What is everyone doing for Thanksgiving? Going out of town? First Thanksgiving with you cooking? What traditions do your family still follow?
Just curious.
Are you a M.O.M-Mom of Many? Find other M.O.M's
plans or 'dreams'..?
LOL
I'd like to go for a weekend vacation down to the islands or even to a resort nearby. Which we may do!!
I overdosed on traditions when my DH convinced me that we should create a big formal meal & tons of cooking for the holidays --which were right after we got married!
Not how I wanted to celebrate becoming a newlywed.
Especially as we weren't together for years or anything before we got married.
It was all new our being married & I do NOT want to ever have us both get up at 4 am to start the turkey again.
I'm into new ways to celebrate and not at all about that cooking stuff....
It would be different if everyone got together & cooked together from the different families.
It's a big secret what we are doing for Thanksgiving....but our "normal" Thanksgiving traditions with my husband's family is watching football, "Christmas Vacation" or "Raising Arizonia", and playing cards.
Thanksgiving is an all day event at my mothers house. Unfortunetly most of the cooking has fallen to me, so next year when we move to a bigger place I am probably going to insist everyone come to my house.
We usually start out with a little fishing at the family pond in the morning. During the afternoon we play our annual flag football game. We usually eat around 3:00 and of course every hour after that! :) lol
Somewhere in there the guys might sneak off to watch football. Then we all watch some sort of Christmas movie...this year we will probably watch Elf.

We play games, drink, eat and have a great time.
I have yet to cook a Thanksgiving at my home and hope to not have to as long as my parents are around :)
My mom makes the best Turkey dinner.
Hope you all have a great Turkey Day : )
