Thanksgiving weekend approaches!
Do you celebrate Thanksgiving, and what is your favourite part?
...do you have any traditions you stick to?

[Natalka]

Yes, we celebrate Thanksgiving! My favourite part is making a huge meal for my husband and son, and us talking about the things for which we are thankful.

Traditions - always donate a variety of food to the foodbank for their Thanksgiving hampers.

I do!

I go to Young's Point, Ontario to celebrate with my family. Dinner, walks in the forest, they usually have a fire going outside! My aunt has a few acres of land, really rural. It's beautiful! All the trees, sometimes we see deer. I like it

[MrsSunshine]

we used to when everyone was younger.. not anymore.. not sure what we'll do this year.

Pumpkin Pie....is that a tradition

[vesper]

My tradition is to find as many people as possible to visit for diner and I tend to get some left overs from a couple of elderly ladies near me.

[cheekysaver]

We always do something for thanksgiving. This year I am making pie ... fresh homemade dinner rolls too... we will have just a small dinner and then watch the walking dead! Pumpkin pie is the tradition for sure... I need to run out and pick up some pumkpin pie pumpkins soon << if that made any sense! Who else is making the pie from scratch?

we're going up north to my inlaws house. the kids love going up there. they own a big farm so it's really beautiful in the fall. the kids and I are making a few apple crisps to bring up with us (we picked the apples last weekend) and i'll be bringing some homemade cranberry sauce that i'll be making. as for traditions, just being with family...and we always draw names for the adult Christmas present exchange too.

[gracesmommy]

it depends too when thanksgiving falls - our dd2 was born on oct 7 and our anniversary is oct 8..sometimes thanksgiving falls on those dates so it's extra special for us

This year Thanksgiving will be quiet for me. I plan on barbequing rib eye steak, potatoes, veggies. Non traditional dinner for me lol. I normally have or like turkey didn't feel like cooking one this year.

[Patty Smyth]

This year I am doing a luncheon at DS school for 50 on Friday. Making turkey and the whole shebang, Making pumpkin pies and muffins and maybe some apple dessert too. Should be fun. As for our home thanksgiving since we are vegetarians I do everything but the turkey lol

[Darth Penguin]

I'm still trying to get to grips with Thanksgiving...It's an alien concept to me..

[Lynn49]

My favourite part is cooking and baking! Our son-in-law has taken over the turkey-cooking and since it's at their home, our DD makes a couple of sides and provides a beautifully set table, I always do the dressing/gravy/pumpkin pie, our SIL's parents and brother (and new girlfriend) are also coming up...it's a big dinner and such a joy to see our Grandson enjoying everyone's company and food!

[MrsSunshine]

so I found out dh is working Monday.. figures..decided to dig out a ham and found a turkey. decided im going to cook both.. make the works.. and deliver a set of dinners to my parents as a surprise. seeing as they are just not well enough themselves to do dinner this year.
