It is an American tradition from way back, and is a great day for family and friends...both of which I consider all of you.

Who can do it better than Norman Rockwell...and a few others:D

2. WOW! That's quite the geographical area!

It's just my son, my ex-b.i.l and me this year, small bird this time around, but it's the day that counts, I love watching people eat and fell good...:D

3. Me too... My mother helps.. and she got just a little carried away this

year.. We have 12 coming.. So I have a 12 pound turkey, and she is making an 18 pound ham..That is 30 pounds of meat for 12 people..2 of who are vegetarians..

Reminds me of that movie..My Big Fat Greek Wedding, when the aunt asks.. "What do you mean you don't eat no meat.. thats okay I'll make lamb"

5. From the Onion: Grandma Concerned About Dinner Roll Count...

ROCKFORD, IL—Local grandmother Eileen Stafford, 78, expressed concern Monday over the number of dinner rolls she should have on hand for this year's Thanksgiving meal, appearing distressed when discussing the implications of there being either too many or possibly too few.

On a recent trip to the supermarket, Stafford reportedly purchased a package of 12 enriched white dinner rolls that was on sale for $1.89, and has since remained torn over whether a second package is necessary.

"They're a little small, and I don't want anyone to go hungry," said Stafford, carefully removing the rolls from the grocery bag to examine them more closely. "Of course, I can always give mine away if there's someone who doesn't get enough."
