How are your guys' thanksgiving dinners? I'm sure some of you have your cutsy little family traditions. Or some weird tradition, but someone else has to have that wacked out thanksgiving.


For instance:

Last year, it ended with my 50-60 year old great aunts and uncles screaming names at each other. Like "YOU ARE SUCH A STUPIDHEAD!" And throwing food. I left with mashed potatoes and gravy in my hair.



Anything interesting happen when your family gets together?

[EXPLO5ION]

Not really. My cousins come over every thanksgiving, but we ... dislike each other, so not that much family love going around.

I love thanksgiving, we basically bring the family together and eat a bunch of good food.
It's one of my favorite holidays.

Hmm, Thanksgiving usually falls on my mom's birthday, my sister's birthday or somewhere near that, so we celebrate their birthdays and have a dinner. Nothing really out of the ordinary happens.
But, this year I really want to go to the Thanksgiving Parade and spend the day with my boyfriend because it will be our one year anniversary.

It alternates with my family. One year we go to my dads side in the EPA then anotehr year to my aunts in Tracy then my place.

Theres a seperate table for the adults and kids, football, music , yelling, and FOOOOOD.

^ AHA! I knew I wasn't the only one with a crazy family...

[*StanleyThePanda*]

hmm....my family is nice, I like my moms side better
but they are all great <3

all my cousins are cool....so yeah no fighting or anything

[*jooleeah*]

My thanksgiving is usually the same every year. People come over. I watch tv. I get fat. People get fat. People leave.

And there's my thanksgiving for ya. :P

My family and I went to South Padre Island last Thanksgiving. It was REALLY nice and we wanted to make a tradition to go there everywhere, but -tear- we're not going this year.
I don't have Thanksgiving dinner with anyone out of my immediate family because we're the only ones who live in the south. Everyone else lives up in New England.

My families complaining about where to have thanksgiving this year, I don't even know if were going to have it. This year I go to the fun side of the family :)

[emazing]

No, not really. This year, we aren't celebrating it with many relatives, because my mom's older brother [who's my uncle] is mad at her for some ludicrous reason [his wife influences him now], and so. Yep.
What a fun Thanksgiving this is going to turn out to be.

[KissMe2408]

lol nothing as interesting as YOUR thanksgiving!
But every year usually we get together with my grandparents, aunts and uncles, throw in a few cusins. We usually have dinner at our house. Our tradition is the women do all the cooking and cleaning, while the men sit on their butts and watch television and argue with each other about the right way how to pronounciate(sp?) certain words.
lol, and oh yes, of course we eat too much and have turkey sandwhiches for the next 3 weeks

[*mipadi*]

My family is planning a small dinner with just me and my parents (my brother is overseas this Thanksgiving, unfortunately).

[annalucky]

Hm..We don't really do anything interesting. We'll probably go to our cousin's house to eat. = ]

[Lightner]

meh... i very much dislike my relatives.. they are always so loud and most have temper problems (the kids) so im stuck with them screaming like crazy trying to eat.. then they throw food in the basement and gues whos stuck picking it up..?

[heyyfrankie]

on thanksgiving, my whole family (all 10 of us) go over to my grands' house and we they watch the football game and then we eat our "dinner" at like...2. then we play games, watch movies and eat brownies and snack on the leftovers until like...11:00pm

[Heathasm]

usually my moms side of the family would come over to our house and we would cook a hugeeeeeee dinner with dressing rolls turkey yams, veggie plates gravies :3 and etc.

but now that they split up and we live in apts im not sure really...i think ill be going to my moms place but its too small to have a bunch of people over so its probably just going to be me her and my brother

[iheartjohn]

The most people I've had Thanksgiving dinner was three or four. This year, it's only John, Geena and me.
