Your Family’s Thanksgiving Traditions

Good morning everyone! Well, it was a rough night last night here in the Hill household. Hubby has been sick for over a week and yesterday he got worse in a hurry! He is home again today with me so I can play nurse. His doctor changed all of his antibiotics and sentenced him to bed rest for a few days. That means…honey, get me this or that will be going on for the rest of the week. Sigh.

Today’s Topic: Thanksgiving is next week! Yay! For over 25 years I have always cooked Thanksgiving dinner for the family…it was a tradition until last year. When auntie went into assisted living, we decided to go in to have dinner with her & her old lady friends in the home. We did it last year and auntie loved it. Not only that, her old lady friends who live there too loved having us since many of them don’t even get visitors during the holidays. This year…we are doing it all over again, so we will be in there having dinner with them come turkey day. On Thanksgiving we always give our daughter and our grand daughter a gift. We started that tradition with DD was a little girl and every Thanksgiving we give each of them a new ornament for their Christmas tree. This year DD is getting an “Engaged Couple” ornament and grand daughter is getting a “My Little Pony” ornament.

So, what kind of family traditions do all of you have for Thanksgiving? We would love to hear about them!
