We will be going to my parents house for Thanksgiving dinner and my inlaws for Christmas dinner.  My parents are elderly and I usually prepare 90% of the meal.

My parents live in another country, and always come for Thanksgiving.  but this year decided to come for Christmas instead.  So the way my family work and we are about 8 families, is that this year my husband's brother is doing Thanksgiving, but we will all cook something, the hosting family will do the main dish, like the Turkey, stuffing and probably some dessert, but all the other families will bring the rest of the dishes, and we do plan who is bringing what, so there are no repeats.

We do the same for Christmas Evedinner, which is the one we celebrate all together, and then Christmas Day, each familly has their own dinners at their house.

I am going to have Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving day.  I work at Walmart and just today found out I will only have to work a half day and will get off at 11 am.  Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!  That way I can have my dinner about 1 pm.  I always cook ahead a time and have everything ready except making my yeast rolls and develed eggs the day we cook.  I am so glad to be able to have it on that day.  I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas.  May God bless each of you and keep you safe.

More than likely spend it alone.  Which is okay, then I can make pecan pies and tarts, and eat them by myself.
I make a tradition T-day turkey diner and have enough food for a week. Best of all I can eat ALL of the olives.

Actually I'm not looking forward to the holidays this year.
Last several years they have been something to get through and be glad when it is done.
This is even when I was around family and celebrating with them.

Bah hum-bug

Thanksgiving day will be at home. Over the weekend I'm going to my boyfriend's family's house because my family is too far away.

We will have Turkey, honey ham, yams, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce and rolls.
Then for dessert there will be pumpkin and apple pies.

Yum!!!!  My mouth is watering already.  Tooee, your place sounds like MY place.  Our family gathers at our house -- four children, four spouses, seven grandchildren and my 101 year old mother!  Once the kids started getting married, it was harder to find a time when we could all get together because so many other families and Thanksgiving dinners were involved.  We settled on the day after Thanksgiving as our traditional day.  This year for the first time, my youngest daughter won't be able to attend.  She is headed with her band overseas to entertain the troops!

Thanksgiving will be here as the planners plot their strategy for the after thanksgiving sales.  Hopefully my son and his family can make it up from Ft. Hood.

Still debating as I got engaged so now I must divide up the holidays.  I am thinking of doing thanksgiving with my family and christmas with hers?  How do others split up the holidays?
