Thanksgiving
What is everybody doing? We are having about 30 people over to our house for 4 days. Should be fun. Mostly family with some friends as well. Tuesday tap the keg, barbeque. Weds Low Country Boil. Thurs two 16 pound Deep Fried Turkey's. Friday leftovers. Sat lunch and then everyone will depart except for a few hanger-ons... Anyone else?

Just a few friends should be nice and relaxing as long as all the kids behave

Ignoring the whole thing as much as possible. Too many years of doing the whole cleaning, cooking, and more cleaning thing, and crying myself silly afterwards have ruined it fo rme.
Not worth it.

This made me LOL

Me? I'll be trying to pretend I give a damn about some festival I've never celebrated back home, because my language school often flirts with American culture. I will also have to get four four-year-old Japanese kids to make stupid cut-out turkeys from cardboard. Which is better than last year when I was supposed to get some nine year olds to make play-dough Easter eggs and bunnies when all they wanted to make were multi-colored turds.

We're going to LJs mother's house, as usual. I've been asked to not make the soup course (like I usually do) becuase everyone is "too full" for dinner.
I'm very pissy about this and might just boycott the whole stupid ridiculous holiday.

My girlfriend and I are cooking Thanksgiving on the 25th. Her parents will be arriving from various parts (Maryland and Sweden) to visit.
Apparently, her father hasn't had a "real" Thanksgiving dinner in decades. So, we're going to give him one. It should be fun, even in a time of way too much school-related stress. |

Having dinner with my family. There are only3 of us (siblings) and the respective S.O.'s so it'll be nice and quiet.

We're going to my mother-in-law's house. I'm threatening to make my world-famous sweet potato pie.

Going to my grandmother's house, two hours away, for an afternoon turkey lunch with my grandparents, my aunt and her family, and my dad, stepmom, and brothers.
I am currently working at the mall while I finish my degree, so the rest of the weekend will be: Black Friday: work (NOOOOoooo....) Saturday: work Sunday: work

 Luckily for me, I work an afternoon shift on Black Friday, so I won't have to deal with the people who are outside before dawn rattling the doors. (I don't think I'll ever understand why people would rather spend the day jostling into strangers in stores, instead of hanging out with loved ones at home.)
