Well I'm the designated Cook since my father died.....so I always stay at home and cook the traditional Feast....I tell my friends and family it's open door at my house on holidays....Everyone is welcome!.....I cook up our family's traditional feast and usually add a new different something Iv been wanting to try out as well.....I usually start cooking/baking Pies/cookies(jello salads.. & prep work) on wed....and theT- bird on Thursday...it's a ton of work specially since I do it all myself now that Dad has passed( we always did it together ever since I was young girl,just us two)....but everyone really apreaciates it!  so it's worth it !! whatever you do, Rember, Thanksgiving really isn't about the food...though try to tell that to the men...lol....it's really about family and good friends getting together and enjoying each others company....and being Thankful for each other..... \nHave a Great day!\nBlessed Be!

When I first started dating my boyfriend, I baked a tray of cookies for Thanksgiving and brought it over for dinner.  The tray was GONE by the end of the day and now it's become tradition for my cookies around the holidays.  But it's not always about buying things or doing things for someone.  Obviously do what your mom would tell you, be respectful, polite.  Engage in conversation, dress appropriately, and be yourself!  :)  Oh and ask if they'd like help in the kitchen, mothers really seem to like that.

I never cook on my birthday. My Family either cooks for me or takes me out to eat.  I cook probably every day but my birthday, anniversary, and mother's day.

Since you got the first 2 covered, why don't you check out local organizations that will be serving dinner.  You could go and possibly make a few new friends.  Before you head out, though, you could take in the Macy's Day Parade on tv which is always good!  If those don't work for you, rent some great movies and make a day of the tv.  If you were closer, I'd invite you for dinner.  Happy Thanksgiving!

I love thanksgiving.  Turkey is great.  \nIf you are talking about the country, I wanna go there, it looks like a really cool place to visit.

Gotta be Thanksgiving - family, food, and fun - and none of the outlandish expense of Christmas! Not to mention the stress - Thanksgiving is just such a great laid back holiday - I love it!

I have just started a new job, and I will probably have to work Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years...and my parents live out of state. \nWe usually have Thanksgiving dinner together, go out Christmas Eve night to look at Christmas lights, and stay up together to watch the ball drop on tv for New Years. \nI don't think that I will get to do any of those things. (You'd think that since Katrina, employers would know the value of being with family, especially because we couldn't do it last year...but apparently not.)\nOh well...there's always next year, isn't there?\n\nCome to think about it...I cooked Thanksgiving dinner last year for the first time ever, and since I will probably be doing the same this year, maybe I am following a tradition (if the second time makes it a tradition) or starting one of my own.

It's probably not a traditional Thanksgiving dish, but that doesn't mean that you can't have it on Thanksgiving.  If your family likes it, why not make it a Thanksgiving tradition at your house?

Go to bed really early the night before, wake up at 11:00 P.M. and then get there at midnight. People are crazy during Thanksgiving, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's already a line waiting for you when you get there. Five hours is a long time, but it sure is worth the discount on that TV.

It is not only ok, it is preferred.  You can have Thanksgiving with me anytime.  I was starting to think i was the only one who did this.

It's all done!  We decorated the inside and the outside of our house on Thanksgiving...normally we go out to the movies, but this year we decided to get a head start and just enjoy ourselves, so the whole family pitched in and we were done in no time.  It looks great and we can enjoy it now for a month or so.

Yes, we also have way too much food. But, every year, I make each member of my families favorite food. We eat and visit and eat some more. Then , every year on Thanksgiving evening, we go to the movies.Dont know why, but, we just do. Every single year

It varies from year to year with me. Every thanksgiving morning, I wake up and watch the Macy's thanksgiving day parade on tv and sometimes call up my friend, and talk about it with her. Sometimes me and my family and my friend ( same one as on phone) go to the city and see the parade. In the past I have also had dinner at their house, and have even went up to Aunt's in Jersey, and saw some cousins. These passed two years I've went with my dad to this beautiful mansion restaurant thing. This year we might try a different restaurant. I will be watching the parade on tv this year. I am excited! we always have turkey, mashed potatos, corn, cornbread, gravy of course, sometimes applesauce... and some other stuff.

No.  You want good food that you know is good on Thanksgiving.  You were just being real with him.  Nothing wrong with that.

Go if you want. Stay home if you don't.
