Me too! I was always fortunate, as a young mother, to be able to spend the holidays with my children and family. I promised to pass on the favor when my kids left home. So, I work the holidays, willingly.

Well, I don't have any kids (non-feathered ones, anyway), but I will also be working Thanksgiving day. And Sat-Sun as well. So I'll spend much of the weekend at the hospital. But I have Friday off, so we'll have our turkey dinner then.

Look at y'all! 5 pages already! Seems like you all have something planned, whether it be nothingness or a big feast. For all of you who have to work, I feel bad for you.

I used to be in the same boat. When I didn't have a family I used to volunteer to work the holidays so that those who had family could celebrate it. Now it is nice to have a day or two with hubby around and he will have to suffer my cooking.

I am a little worried about all the left overs. 1 chicken, the cauwliflower casserole, a big jug of "bowle" (some German drink made out of fruit juice and champagne), some handmade mashed potatoes...I have a feeling the chickens will be getting quite a few leftover too

Now, who here will seriously get up early to go shpping for Black Friday? Are there such good deals? We live right by a big mall and the traffic is always backed up right into the highway. I will just sleep in until the horses wake me up I guess

You'll get to see all of us in there that ate too much

I for one am thankful that there are people like you out there working on a holiday so that the rest of us can find help if needed. THANK YOU

Not a chance. I'm actually glad that Friday is my day off this week so that I don't have to drive ANYWHERE during the shopping madness.

we usually have lasagna for christmas dinner

Mhm Christmas...we usually have rotisserie chicken for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I asked my husband once what he wanted with his chicken and he said: "What do you mean? I'll eat just the chicken." Such a farm boy
