Workers' Compensation Discussion Forums

Hi all...I thought I would open a discussion about what we are all planning for our thanksgiving holiday. Maybe even discuss our plans for Christmas and New Years.

For our family, we are not having our celebration on Thursday the Official Thanksgiving. Daniel my youngest daughters husband is a nurse and he is working on that day, our son and his finance are going to her family's home on thanksgiving...so we have all decided to have it on Friday, the day after. The grands are staying at our house (except the baby Dominic) on Thrusday night. Del and I are doing most of the cooking so the girls want to help me make some pies. I hope I can do it, have not done it in a few years due to illness. We will make some cookies also. Our family always makes snickerdoodles on Thanksgiving. Brandi is going shopping early Friday morning and then she, Dan and Dominic will arrive at my house around 1 pm. Christopher and Sophie are coming around 3 pm since Sophie has to work 1/2 a day at her job. We are going to have dinner around 4 pm and then dessert and coffee around 8 pm. Typically we all play games such as Rook, Spades etc. This year however, I will have them all fighting (play fighting) over playing chess or checkers on a wonderfully made checker board that Del recieved recently from the dearest of friends. Brandi and Dawn my oldest usually play scrabble, but since Dawn is in Oregon Brandi will have to satisfy herself with me. I can't spell worth anything, never could...all my college never left a dent in that problem...but Brandi is very good with words, writing, and spelling so she will always win, but that is ok, I never play because I want to win, only want to play. The kids and I usually play yahtzee... especially the disney one that they all can play well and understand...it is more of my cup of tea when it comes to games anyway.

Well that is a picture of our thanksgiving. What does everyone else have planned. My prayer is that everyone on this board will have a wonderful day with family and be pain free and your hearts will be full of happiness and contentment. God bless you all... please have a great time preparing and if you are traveling, a very safe and joyous trip. Love you all.... my heart will be with you where ever you are... Red

We will be having a huge dinner at church....I normally make peanut brittle on thanksgiving nite....I am fixing a ham and the fresh fruit salad

im leaving town !!! a first for this family

Iam cooking, a 19 lb turkey, already thawing. Traditional dinner with Turkey, stuffing, cranberries, glazed carrots, mashed taters, molded jello salad ,rolls , relishs, Mincemeat and pumpkin pie. My mom and my neighbors on both sides and a single friend, Mom I will pick up the nite before as she always supervises. just a quiet day with family and friends.......... I usually have my sons but this year they decided to go to Florida to spend time with there dad and family and step sister I wish you all a great Thanksgiving.

John and Samtha will be going to her families on Thanksgivings day and then Friday we will going to my sisters for dinner on Friday. I will be making the pies and hot rolls.

The same as last year.

All my husband's family is getting together. They make two turkeys and we all bring the salads, side dishes, and many many desserts! I'm working this year, so I'm looking so forward to a 4-day weekend. After Thursday's event which is about a 2 hr. drive, we will just kick back, relax, and probably watch a few movies.

I wish you all the best this Thanksgiving, safe travel, good health, happy thoughts. If you are suffering depression, try to be around people. There are many churches offering dinners, and it would be a good time to mingle. Go out of your safety zone and just do it!!!

AQA, you are so funny!
