Hello bookworms and welcome to a very special discussion post! Today we're shaking thing up a bit, doing thing a little different, taking a break from talking about book and discussing our Thanksgiving traditions! I love getting personal with you guys so I'm super excited about telling you guys how I celebrate Thanksgiving!
Unless you're not an American, most of you know that Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holiday because the only thing you're expected to do on Thanksgiving is eat! And I love to eat all the good Thanksgiving food: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, dinner roll, green bean casserole, yams chock full of sugar and pumpkin pie!!! I'm getting hungry just thinking about all this!
When I was kid, hosting Thanksgiving used to be passed around between my family members so one person wasn't responsible every year. It was really fun but it was always a little bit different every year. Now that I'm older, my aunt and uncle have taken it over because they love hosting Thanksgiving. My aunt is Indian (as in from India) and it give her the opportunity to invite her whole family over as well. It turns into this big event and sometimes there are as many as fifty people there! They even make two turkeys! One regular turkey and one spicy turkey! Now I have to have spicy turkey every Thanksgiving! So we have appetizers, the dinner, desert and coffee and that's pretty much the whole day.
As for black Friday shopping the next day, I don't do that. I usually work the next morning pretty early and so does my fiance. Just another regular day at the office. I may stop by the mall after work, but usually everything is already picked through and the sales are all gone. I'm more of a cyber Monday person.
So those are my Thanksgiving tradition! Go see what Nite Lite Book Reviews, The Reader's Antidote and The Windy Pages do on Thanksgiving! What are some of your tradition? Have a topic you'd like us to discuss? Let me know in the comment!
Nice gif there. I like it. Yeah I don't do too many sales except for the yarn store sale. Sometimes I'll go to Target and stuff to bop around but I am not crazy or anything. I want to try this spicy turkey.
ReplyDeleteYou know what is tasty....a baked Brie wheel! I think I should make another of those....we have the typical dinner with my husbands family...I wish we could have a not typical one with crazy dishes, that would be more fun.
ReplyDeleteBaked brie is fantastic!
DeleteYes baked brie! Remember when you had that knitting party and we ate baked brie but we didn't do any knitting we just ate a lot of food? That was awesome!
