I do have plans, but I would certainly be ok with grilled cheese and cheesecake. Some days I would prefer to just stay home, but will go to please others. We will be gone 4 hours max! I have a four day weekend, so going to relax at home a majority of it.

I'm not. Going to the cemetery and maybe to a movie if I feel like it.

I'm heading to my brother's but to be honest I'd be happy and content to stay home in my sweats and pig out on homemade pumpkin pie and reddi whip while binge watching Christmas Hallmark movies. It was a busy stressful work week and I'm kinda beat. Supposed to bring green bean casserole and I should really start preparing tonight, but I'm on here. LOL!

Husband and I are going to a local steakhouse and we are making a small turkey on Friday. Mostly for sandwiches etc.

We are always alone. We have two sons but the daughter-in-law’s ALWAYS have to go to their side. We have to work around them. So we go to the movies Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day etc. hubby and I are just thankful we have each other going on 52 yrs!

Blessings to ALL

Does sharing baked ham, corn pudding, baked sweet potatoes, and deviled eggs for dinner qualify as 'something'? We will then enjoy some pumpkin pie and a cup of hot tea on the couch by the fire while watching the National Dog Show. Will probably check in on a few football games also. I look forward to a leisurely Thanksgiving together.

I'm doing the same thing tomorrow as I did today. Our local restaurant chain Zippy's has the Thanksgiving special today and tomorrow.

The Thanksgiving takeout plate lunch consists of turkey with gravy, ham with raisin sauce, Stovetop stuffing, 2 scoops rice and a smidge of cranberry sauce. 'Broke da mouth' delicious!

And of course pumpkin pie for dessert as a side order.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We like our holidays quiet. We have been invited out but declined.We had older friends and kin that we would invite for dinner. We liked that.

We do have a TG tradition. One year I was in a wheelchair and not able to do much. When Mom came for dinner we had TV dinners (not me I am a vegetarian) she said it was the best TG ever. We have the TV dinner in her memory.

I'll be cleaning parrot cages. I might, if I finish early enough, go to the movies. I am at work usually seven days each week (it's my business) - tomorrow will be my "spa day" - no phones, no people ... just the feather babies and me.

Just the 2 of us here not counting the dogs and cats. Husband is getting ready for hunting camp. We will be having roast half duck with orange sauce (courtesy of Aldi's), various vegetables and pie for dessert. Graham Cracker Cream and Banana Cream ( with real meringue) picked up from a local restaurant.

We cancelled our plans because of the snow in northern Wisconsin. With little food in the house, I'll make a kettle of chili. We can have bacon and eggs for breakfast so it's not like anyone will starve. House is decorated for Christmas, so we'll watch parades, football and play some cards. I'm looking forward to the peace and quiet.

This year it is just DH and me. We planned a simple Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow - turkey & stuffing in the crockpot, with garlic mashed potatoes & gravy, green bean casserole and pecan pie. We were snowed in today so we decided to cook it all today instead of tomorrow. I love the scent of good food cooking throughout the house (with little work on my part). So, we got the turkey (thighs only, as we are both dark meat eaters) on a bed of dressing in the crock pot this morning and spent a lazy day snowed in. It was good, an easy clean-up and now we have good leftovers for tomorrow. It was a good decision!

Wishing you all a good day tomorrow, whatever you may do and hoping you have many things to be thankful for this year. I know I do.

I am not doing anything, nothing special and no turkey.

Wishing all a good holiday and happiness and health on the day.

@gidgetgh I'm thrilled it is just going to be just DH and me...a nice peaceful day with great food, out of the snow/traffic-travel, and have our holiday DVDs lined up. I can't wait to watch the Macy's Day parade...hoping the balloons will still be flown.

All our holiday decor is up so many pretty things to enjoy looking at too. Our holiday meal is prime rib roast, ceasar salad, keto custard tarts and James Arthur Vineyard's Edelweiss wine.

Find the positives & blessings and enjoy your holiday!
