I'll drive the almost mile and a half to the parent's house and do jack shit for the rest of the day. My family's pretty good like that with holidays. Nobody really cares all that much, so we just hang.

I'll be going to the same place I've gone since I was 6 - my aunt and uncle's in Glencoe.

All the cousins have our own kids now, so instead of us running around, we'll be watching our kids run around. Crazy.

My wife and I are cooking for our families. It's our first Thanksgiving in our new home, so it's exciting and a bit nerve racking. Our goal is to get everyone sauced quickly, and set them down in the living room, and out of the kitchen. My wife's Mom and sisters are outstanding cooks, so it's going to be tough.

Wed eve, mum and stepdad are having my grandparents (fresh off a sixtieth wedding anniversary) and I for dinner. Turkey, pumpkin pie, Iron City...

Thurs pm, I go to my dad and stepmom's for an early dinner.

Might see The Family Stone - if it's out on Thursday - because it features my cinematic crush Rachel McAdams and personal hero Craig T. Nelson (ardent social conservative, yet somehow, someway connived a way to appear in Where the Buffalo Roam - was prolly a bit of an head himself, too).

this will be the first thanksgiving that i haven't been with either parent. a couple that my mother knows invited me to their home for thursday. i've known them for a long time and they've been very accommodating since i moved here last year. they're apparently having some big dinner with everyone who lives on their street. and i'm going with an nsa friend that also isn't going home for the holiday.

now, they told me to not bring anything, but there's no way i can go to someone's home on thanksgiving and not take something. i'm thinking of baking some pumpkin or zucchini bread. any other ideas?

this is normally my default, but the husband is a wine connoisseur. he built a cellar downstairs that now holds around 600-700 bottles. he is very serious about collecting and i simply don't know enough about his taste to get him something that i'd think he'd enjoy. i'd liken it to someone buying me a CD because they know i like music.

Hosting our annual thanksgiving dinner with our Portland family. No real family members will be in attendance. Husband and I do the turkey, gravy, stuffing, and various desserts. Husband actually brewed pumpkin ale for the occasion, and I must admit, it's quite good. Friends are bringing various and sundry side dishes. Much wine, champagne and beer will be consumed. If we're energetic enough after dinner, maybe we'll play some games. No work on Friday.

Lunch with gf's dad's family; Dinner with gf's mom's family.....First time meeting the aunts uncles cousins (I have met one set of grandparents); this is my definition of hell especially because I don't think these people are exactly drinkers......and their little girl is living in sin with an open monster.

My parents are the lucky ones--they went to their condo; my brother and his wife and kids wanted to just do their family sooooooo I'm stuck in this one.

The gf is already discussing unforseen "car trouble" attacking my truck on Thursday.

My wife's dad drinks beer but maybe 1 or 2. He always offers me one, but I think it's a trick. Like let's watch him drink and talk about him being a raging drunk.

going home to my parents' place in iowa today. i have to work on the first draft of my research paper, and a paper for another class (both due next week, on the same day), but i am definitely planning to relax as well. dinner on thursday with my parents, younger brother, aunt and uncle, some cousins and both grandmas. i'll help my mom cook (i make some fine gravy), my dad will bust out some good wine and there will be some napping involved.

i'm also going to a get together on friday at an old friend from high school's house, where there will be lots of people i haven't seen in quite a while. not sure how i feel about that.

i'm not close with my family at all (except my mom but unfortunately i won't be able to see her) so a good friend of mine invited me to his house for thanksgiving. his mom is the BEST cook ever (she started cooking yesterday!!!) so i'm looking forward to it.

all my family has moved, is dead, or is too drugged out to drive so it will be my wife, my mother, and me at my mom's apartment. my mom will still cook enough food for 15 people.

FEMGAR's STAID, SUBDUED, WHITE, MIDDLE CLASS, TEXAS REPUBLICAN parents get to come to my dad's compund for 3 days of the worst flithy drunks you can imagine.

Should be OK, but I am, understandably to anyone who knows me, or has been to said compund, nervous. Ahhh, I'll just get drunk, like usual
