Your Thanksgiving

[Gidget]

The last two Thanksgivings, my ex had my daughter in Illinois so I pretty much did nothing but rest up for the nightmare of Black Friday. This year I have my daughter and I plan to do some serious cooking! lol I am also looking forward to getting a Christmas Tree the weekend after Thanksgiving and putting it up with Imygyn. She is ten years old and everything is still so fresh and magical for her. She is really stressing over writing Santa to put in her requests too! lol

Oh Douglas that sounds perfect!! What a lucky little girl
Does she write Santa online or snail mail? I remember how much fun those days were with my boys. I know you cherish the time you have with her.

We have the tradition of putting up the tree the day after Thanksgiving also. This year, moondoogie and I are going to just put some lights on the Norfolk Pine (like the parents in The Snowman - anyone else a fan of that animated masterpiece??)

Have a great family time!

We don't put up the tree until a week or so before Christmas, but the wednesday before Thanksgiving is when Papa Scooterbug and I put up the lights.

Mama Scooterbug is at work all day, so we are left unsupervised - which is why she usually comes home to X-mas light installations Macgyver would be proud of - utilizing the flagpole, various trees, ropes and stakes, the fence, etc.

Someday when we win the lotto and live in Seagrove I'm sure our family will want to come to us but for now, we spend our holiday in Texas.

Hubby's mom remarried and moved to Tyler, TX so he goes to her house for Thanksgiving dinner. I go to my Deda's house (mom's mom) for the BEST Thanksgiving lunch because my Deda is the BEST cook-anyone who's been to dinner at her house agrees, it's really not just my opinion. We have chicken and dressing, turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, potato casserole, corn, green beans, field peas, squash casserole, mac n cheese, cranberry sauce and jelly, banana nut cake, pecan pie, chocolate chip pecan pie and chocolate pie-don't ya'll wish you were going to be in Sulphur Springs, TX!!! There are 17 of us and the 3 youngest (6, 4, and new baby cousin) keep us well entertained, usually we decorate my Deda's house for Christmas that afternoon-if the weather is good we do the outside and if the weather is yuck then we do the inside that day.

Then most years I'd be on to my dad's side of the family but this year that group is on the road, half in Austin and half in Childress, TX. This year, hubby and I both return home to Arlington, TX after these huge meals (hoping to stay awake to drive after all that food) to pack and fly to Key West on Friday morning for 8 days to kick off our holiday season!

Happy Thanksgiving to all, have a wonderful and blessed holiday!

We used to live not that far from Tyler when we were in LA. Surprised we couldn't smell past Thanksgivings from the way you described her cooking!

WOW - 8 days in Key West!!! That sounds fabulous!

For the past 4 years we have loaded up everything and spent Thanksgiving in Seagrove, wife, daughter, son in law, son and most of all our grandson. We have almost as much fun during this time as we do in the summer. Have turkey and all the trimmings, fish a little, shop and ride bikes. Any time at the beach is good for us. Couldnt think of a better place to be than SOWAL.

Sounds picture perfect! I know you are excited that it is approaching.

Have a wonderful relaxing Thanksgiving!
