You should try writing your Grocery List on something OTHER than your hand............just saying
Last I knew I think we are having five people and tonight survived a trip to the grocery store lol. In fact I just finished with getting the turkey all marinated for the smoker tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to cooking all the food and most importantly cleaning up afterwards
The origin of Thanksgiving is Christian
In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition is commonly, but not universally, traced to a sparsely documented 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest. Pilgrims and Puritans who began emigrating from England in the 1620s and 1630s carried the tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving with them to New England. Several days of Thanksgiving were held in early New England history that have been identified as the "First Thanksgiving", including Pilgrim holidays in Plymouth in 1621 and 1623, and a Puritan holiday in Boston in 1631. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving

Drove down to my daughters this morning........turns out there were six of us for Thanksgiving dinner.
Wore me out though...........it's a two and a half hour drive down and two and a half back......only stayed for three hours...so I was really wore out when I finally got home.............thank God for pain pills...........and a short nap........
I did enjoy seeing them though........so I am glad I went.

This is the day I prefer over Thanksgiving. Because we're both disabled, we start cooking for Thanksgiving 2-3 days early so we don't overdo. But on that day there are still sides to make, and you really can't make the rolls too early. Plus we have a small kitchen so counter space is a premium, and I keep doing dishes throughout the day to make sure we have enough room. (Dishes after dinner fit into the drying rack next to the sink. Yay!) Ended up with a fantastic dinner and the world's shortest prayer before it. ("Thank you, Father." If we said anything besides that we'd burst out crying and couldn't eat dinner after what happened in this last year.) So, overall a hectic day.
BUT, while we're preparing everything, we also get out a casserole dish, start at the bottom with the turkey, stuffing and gravy, add the sides on top, and at the top of that is leftover mashed taters -- half sweet and have regular. Then aluminum foil over the casserole dish and pop it in the fridge.
Today? Today we listen to Christmas songs, relax, watch football (Whoa Memphis!) and talk about old holiday memories. I just plopped that casserole into the oven, so tonight we get the same meal with no fuss!
