So, what are your plans for Thanksgiving?

Parents? In-laws? Friends? Are you cooking or just sitting back and enjoying?

Personally, I hate this holiday. Always have people arguing over where we go. Relatives are evil.

A big bash at a friend's house. The table will look like we emptied an aviary. They are serving turkey, duck, pheasant, game hen, ostrich and a goose so far. Other birds are being considered (no chicken).
We are doing the game hens and I think Big Al plans on baking them with pears, some wierd recipe she has in her head.

Actually, you know, I cannot remember the last Thanksgiving I really had at home.

A few years ago I started having American Thanksgiving dinners here and would invite all my friends and make turkey and all the fixings. I abandoned that after I realized that no one really gave a shit, to them it was just a dinner party, whereas I wanted it to feel like home and family.

I really miss Thanksgiving.

Grandma's. Every year, we go to Grandma's and she makes turkeky and a ham. We all bring something for side dishes. Much more food than anyone could really eat. The adults all sit and talk, those of us my age will watch whatever football game is on. Years ago, when we were little, we had a tradition of ditching my cousin and running off to the park. She'd cry and cry. It was great.

I intend to invite myself into the home of a friendly native american indian family, eat their food then rape the wife and daughter, kill the son, give the father the pox, turn the grandfather into an alcoholic then steal the house and boot them onto the street.

Am I festive or what?

This is what the holidays are about!

To my boyfriend's family's house. I've heard they go all out, so maybe a few weeks later I'll awake from turkey stupor.

i hate thanksgiving. the last couple years, dinner at grandma's has sucked ass because i sit and simmer and try not to say anything about my cousin, the neo-nazi. Evidently the rest of the family doesn't want grandma to know about it, so i'm supposed to refrain from calling him a piece of shit during dinner.

it's just an uncomfortable situation because it makes me so angry.

Well, if all goes well, I'll be in Kansas with my brother and his family. My god, it's just weird to think of my brother as having a family. Anyway, bonding time with the new sister-in-law I guess. Yippie. Well, I'm thrilled to get to see my brother again though. He's possibly shipping out (army) in the spring, and I haven't seen him since last christmas.

Have turkey dinner at my house with my parents, my brother and his wife.

My brother will talk most of the time, and i will make cynical comments every two minutes or so.

my brother talks too much

Last Thanksgiving was the first time that my parents and brother and I got together with some other members of our family ... I got to see some of my relatives whom I have never seen before. I loved it, and I miss them a whole bunch because I haven't seen them since, but I don't think anyone is coming this year. It's still nice family time, just a bit lonely when none of my extended family is here.
