Coming up pretty soon!! What plans do you guys have for the holiday? Traveling or staying home? What are you eating other than the usual? Any traditions your family is involved in?
My brother and I usually fast the entire day before, and then gorge ourselves during dinner. I will usually drop a deuce about halfway through the meal so that I can fit more food into my digestive system. Last year each of us put down over a pound and a half of mashed potatoes alone. We spend the rest of the day in pain on the couch watching TV.
For the past couple of years we've done the boneless turkey holiday meal for 6 from Boston Market. It is surprisingly good and surprisingly well-priced! Everything is "banquet sized" and you get spinach artichoke dip and crackers, cranberry sauce, 3lb boneless turkey breast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cornbread and an apple or pumpkin pie. It's about $60 for all of that. My mom will usually make some shrimp and or salmon for me since I don't eat the turkey.
What about you guys??

I'm not flying anywhere this year since flights are about double the normal rate. I will most likely host a dinner party on Thanksgiving and I will avoid all the staples such as turkey and ham in favor of crab legs and pork tenderloin.

Family is all gathering at my moms house in abingdon as we do most every year. We always deep fry a turkey and have mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, brocolli casserole, cranberry sauce, some ham, biscuits and cornbread.

Well I will be making my way back to virginia a week from today. We usually get all of our first cousins, aunts and uncles together which means about 30 people (kinda big family). We usually play a little family football before the meal, eat our faces off, and then root for the cowboys to lose afterwards. Unfortunately they are playing the Jets this year, so I'll probably have to watch tony homo throw 4 touchdowns.

we're riding up to Roanoke for the weekend (whats up Chan and Deersty!), probably rolling up wednesday night and hoping traffic doesn't suck too bad.
Jen's mom is making dinner for our families which means a monster oven cooked turkey, a vat of gravy, homemade mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, sweet potatoe pie, cranberry sauce, and my mom makes a homemade stuffing. usually i can make it through two servings before my heart starts to miss beats (think of Chris Farley as a Bearssss superfan punching his heart to get it going again).

Rolling into roanoke late wednesday, early thursday sometime. We usually have a smoked wild turkey, oven baked store bought. Some deer tenderloin in gravy, biscuits, sweet potatoe casserole, mac and cheese, green beans, corn of some sort..etc. Pumpkin, pecan pies, some kind of cake. usually it's all pretty good...and that's just the lunch time dinner! Then we go to salem for my other grandma's cooking..more of the same, usually less good. All the stuff in roanoke is usually home grown vegetables and such.

Naples, Florida, usual thanksgiving stuff, hanging out with my friend that owns a euro performance shop down there and chill out on the beach in nice 80-90 degree weather. Fuck this cold up here.

Ahh, nothing like eating thanksgiving with your girlfriends dysfuntional family.
This should be good, I'm gonna have to drink enough to make it as pain-free as possible.
Family is coming to my house and then I am probably going to the girlfriend's house for dessert.

It gets messier... try having a sibling who's married and has a kid like yours but wants things at her house and she lives out of state.
Shit gets up to like sixfer... that's what I've been dealing with this week.
