Thanksgiving Traditions - What are Yours?
The turkey is unthawing in the refrigerator and I'll be spending some time today getting the house ready for guests and preparing for tomorrow's Thanksgiving meal.
Except for the turkey, dressing and gravy, I don't particularly stick to the "traditional" way Thanksgiving dinner is cooked. Unless someone brings it, you won't find green bean casserole on my table and I'm known to throw in a different dish for an unexpected twist.
Thinking about the many different ways and places we have spent Thanksgiving over the years, there is one thing that is reoccurring - apart from the turkey - and that is spending the day with others.
We were not always close enough to family to have a family Thanksgiving, but there were always friends to share our Thanksgiving with. We are continuing this tradition by inviting friends, collegues, and others we know who don't have family nearby to spend Thanksgiving with us.
Everyone has their own Thanksgiving traditions, what are yours?
