We always spend Thanksgiving with my family, usually a quiet day since Christmas Eve for us is when we go all out and invite family, extended family & friends to join us. I'm thankful that I have family close by to enjoy the holiday with.
ReplyDeleteFamily is so important. I'm away from my family this year and really feeling it. At least I have my husband and two sons to share it with... and my international school family :)
DeleteI spend it with my Mum,Children and Granddaughter
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely :)
DeleteI will be spending it with my daughter, her father and his family. It will be our first holiday since we lost his father and his grandmother in the last couple months.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is a very precious family time together, full of joy in spite of the sadness.
DeleteI'll be smoking a turkey and enjoying my family and watching football.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Sounds great.
DeleteI'm a graduate student who unfortunately has 3 research papers due around Thanksgiving. I live 8 hours from home so I'm going to my boyfriend's instead because it's closer. This is the first time I haven't been home for Thanksgiving. It's sad. :(
ReplyDeleteI totally understand. I'm away from my family this year too. I hope you still manage to celebrate and have a really special time with your boyfriend's family.
DeleteGoing to see family and work! :D Not very original but its fun!
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's fun ;o)
DeleteI will be here with my husband and children - cooking something simple if my husband has to work, or cooking a prime rib and all the special sides and fancy desserts for the four of us if he gets to be off. We have no family in this area. Thank you for this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Michelle. I hope you get to cook that prime rib and a fancy dessert or two :D
DeleteWe spend Thanksgiving with family. Thanks for the giveaway. Tore923@aol.com
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. I hope you have a wonderful family time.
DeleteI'm thankful for my family, esp. my dad. Without him, I don't know where id be. He always helps me with whatever he can & he never judges me. My email is staciemcxx(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI have an amazing dad too and I will be forever grateful for him. I'm so glad you have the same.
DeleteI am spending this holiday with my entire family. I look forward to this time of year. Thanksgiving is my hands down favorite holiday :-)
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving rocks! A day to celebrate being thankful - it's perfect.
DeleteI'll be having a special, yummy dinner with my family. ;)
ReplyDeleteanne.j2 [at] gmail.com
Nice! Enjoy every mouthful :)
DeleteWe are going to my husband's mother's house for Thanksgiving
ReplyDeletevideoclimber(at)yahoo(dot)com
Have a great time :)
DeleteCooking for family. nanze55(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. I bet it will be a delicious meal.
DeleteEating, then saying 'WHY DID I EAT ALL THAT FOOD??", then feel fat, then pretend I'm going to exercise it off the next day, then sleep off my food coma all day.
ReplyDeleteLOL :D
DeleteI love it!
Enjoy all that food.
I'm so blessed to be having my whole family come to my house for Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeletebooks4me67 at ymail dot com
Wow, awesome! That'll be great. Have the best time :D
Deletemeal with friends and a walk with my dog.
ReplyDeleteA great way to end a meal...walking with your dog. Sounds like a cool day.
DeleteWe are spending Thanksgiving with some close family friends this year!
ReplyDeletekpuleski@gmail.com
Close friends are like family in my book. I hope you have a very special day :)
DeleteOne of my cowrokers (and her daughter) moved to Florida when she found out her mom had cancer. Her mom is the only family she had here. Her mom just passed a few weeks ago. Therefore, I invited her and her daughter over to my house since we do a big Thanksgiving traditional with lots of family and friends. She was SO appreciative.
ReplyDeleteWow - life can be so tough sometimes :( I hope you have a really precious time together. I know your generosity and love will be just what these guys need.
DeleteIt's just me and my husband and he is terribly ill so we'll probably have a small dinner and watch a movie.
ReplyDeletebemiown(at)yahoo(dot)com
I'm so sorry your husband is ill :( I hope you have a very special day together.
DeleteI am spending Thanksgiving at my uncle's house this year. I won't be able to make it home for Thanksgiving, but at least I will be with some family. =)
ReplyDeleteExactly. Family is awesome.
DeleteJust a small family dinner with my immediate family and grandma. I'll be coming up with vegetarian options to make for myself and my mom while everyone else chows down on turkey!
ReplyDeleteteenysez at gmail dot com
I know all about having other food options. I've been gluten free for a few years now. Enjoy your veggies delights. I'm sure they will be delicious.
DeleteWe'll be doing the Thanksgiving dining event at the Disneyland Hotel. It's too expensive to go visit family every single year.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like cool fun! Enjoy it :)
DeleteI will be spending Thanksgiving day with my daughter, brother/SIL, nieces, my mom and stepdad and my stepsister! Can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. Have a fantastic time.
DeleteWe don't have Thanksgiving here, but I still give thanks.
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate it in NZ. I wish we did. Now that I'm at an international school, we're having a big school banquet. I think it's so important to give thanks....all year round if possible :)
DeleteI'll be cooking the whole day, lol.
ReplyDeletereadingintwilight@gmail.com
LOL :D
DeleteI hope it goes well and you enjoy it.
I will be having my children and grandchildren over for a day full of eating and football. If everyone is able to make it there will be 15 of us. I am blessed.
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be fun! I hope you have a wonderful time.
DeleteI am cooking my first Thanksgiving dinner for my family! I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope you have fun and everything goes smoothly for you :D

ReplyDeletefictionaddiction (at) nicoleandscott (dot) com

DeleteHiding in my bedroom - I'm sick, and I just want to be left alone. I'm not sure if I'll be better by then!
ReplyDeleteOh no. I hope you feel better soon!
DeleteFamily dinner. My brother and his wife and his stepchildren are coming over, too.
ReplyDeleteYay! Have a wonderful time :)
DeleteMy extended family is coming to my house this year. I have no idea what to do about lack of chairs and I want to order a turkey dinner from Whole Foods or similar.
ReplyDeleteHave fun squishing in together :)
DeleteMy in-laws only live about 2 miles away from us, so weather willing, we will be walking there (to burn some calories before we eat), having dinner with family, then walking home again.

DeleteI just finished one of your trilogies and I am in love with your work! I can't wait to devour the rest of them. :) I will be gratefully spending thanksgiving with our family. We potluck dinner so its not too stressful for anyone and then work on puzzles and play games into the wee hours laughing and loving and being grateful. I hope you enjoy the dinner you will have with your friends I hope you have things to be grateful for that day and everyday. The world is a glorious place with new wonders every day.

ReplyDeleteThose times are just so special and precious. I'm glad you had such a great time together :)
DeleteI am having dinner with my family and relaxing with grandkids
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect :)
DeleteI'm making gluten free pie and rolls for Thanksgiving. YUM! I'm still trying to get my family to eat gluten free with me, but they like wheat too much :'(
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! I've been gluten free for about 5 years now. It's SO worth it for me and I'm totally adapted, now to make everyone else do it :D Enjoy that pie - sounds great!!
DeleteI'm not doing anything this year, save for maybe eating some pie :) My family lives far away and it's too expensive to travel to them
ReplyDeleteanastasia2013@gmail.com
I hope you have an awesome day anyway. Enjoy the pie :)

That's so lovely. I hope it went well. I'm sure the neighbors felt really blessed.
DeleteI'm cooking dinner for my family, which we haven't done in years because we always go to my parents for Thanksgiving. The reason I'm cooking this year is that my stepson and family are coming in from San Diego and he hasn't had Thanksgiving with his dad in over 20 yrs. He has been stationed all over the world but never near enough to come home for Thanksgiving until this year. We had an amazing time. Thank you for the opportunity. Dcpooh@cox dot net
