Thanksgiving Plans

What is everyone doing for Thanksgiving?

Im getting on the train tomorrow morning, and going home! I get 4 days at home before I come back to college. So I will have a great time hanging out with people for 4 days, mostly my family. I will go to my grandmas house on Thanksgiving day to feast, then I get all the massive amounts of leftovers to take back to college.

No Thanksgiving over here in Holland. We've got Sinterklaas,

Defiant · **Tue Nov 23, 2004 1:42 pm**

Hmm...I see...is it similar to our thanksgiving in some way?

Five - seveN · **Tue Nov 23, 2004 1:44 pm**

Somewhat, Sinterklaas looks like Santa Claus (that sounds exactly like Sinterklaas..). But his b-day is 5 dec., everyone gives everyone presents and everyone presents and everyona acts like he/she is happy.

Cool, cool. On thanksgiving, we eat massive amounts of food, watch football, and gather up families from all over. Its pretty cool.

On Sinterklaas we eat massive amounts of sweets and all get a stomachache.

I'm going to my uncle and his wife's (not my aunt, mind you) house. Usually the entire extended family goes to a big cabin in estes park and it's awesome... but. no. instead we have to go to evil indain wendy's (that's his wife). but the cool thing is that it's open bar for everyone and my uncle deals a lot of card games. we usually play with real money too. so thanksgiving turns into vegas night with booze and poker. woohoo!

I'm going to my uncle who lives like 2 blocks away (if you can even say that in an old city centre

), and all the family's gonna go there too. We're supposed to go and have fun.

My grandma lives...12 miles from my house in Portland, so its not far to go. We get a few people together, no one special or anything. My cousin always comes, he lives 20 miles away, hes really cool. Hes 72 and hikes and backpacks and takes pictures all over the northwest! He rocks. No long lost aunts or anyone who I only see on thanksgiving though.

Going to my grandmother's. Hate her.

I thought thanksgivving was in... May or June or something...

Well, that kinda sums up what plans I have for thanksgiving

Well my sister is coming home from college and we are going to get to eat a $4.00 turkey! (No joke on the price either, it was $.39 per pound).

Defiant · **Tue Nov 23, 2004 5:22 pm**

Thats crazy. We have a like 20 pound turkey or something. I dunno. All I know is my grandma cooks it a little or the dry side, and I wont eat gravy so thats how it stays, and I like eating it.

Sam Kenobi · **Tue Nov 23, 2004 5:26 pm**

I got a free turkey from work.

But since we're going to our chai-drinking-indian-loving-uncle's-wife's house, we're not sure if we're going to have turkey or not. probably some soy turkey. or tofurkey.

Defiant · **Tue Nov 23, 2004 5:34 pm**

LOL! HIPPIE THANKSGIVING! I would bring a thick drippy steak and cook it in her oven. And slop the blood all over.

sabertooth1217 · **Tue Nov 23, 2004 5:36 pm**

Defiant · **Tue Nov 23, 2004 5:37 pm**

Bah, the chance that she goes all hippie all over your beautiful turkey, I wouldnt waste a good turkey. Have to protect the free turkey.

Sam Kenobi · **Tue Nov 23, 2004 5:53 pm**

yeah. no sense in wasting a good turkey.

my mom wants us to dress up as pilgrims to make fun of my uncle's wife's indian-ness, but we figure she won't get it

Defiant · **Tue Nov 23, 2004 5:56 pm**

A dumb hippie, huh? That sucks.

My family and I will be driving down to Madison, WI for Thanksgiving!! My mom has 10 brothers and sisters (so you can imagine all the aunts, uncles, and cousins!!) that's where everyone lives so that's where we go for holidays normally. Sometimes we'll go up north to my dad's family like last year - it alternates from year to year. Anyways, i'm PSYCHED!! We won't have Thanksgiving dinner though till Sat

!! We usually have it a day or two after so everyone can celebrate it w/ their other families on the day of. MMMM FOOD!! I am SOOO looking forward to Stuffing, and Greenbean casirole! YUMMY!! I wish i had 5 stomachs just for THanksgiving dinner b/c it's so darn good, but i get full way WAY too fast!!

We're all staying right at home. My mom is cooking a big turkey, lots of veggies and mashed potatoes. And we're having a lot of good friends and neighbors over to share it all. Ironically, I don't think any of my actual family is coming over, except those who live in our house

Thanksgiving seems like nifty tradition. We don't have it. Maybe I should pay a visit to you American people. I'm sure you'd welcome me, a European Communist, into your family occasion with opened arms!

Or not. And I don't blame you.
