Christmas All Year Community

well my family dont decorate for it.we have a big feast.and every year my mom and DD do the cooking and i do the clean up and dishes.for our menu we usually have the same thing.
turkey,stuffing,gravy,mashed potatoes,corn,green beans,sweet potatoes,pumkin pie and stuffed eggs.i think igot everything.

As I'm in the UK we don't do Thanksgiving, but as I've joined a couple of Christmas sites over the past few months I have reading quite a bit about it. I've also been buying the Martha Stewart 'Living' magazine and it has inspired me.

I will do my family a turkey dinner and make some decorations. I have found some wonderful tablescapes, and I would also like to make a Thanksgiving tree with my children, which someone posted about on another site.

I don't have much control over the Thanksgiving meal - I'm really just told what to bring, usually buns. We live the farthest away and they don't want us to bring anything that can spoil or is messy, etc. Plus we come down 2 days before and stay the whole weekend. (Canadian Thanksgiving is on the second Monday in October - the 13th this year)

After we were married, we went to both parents houses for Thanksgiving dinner! Whew! 2 full dinners in one day! One around 12 Noon and the other for dinner around 5pm

Man we were full!

The past 2-3 years we just been going to my wife's parents for dinner - late lunch-ish actually. MUCH better on the stomach!! :-)

a few weeks for turkey & stufffing etc pumkin pie w/cream cheese different
then Christmas and all the trimmings.

Well.. we weren't really celebrating Thanksgiving from where I belong. Since I'm living in cali I alwyas love the holidays because... the food.. there is nothing more joyable to look than a brown, crispy, smooth and tender TURKEY! yum!

This year was done a lot differently....there was no turkey or extended family members but overall I had a great time spending time with my parents and brother. We ate cabbage rolls, rice, hot tea and veggies....and of course: PUMPKIN PIE!
