Mine is Shoo-Fly Pie & Hoosier Pie! :dinner:

Pumpkin Pie and Apple Pie. They are a tradition every Thanksgiving.
Other than then, we don't eat much pie. Not even at
Christmas time.

You're an organized meal planner Jolly, even for Thanksgiving alone. Bravo Hope you & Perky do share that private beautiful Christmas together! :scene:


After my divorce, I spent many holidays solo preferring the peace of my own company to the typical family drama. Also, sometime during my 14 year previous marriage, my family got weird. Lasagna for thanksgiving, no we are not Italian, and tamales for Christmas dinner. In visiting my aunt last Thanksgiving it was determined that the lack of tradition started when my grandparents moved to their pensioner apartment and my grandmother stopped cooking the big dinners. I had not realized that she had been our Christmas rock. Wish I could go back in time and really pay attention and live in the moment. :cry:

For Christmas our favorite is pumpkin pie.


Fall in general is apple pie. Pumpkin for thanksgiving, or in my case peach cobbler since I did not like pumpkin growing up. Christmas is mincemeat, or rather the fake apple/raisin combination known as "mincemeat". I made a real meat pie for an SCA MidWinter dinner once. It was interesting.

Working at home today and listening to LIve 365 Christmas 24/7 on the Merry Christmas Friday. :rudolph1:

Aww Jolly your grandmother was a true Christmas rock! Most of us - looking backwards - wish we had been more aware when younger. Children live in the moment -- that's a joy & a blessing. I think our older family members appreciated our youth & understood that in time we would look back and honor them. I believe mine did - and do - and am grateful for their impact upon our Christmas past! :D

Pumpkin and homemade pecan are our family faves. :dinner:

I stopped by a yard sale this morning and go my bargain for today. A brand new small Yankee candle for 50 cents. :D I also bought a Christmas wreath and some decorations at a great price. They were definitely a want and not a need but I love having decorations to change out. :smilecc:
