I'm staying in town to watch my parent's dog as they go to North Carolina for the holiday.

None. Small family gathering for Turkey and the usual sides at our house. I’ll be anxiously awaiting for the last relative to leave. My only holiday travel will be a 90 mile trip to MO on Friday or Saturday for a weed run.

We were originally supposed to drive to the no pic’s family in Ohio. Unfortunately the no pic had to have emergency surgery and is recovering in the hospital. So looks like it will be a quiet thanksgiving. None the less I have an abundance of thanks that she is on the mend and for the fine doctors, nurses and aides that have cared for her. This year more than most I am thankful for our medical professionals.
My son (no pics) is flying home from New York tomorrow. I haven't seen him in almost a year.
No travel. My (no pic) daughter is flying in from Jax tomorrow and our son live in town. My cousin and is partner are in town from Miami and we'll see them on Friday.
None other than going to my BILs house on turkey day. My sons are coming home for the weekend, one will be home this evening & the other tomorrow
Having Thanksgiving here at home. Youngest son lives 5 miles away.
Christmas is at his place.

Day trip to my son’s father-in-law in Southern Maryland. Just 15 people, but awfully big by our standards. We were going to spend the night and do karaoke, but no pic has a new job and doesn’t get day after Thanksgiving off.
Home for the holiday and reheating a Sprout's cooked meal. Friday night flying to Lauderdale and then boarding a cruise on Saturday morning at 10:30am!
Driving the 12 miles to my folks house for dinner and football.
No travel this year. Two sons, DIL future DIL and grandson getting together Thursday night for appetizers and game night. Friday a big batch of chili and cornbread for football viewing. No big meal this year but we’ll make up for it at Christmas.
Nothing, staying here in Long Beach. But, as tradition, I go with my friends to their big family gathering. The dude's family is Mexican, and her's is Salvadorian.
They make traditional foods from their countries along with turkey, mashed potatoes, and all that stuff.

Pics of hot Latinas eating turkey?
Unfortunately most of both their families are what many of us refer to as "tortas."
I'm a big fan of the torta that refers to the Mexican style type of sandwich. Those are indeed yummy!
Celebrity Apex. Going to St Kitts/Nevis, Tortola and Puerto Plata. Plus a few sea days.
We have a Sprouts opening near us. I’ve never heard of them before. Are they good?
Dog sitting and eating what I want to eat. Stone crab and lobster claws and corn.
The usual Tri-county Thanksgiving, the first without my WWII dad, who died in April a day shy of 96. I'm at the head of the table now. I'll lead a prayer of thanks for the meal and a Packer victory over the Phish...
I will travel from CR to my home town of Dubuque Wednesday night. Wake up early and help my no pic Mom with the meal. I cook the bird and help with the fixings. I leave after meal. Have to work Friday. I like preparing the feast more than eating or anything else.
Thanksgiving here in town at the TBE's....gathering of 20-25. I fry a couple birds. Will try not to burn down the neighborhood. Saturday am headed to Ames for the game. Will have my nut warmer along.

Work all night the night before, sleep a few hours, drive 90 minutes for a meal and drive back 90 minutes, and go back to work and try to stay awake until 3am.
2.5 hour drive south to my sisters place. This could be my mom’s last Thanksgiving so going to make the best of it.

I’m thankful we have folks like you. Honestly, appreciate everyone who works so we can enjoy a safe and peaceful holiday.
Don't forget the most important rule when frying a turkey- make sure you drop it in the oil right out of the freezer!
I’m sorry to hear that although I had heard she wasn’t doing well.
I have a short drive to my mom and bonus dad’s. Siblings and their families will be there as well as a few nieces and nephews. One niece flying home from Montana State so that will be a good time. Me gusta el aubiendo.
Only crummy thing is my daughter and her husband flew to Atlanta to see his family and my son is in North Dakota with his GF. That part is a little bit of a bummer.

People are sooooo stupid. Simply turn the propane off before dropping the bird in case it boils over. No fire that way. Once everything is good, turn it on again.
Bout to hop in the car for a road trip back to Iowa. I only get home about once a year anymore so we always look forward to it. Turkey, football and card/board games all day Thursday and off to a friends bar Friday to watch the hawks!! Then back in the car and head home Saturday. It has become a tradition to listen to the osu/Michigan game on the radio while driving home.
