@FutureCEO , what are your plans for Thanksgiving? Will you be spending it with all the rellies again? Between Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers, you had some amusing insights into the holidays.I'd be curious to know how things turn out this year as well!
We are actually doing Turkey Day again at my house this year. My aunt is bringing her tacky Thanksgiving plates and bowls.
My other aunt is making her chourico stuffing. 
My grandparents are coming over and this will be the first family holiday since they moved into the assisted living centre so that shall be interesting. Meanwhile, we filled a 3 ton dumpster to get rid of most of the carp in their old house.

And, needless to say, you didn't disappoint me with your answers!!
(P.S.: I think we'd all enjoy seeing a picture of the tacky Thanksgiving plates, if you can discreetly take a pic tomorrow!! 
)Also, I know how difficult it is to clear out a home of your grandparents, when they move out. We had to do that years ago; it was a lot of work getting it all done. (One good thing about my own situation of moving around quite a few times during the years, is that it forced me to keep the essentials only, as hauling around "stuff" was too much of an effort.)

I know it's crazy. The trend now is big distribution centers around the country. The old style shipping of the most direct route to your house is over. Mostly everything now goes first to the closest regional distribution center (which is often not even in your state) and then they dispatch trucks to deliver to regional houses from there. It may save the shipping companies money, but it sure doesn't do much for the people waiting for their packages!

I thought about that and my mommy and mil got together and vetoed that idea. My mil is retired and my mommy doesn't cook. Come to think about it most of my family doesn't cookHey, I have an idea for next year, so that you won't have to work so hard for days and days. What about a pot luck Thanksgiving, where everyone would bring one item to the feast?
I think I'm the only one on either side that can handle the various special diets.

That's something I don't have, holiday dishes. I have stacks of plain white ones I got on clearance for big family get togethers. Maybe I'll venture out and look for some on sale this weekend. Just kidding I'd like some Christmas ones but it's money better spent elsewhere.And, needless to say, you didn't disappoint me with your answers!!

Yup. If they can make an assignment due Sunday at midnight, then we want study guides and review days.No, you are right. A professor shouldn't be yelling at a student.
I guess times have changed since I went through university. I'm gettin' old.

Thank you. The one I have just says onion and celery sauteed in butter and some sage and you pour it over bread cubes. So I do a bouillon cube in the butter, and add a bit of salt and pepper, and I cook it in a covered dish in the oven, since I can't get a turkey to stuff. I also use more butter than what it says because otherwise it's too dry. It's really not a great recipe.

From the sounds of it, you won't need to cook for a MONTH if you don't want to. You can just eat leftovers!Sometimes they act like itBTW I am NOT cooking Friday! Water for my tea is going through the Kurig

Gotta love the harvest display in the land with a nice butternut squash in a rather promiscuous setting. Not sure I'd have gone that way at Disney. But ok.

Yep, I understood what @Cesar R M meant, and I didn't really give it a second thought. As you posted, his knowledge of the written English language (without formal study and pretty much just from the Internet, and throw in being hearing impaired) is amazing.
Bein' from Texas, I'm pretty much a "Y'all" guy.
When I travel through the Carolinas, I always love when they say "All y'all". I have taken to saying it myself.
