I wanted to wich all of my fellow ledge community friends the best for tomorrow! SO what are y'all eating? My stepdad is an UNBELIEVEABLE COOK so among other things we'el be dining on Asparagus with Hollandaise sauce, The best damn turkey ever, and Bananas foster for dessert along with pumpkin pie. MMMMM Like I need to eat anymore, but oh well, F**K it, at least for one day.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

I have to work (for the third year in a row) and so I'm not going anywhere or seeing any family. I'll probably pick up a turkey dinner at Cracker Barrel on my way to work - I cooked my own small one last year, but it was too much trouble...and a co-worker says the CB has a good offering for Thanksgiving...so that's what I'm doing.

Christmas is my big holiday - Thanksgiving I don't care as much about although it would be nice to have the freakin' day off...it's around the holidays I start thinking of getting into another line of work

Happy Thanksgiving to all...

I plan to sit here and listen to my collection of Queen music the next day or so (Deb has to work 7P-7A so no trip for us), as my way to celebrate Thanksgiving and the life of Freddie Mercury.

Thanksgiving has really lost its luster to me without having a parent or grandparent alive to celebrate it with.

Sometimes listening to music like that is the best thing.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

We'll be spending the day at my aunts' house, and I plan to eat my weight in turkey, stuffing, brussel sprouts and everything else!

It can also be a hard day for people who have lost loved ones. So I'll be thinking of you.

I personally love Thanksgiving, as it is about family and food and no pressure around gifts. Corny, but I try to spend a little time thinking about what have to be thankful for.

My dad grills a hell of a turkey and my mom is the best cook on the planet, so I will be quite satisfied. Plus lots of wonderful wine pairings. That combined with my gluttonish eating in Boston last week is setting my marathon training way back.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all you fantabulous Ledgies!!

I love Thanksgiving but mostly for the spiritual significance to me... almost more of a "New Years" in that it's a time to check my own personal gratitude and count my blessings.
I tend to save the family get-together for Christmas since everyone else lives in other states. I have an awesome cat and dog, tho.... MY family!!

I love that Cracker Barrel idea.... mmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

If you are anywhere that has a Copeland's restaurant and you are not cooking - go get the Pilgrim's Platter. It is TO DIE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do the same thing around this time of year, then feel a bit sad because I don't appreciate fully what I have year-round. Thanksgiving starts a time of reflection for me - and well as a time of restructuring.

And since all of my family is in another state, I also save the family time for Christmas...but do have my moo, Clancy. She's getting a special treat in her dog food tomorrow...otherwise she'll sit with her nose in my face as I eat my turkey

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!

Tonight, most of my "boyfriends" will come over for the Madonna concert on NBC -- we'll order pizza, drink a lot of wine and have fun. I'm thankful that I have these men in my life -- they keep me happy and full of life!

Tomorrow, I'll go to my parents house where my brother and sister and their families will all be, including my four neices and one nephew. Delicious food and lot's of laughter. We are all healthy and have much to be thankful for.

Enjoy, everyone!!
