mom starts to act like a bitch, my husband can push them overboard.

My holidays were a lot better when my grandmother was alive.

Thanksgiving plans - vassillios - 11-18-2008
The night before thanksgiving:
go out with a bunch of old friends, reminisce, laugh, get intoxicated.
Thanksgiving:
wake up at 11, hungover. throw together green bean casserole, go to grandmother's and have dinner with the family (can't wait!), fall asleep on the couch while watching the Titans stomp the Lions. thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
Thanksgiving plans - vsangelchick - 11-18-2008
I will be having dinner with my mother's side of the family, as per usual....about 145 this year...not quite the 189 of two years ago, but still good times. Anyone who doesn't have a thing to do in the GR area, my family has an open invite policy.
Thanksgiving plans - linzi - 11-19-2008
nice job guys!! I usually go to my mom's side as well where it turns into a bitch fest but this year I'm heading to the in-laws for dinner. I don't cook. Hate it. Reading some of these posts takes me back to the good old days when we went to NJ to celebrate with my dads side. Nothing like a loud Italian Thanksgiving!!

Do you guys rent a hall or something?

My in-laws used to attend the Lions' games every Thanksgiving so they always had their celebration on Sunday. Luckily for us, they still have Thanksgiving on Sunday so we don't have to play the "which family this year" game. We go to my folks on Thanksgiving where the 5 of us will have a Thanksgiving feast and then on Sunday we will go to my wife's folks and have another Thanksgiving feast. Oh and I'll sneak out deer hunting at certain times on both days.

every year we go to our home in Waco, Texas and spend Thanksgiving there with like 20+ family members i'd never otherwise see or know about. it's always a big event and ends with my dad and uncle proving their macho-ness in a family football game in the yard againest eachother. last year, my dad went in for the tackle(tag and touch is for girly men apparently)and ended up bear hugging my cousin into the ground like some crazy backyard wrestling maneuver and busted one of his ribs. good times.

You go to Waco every year, and don't know what he's talking about? Seriously?

Going with my wife and kids to the Lions' game this year. Otherwise we usually have brunch with one side of the family and dinner with the other.
