My Thanksgiving Day is full of so many of life's blessings -- and I'm not speaking those of monetary value -- that I'm grateful just to be there with my husband, mom and her husband and sister.  I say all my thank you's to my Higher Power before I embark on my journey to fill my 3 day dietary quota and when we're all there, you can bet I soak up every minute of being there in one piece and you're damn right--be thankful people!  And I'll be glad to watch whatever football game is on because I have terrible reception on my home TV.  :)

My goodness!  All those people and you're on bed rest?!?!?!\nLet everyone else bring the food, you can do potluck.\nI do have a story.  My nephew's wife was responsible one year for cooking the turkey.  She got up very early in the morning and put it on, fixed other things, then decided she would lay down for a while.  Well, of course she fell asleep, and when she woke up it was almost dinnertime.  The turkey had cooked to leather.  Luckily she is a quick thinker.  She borrowed leftover dark meat from a friend who had done her turkey the day before.  And she went to a restaurant in town and bought a cooked turkey breast.  She cut it up and stuck it on a platter together and came on to dinner at my sister's house.  Told them she had decided to carve it at home.  My mother bragged on how good and tender it was.  She didn't tell my sister (her mother-in-law) about it for years!\nSeriously, let the family help you.  They will understand.  So put your turkey in the oven (don't go to sleep and forget it, though!)\nLet the hubby straighten the house.  Let the others cook and bring a dish.  Then let them all clean up.  While they're at it, they can do the decorating while you supervise from the sofa!\nGood luck to you, and Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes sweetheart, I'm alone today.  I chose to stay home, I could have gone up to LA to visit my sister, but didn't.  I am leaving for vacation next week so I had alot to do.  Are you lonely?  If you are please consider this a hug from a friend.  May God fill your heart with peace today, may He show you all the things that He has given you because He loves you, even if you are alone today.\n\nSo you see you're not really alone, I'm over here smiling and waving to you, telling you that I see you and I hear you!

go to volunteer match or look up local shelters and do community service together.\n\nswap names for christmas gifts.\n\nshare your favorite and funniest thanksgiving memory.\n\nstart and "Thankfulness Tree" where you write what you are thankful for on a small circle cut out of paper (and each family member can share) and hang them on a small tree or plant. THEN keep it up with your kids and either every night at dinner make another circle paper/ornament and write what you are thankful for. Each week at dinner review the week's thanks!\n\nThis is kind of like pictionary combined with communication... pair people up with a partner. Then elect one to be the "drawer" and one to be the "teller". Show the "teller" a piece of paper of what they are supposed to DESCRIBE to the "drawer". They cannot look at the paper of the drawer. They cannot tell the person what they are drawing. They must sit back-to-back. Samples of things you can have them draw: a smiley face, a snowman, a present with bow on the top. \n(so like for a smiley face the "teller" could say: "draw two dots next to each other. Then underneath the two dots draw a "U". Now make a big circle around all of that.). You can just make up any picture for them to draw that you want. Again, the teller cannot look at the paper and say "No, move this..." or anything. \nYou can time it if you want and then compare pictures amongst teams afterwards!!! See who was closest! See whose was just waaaaaaaaay off!

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 had a really wonderful and happy Thanksgiving.  I got to spend time with my family, and it was really special.  My grandmother died two years ago on the day before Thanksgiving, and this was the first time I have been able to be with all the family for Thanksgiving since then.  We all had a lot of neat memories and stories to share of Grandma and of my great-grandparents too.  I learned a lot of family history, and it was really great that everyone was so open about their feelings.  I also got to meet my cousin's new fiancee and see my uncle's new puppy and look over my parents' remodeling job on the house and visit with my brother about his job and eat so much good food.  I had a great time.  I was just really sad that my sister was not able to make it for Thanksgiving.  I have not seen her in 2 years and was really looking forward to being with her again.  But I was so excited to find out that she is expecting and couldn't travel because of the morning sickness being so bad.  I am so thankful for the wonderful time I had with my family this Thanksgiving.

I'm sure that family gathering just remind her of your grandpa.  You should really convince her to go, she shouldn't be alone on the holidays.  If she won't go, then maybe some of you go over and visit her.  Hope she feels better soon.

Congratulations and best wishes to you! Yes, I was able to count my blessings this Thanksgiving as well despite the fact that I lost my father just 3 months ago. Although I am single and have no children, I was able to spend Thanksgiving with my mom, two brothers and thier wives and my 3 nieces and nephew.

first go to a church and offer prayer and thanksgiving to God for making u what u r today and for all the blessings that has come your way.  \n\nthen u could go to an orphanage or a home for the aged and spend some quality time with them.  \nu could donate something if its within your capacity, but then most of all they would appreciate it if u could spend some quality time with them.  \nremember, they are more lonely than u are.  your company would be a mutual pleasure for all of u.  good luck and God bless.............

You don't have to do anything.  Just being home with your family will be enough.  As much as you want to be back with them and get back to life at home, they want the same.  Just get home and love them like never before:)  Welcome home!

Well welcome back to Ohio!!  LOL!!  As I have for the past 22 years, I will play "meals on wheels"!  Got off work at noon and commenced baking pies and prepping.  Tomorrow Hubby and I will pack the car and go off to my Dad's house.  Our kids will come over for dinner at Grampa's after visiting with their friends and family.  We'll eat too much, make a mess of Daddy's house (he'll smile through it all), clean it up, give him hugs and kisses and head for home (of course, we'll have to leave a pumpkin pie for Pop's "midnight snack").  He does get preferential treatment being the oldest member of the family (86) and only grandparent!
