Thanksgiving

My sister recently moved back to the area where the rest of my family lives and it's really important to her to have Thanksgiving dinner for our whole family (15 of us plus my husband’s side of the family, if they would come). She is thrilled to be back in town, lives in a beautiful house and this will be the first time in years that our entire family can be together.

My mother-in-law also wants to have Thanksgiving at her house (my side of the family is not included). So dinner will be for her, my father-in-law and the three of us (my husband, myself and our son). They have another daughter and grand-daughter but they won't be there. I spoke to my mother-in-law the other day and asked her if since both families want to have their own meals if she would have hers early in the day and my sister can have hers later in the day so we could see both families. She says she doesn't want to do that she’s always cooked for a late in the day meal. (cont)

Any ideas on how to make him think constantly of me that day? And most important, on how to make us both feel less alone and sad for being apart for the first time on this day.
Kindly note that phoning each other isn't possible, as we're on a very tight budget :-(
Thanks...

Ok so this is my first holiday alone in 5 years, no local family and all my friends are out of town. Any ideas other than sleeping and masturbation cause I can come up with those two on my own :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!



I am celebrating my first American Thanksgiving with my boyfriend (he's a yank), what can I expect? Is it like Canada: turkey, pie, sweet potatos, cranberry sauce, etc?

Either by train, bus, car or flying, I know traveling can be a pain around that time. What's your worst nightmare? I hate being stuck somewhere and no where to go.

We have been friends for many years. Her becoming a vegetarian is new. She wants to offer to bring something that she'll eat. I think she needs to just eat whatever is offered by the hostess.

PREGNANT TURKEY STORY: One year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store. When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven. When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird. With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed: "Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry. It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!!!!!!!! HA HA!

Hello all, I have a issue I would like some advice on please.

First off, I'm getting married in February to a wonderful women. But the problem that is coming up is where are we to spend our holidays with.

She told me that me and her decide on going to her families for thanks giving. But I don't remember that. So, my mother and family ask me to come over and I accepted. Now, she is hurt, but I told her I will go with her this thanksgiving with her family, and next year she could come with me to my family. Well, she really doesn't like that idea because her father travels alot when he works and she only gets to see him 3 or 4 times a year. But on the other hand. I feel that if we are going to spend our lives together, then we should do holidays different. I just really confused. Can someone help

As far as I can remember, in my family we never had just one person do all the cooking. The hostess usually cooks the turkey, and other people bring other meats and dishes. For example, one sister might cook the turkey and some veggies and rice. Another sister cooks a ham or lamb or duck and/or sweet potatoes with fruit and marshmallows. I cook macaroni and cheese and/or pie. or I might purchase a pie. My brother brings the wines.

I get the impression from TV that in other families one woman, the hostess, does all the cooking. If so, I don't think this is fair. What do you think? What's it like in your family?

No space in the freezer, but there is space in refrigerator. If I buy a frozen turkey now (a week in advance), can I just put it in refrigerator for a week? Usually frozen turkeys have a long/in-the-future expiration date. Thanks
