Where do you go for Thanksgiving?

Where do you go for Thanksgiving?

We stay at home and everyone comes to us. Unfortunately my Mom choose a few years ago not to make the 50 mile drive from Baytown to Katy. She's in her 90's so it's probably not a bad idea.

We'll have a house full like always. I never can hang and wind up sneaking off for a nap. This will be the first year I don't have a 4 day weekend. Even though I'm in I.T. now (new job) the business is retail so they're open on Friday.

A small price to pay for finding a great new job right before the holidays!

So what will you be doing for Thanksgiving? Where will you go? Does anyone hop a plane and do that nightmare run? I can't imagine fighting with all those people traveling across country, but I guess we all do what makes us the happiest.

Driving isn't so bad, although 6 hours is pretty tough. All that airport stuff drives me up the wall though. So much waiting.

Each year we alternate holidays between my family in Ft. Worth and my wife's family here in Houston. And by alternating, I mean one year here on Thanksgiving and there the weekend after, the next year there on Thanksgiving and here after. We do the same with Christmas. It's about a 4 hour drive up there and 5-6 depending on traffic coming back.

So this year I'll be taking a half day at work to drive north on Friday.

Should be at home, nobody else. Making a big meal, to regret it directly after consumption.

Does that mean you don't have Thanksgiving on Thursday?

[nickyg]

I will, this year is Thanksgiving ON Thanksgiving here in Houston at my Mother-in-law's house, then traveling up on Friday. I get 2 Christmases and 2 Thanksgivings every year. We just alternate which family gets us ON the holiday and which gets us AROUND the holiday. Win/win :D

[bluedragon436]

Ahhhh okay, I missed that, I thought it was either or, not and. Other than a long drive that's a pretty sweet deal!

Going to my sisters place. 7 hour drive, I'll stay here a few days before going home.

[denverd1]

Staying home. Well, going to hunt today and tomorrow then back to the casa. The rents are headed to Chicago Thursday and coming back Monday. Don't feel sorry for them.

[NW99XJ]

[drakan1908]

Going to my parents. First time in about 7 years that my mom has felt like cooking. I can't wait.

ya are the same 2 of all the holidays and birthday too. my wife's family and my is to big for any one place so we change off on the days. I work 1/2 day on the holiday and a full day right after so we get a small room inbetween meals witch makes it nice. Like you said win/win.

Going to the inlaws. I hope to maintain a nice buzz. I can both understand and speak Ilocano after a bottle of wine. Kinda wanted to go back home since my great granny just gave life a notice that she quits (she died). Have a great time folks. Remember. No drinking and driving.

I can only add that it is bright and sunny so I may go to the porch for a good cigar.

Well I had one good helping at 3pm, then about 6:30 I took a 2 hour nap. Woke up not full, which of course means, time for a 2nd helping! My wife makes cranberry sauce and I forgot to get some on my first plate. Just fixed that mistake! Mmmmm!

Must be nice. Only place I went was to Prison. No turkey, no dressing. I had to work. : (

Ouch... I'm hoping you're a prison guard... :smiley-scared003:

[4.3LXJ]

Thanks for your service. I had the same situation when I was a firefighter, only punctuated by a little excitement

[editedforsafety]

I forced myself to sleep until noon, then went and had dinner with my girlfriends parents. I had to go into work at 7:30pm, and I just got home. Feeling pretty zombied out.

[Floridajeepcherokee]

LOL, Nope. C.O. Prison Guard is slang.
I just started so I had to work the holiday even though I'm normally off in Wednesday and Thursdays but b/c I'm a new hire. It wouldn't have been so bad except the shift put it where it wasn't feasible as in too early to eat before work and after work everyone is asleep. I recently left county employment. Prison appears to be more disciplined than jail.

[lthamm]

I have to work every holiday this year this is how it works out with the 24-48 rotation and this is the third year in a row cause I got changed shifts I forget what its like to have a holiday I think its rougher for our families then it is on us that do the public service

[ArmyGuy45]

Stayed home but invited 5 single soldiers from the barracks to come have a home cooked meal.

Wherever you went for thanksgiving, I hope you took time to give thanks for being able to participate. I was able to participate but many family and friends are no longer around to enjoy the moment with me.

When I was in the fire service, we had awesome shift Thanksgiving meals and brought the immediate family down to participate. The only problem is if the bells went off :patriot:

I was in Houston for Thanksgiving day, but I was in the truck and couldn't find a place to park for a nice meal. The truck stop thanksgiving meals are terrible, so I just had a sandwich from a convenience store. But that's allright since I need to lose some excess weight anyway.

I had a sandwich too at least u weren't in prison. When I drove cross country otr 18 wheeler I stopped at Shoney's on Thanksgiving and got my turkey n dressing fix. I believe Golden Corral has a traditional Thanksgiving meal as well.
