How many people are staying home and making there own family thanksgiving dinner? wil it just be you and your immediate family? or are you haveing the relatives over as well? If you go out for thanksgiving do you go to a banquet? a friends or relatives? each year as far back as i can recall we have always gone to my mothers. then we had it at our house one year with all my famly and then his parents as well. then last year we went to my aunts and this year it will just be us at home and his parents... i wish it were our families together each year but its hard to do that.. what about you? what do you do for thanksgiving? saty in or head out?

It used to always be at my parents' house and everyone would bring something. It was usually around 20 people. Now that I have a family of my own, we have dinner at home. Just us- or own small, family celebration. I love it that way.

My family always used to have huge baquet-style holidays at my god-granma's house. We had like 40 family members and close friends. :D

Well now that my 2 kids are older, we would take turns with the holiday meals. This year I will be at work cooking. I work in a retirement home. Matter of fact i won't even be going home that night. My boss will be out of town, and I will stay overnite. That is my other job there .I'm an over night aid on every other weekend, really I just babysit, and make sure everyone is ok. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

For the last four years I've lived far away from my family so I haven't had a family type Thanksgiving in years. Last year me and my boyfriend actually went to a Korean restaurant for Thanksgiving. We're not planning anything for this year either. I don't have a kitchen so I can't make a turkey or anything I have no idea what I'm going to make.
