So what are your plans for the holiday?

We're driving up to Wisconsin tomorrow for Thanksgiving. And while we're up there we're having Christmas because it's the only time we'll be able to get the entire family together.

I'm going to my Gramma's.....tons of family and good food! Although, some sort of drama always erupts on Thanksgiving....

Oh well...I love drama! :)

Grandparents' house. Supposed to be nineteen people there. Going to be crowded.

We're going to grandma's, too. She lives here in town though, so no traveling for us! Most of my family lives here anyway, so it's no big deal. Tons of good food, though, and I cant wait!!

Yeah, same here. In fact, my grandparents' house is within walking distance, though at about three miles it's a bit far to walk.

A nice quiet day at home. Very glad not to be doing any traveling.

Off to visit my parents in Milwaukee. Many of my siblings will be there with families. We will all go to the Mitchell Park Domes to enjoy the flower displays.

Well tonight...Im going to a pre-thanksgiving party type deal...(Im making the ham)....then tomorrow its my both of my grandmothers. One at 12, one at 3. All in all, going to see a about 100 family members. My father comes from a very large family.

Five of my six brothers and their wifes are coming to my house. I am cooking a turkey and a ham and all the trappings. We are going to eat to much, watch football, shoot the bull and then eat some more!

tonight friends are coming over to help prepare stuff for my sisters bat mitzvah (17 days and countrin, ack!) so we can relaz a little this weekend. then my randma and aunt are coming tomorrow, and my freind harry is coming up on friday.

yup. you've never read my rants about labor zionism and the poltical situation in israel? and my crazy jewish family?

I'm working.

Sorry to hear you have to work, tara. Where do you work that is open on Thanksgiving?

Almost everything here is opened on Thanksgiving, but with limited hours. Big stores like Walmart, Kmart, Big Lots....

It really sux that so many businesses are choosing to open on Thanksgiving, and other major holidays. That puts the minimum & near minimum wage folks on the job while their bosses sit at home enjoying the day. There's a large segment of society that works 24/7, but not every merchant needs to open the doors ever seeking the almighty buck.

Here Wal-Mart is open and Big Lots was open for a while and some convenient stores, but that's about it. I think it sux though that the Wal-Mart and Big Lots employees have to work on this day.

:rant:

I spent the entire day running ALL around town doing pet-sitting for all the people who are out of town, having a nice holiday meal with their families.

My Thanksgiving meal was a Lean Cuisine Thai Chicken entree. Woo.
