The Silver Thanksgiving Questions

"Just the dead turkey on the platter." LOL!! I like the pic of the turkey butt.
ReplyDeleteWe had a low-key Thanksgiving, too, just me and my parents. No big fussy feast but a delicious meal.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad when Thanksgiving is over, more and more. I still like getting together at Christmas, though.
ReplyDeleteWe made a 20 hour round trip for Thanksgiving with my husband's siblings. Nice, but tiring!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh over your comment about not turning down a big drink at 5:00 on Thanksgiving. It made me think of the year I had my husband's entire family here (at the time that was around 30 people!). My niece was here early to help and when we heard the first car doors slam in the driveway she piped up with..."The family's here. Where's the alcohol?" She and I still laugh about it. Holidays can be stressful, for sure.
