My husband’s family is large!! To date, when everyone is present, one meal is 50 people {his parents, sibs, spouses & kids}. Before the meal everyone shares what they are thankful for : )
Being at my mom and dad’s house for Thanksgiving dinner every year!
my favorite was when i had t-giving and my sons were home and my parents would come for the day but life has changed and now my hubby and i spend the day at his sisters.
I love CSN stores! Great giveaawy.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is making the cornbread dressing. YUM!
Thanksgiving would be extra special if everyone could just get along!
My favorite Thanksgiving traditions are all the family dishes that have been made lovingly for years and passed down through the generations! I can’t wait to make my Grandma’s recipes for the first time this year as I’M hosting!
My favorite tradition is making peanut butter stuffed celery.
No one but me and a my cousin eats it, but we make it every year because of my grandmother. She would mix the peanut butter with honey and spread it in the celery. She’s been gone 11 years, but we continue to do it because it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without it.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is cooking all the neat different dishes that we don’t have all year. And using my Mom’s crystal goblets at the dinner table. I love CSN and your blog. Thanks, Lynn
A few of my favorites..collecting Fall leaves with the family,setting the table with the kids with the party dishes,then resting from the overfeasting :)
My favorite tradition is getting the christmas tree LOL. No I’m not confused, I’m always trying to convince my hubby that someone will be around to sell us a tree on thanksgiving!
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is cooking with the family.
I love turkey and putting up the tree and the sales sales sales. Thanksgiving is becoming one of my favorite holidays.
We sing the prayer. I can never remember how it goes until it starts – something like “we fold our hands, we bow our heads, to celebrate this great bread.” I love that.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the traditional meal and each of us saying what we’re thankful for.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition was going around the table hearing what everyone was grateful for!

My husband’s family has their family reunion on Thanksgiving. It’s the best tradition! I love all the food, watching the kids play together and tossing the football around. My family basically consists of my mom, my sister and me so I really appreciate the notion of a large family.

I think cooking the turkey is my favorite thanksgiving tradition though this year will be our first thankful tree so that might just surpass it.
Thanks for the follow – am following you back now! Great site
My tradition is totally silly, but now that both of my grandparents are deceased it is even more meaningful. My grandmother had these old timey napkin rings – wooden that would fit perfectly on your eye and look like glasses without frame or a black eye, after you were done with your meal you had to put the napkin ring on your eye to signal you were done. I have NO idea how it started, but we have been doing it for years. My grandparents would even get in on the act at 80+ :) My mom kept the rings from cleaning out their house this year, so the tradition can continue!
Thanks so much for coming to visit me! Returning the follow … :)

Making my customized adapted-from-a-texan-recipe Cajun cornbread dressing!
Actually Thanksgiving has become rather sad since my Dad passed away close to the holiday. But I used to love the smell of turkey cooking while we played games :)
I love the early dinner hour (normally we eat on the late side). But it’s great eating early then having the whole evening to relax and nibbb;e on leftovers!
My new favorite Thanksgiving tradition (as of one year ago) is eating pumpkin cheesecake for dessert instead of pumpkin pie. It was so scrumptious, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to pie!!! :)
Thanks for following me and I’m following you back.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is decorating for the holiday.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a favorite tradition.
My favorite thanksgiving tradition is getting together with family.

Every Thanksgiving we get together with a big bunch of our friends and I make my famous Cherry Cheese Pie.
All the family meets my house and after eating we draw names for Christmas.

I loved preparing the turkey with my mom.
My favorite is watching football while waiting for mom to finish the dinner.Bet that is not mom’s favorite part

Our favorite tradition is the older girls/wives always help my mother make her homemade butter flake dinner rolls (from scratch). It happens every year and it is definitely worth all the hard work- plus we all have the recipe memorized in our heads.
Pumpkin pie, and making pumpkin pie!

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the turkey dinner! When I first met my BF, I was having Thanksgiving with my parents and other relatives. I hadn’t known him long enough to invite him along, but felt bad that he’d be alone on Thanksgiving. Instead of him making a TV dinner and sitting in front of the TV moping like I thought he’d do, he made a full turkey dinner with all of the trimmings just for himself and enjoyed himself! That impressed me so much, and reminded me that attitude is everything! There was one Thanksgiving since then that we couldn’t get to my family and he made the whole turkey dinner just for the two of us, it was great!
Having everyone come to our house for dinner.

My favorite Thanksgiving holiday tradition is making my great grandmothers cornbread stuffing. It brings back so may wonderful memories of Thanksgivings past shared with dear family and friends. She passed away when I was in high school, but the memories of her smile and good cooking will always be in my heart!
my favorite tradition is our annual talent show (i don’t know why or how that started on thanksgiving but it’s hilarious and fun)
Making the traditional turkey stuffing!
Thanksgiving is really just a time for our family to get together and enjoy each other. That is our tradition. And of course we have to watch the games!
My husband’s family has a wonderful Thanksgiving tradition. On Thanksgiving night, everyone in the family, young or old, stands up to speak about the things they are thankful for. Sometimes there are tears and it most always lasts for over an hour and a half. It’s a beautiful, touching tradition.

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here, but I sure am glad that you guys created the tradition of pumkpin pie!! Yum :D
my favorite tradition is eating turkey
We have no family in the area, so Thanksgiving is big some years when travel is involved and not so much others. But recently, my church has been hosting a friends thanksgiving. It is awesome. So casual. Everyone brings something and we all hang out and eat. Then you take your one dish home and wash it-one dish! The best of both worlds!
Thanksgiving, we invite friends for a potluck dinner. Each one brings their special dish and/or wine and we also prepare 2-3 of our own special dishes. After dinner, we play card games, have pumpkin pie, watch a movie and enjoy wine.

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is watching young children trace their hands to draw turkeys.

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the big family dinner when my tiny little grandma makes us all bend to her will & mention something we are thankful for. We always end up rejoicing at how good the Lord has been & there are usually a few tears, too.
We have all of our friends that are going to be alone that day, and our family at our house for a big meal, then FOOTBALL.

I love hosting a big family gathering.
I like lots of yummy food.
my favorite traditon is no matter how cold it is outside- we bundle up and fry the turkey and all gather around the pit.

On Thanksgiving we all go to my grandmother’s, who is an amazing cook. Then we usually play cards or board games. And then of course I stay up all night to go shopping!
My favorite tradition is sitting around after dinner, eating dessert and drinking coffee and talking! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite tradition is watching the Macy’s day parade with my family.!
My favorite tradition is the smell of the fireplace while perusing the big newspapers, planning the next day’s adventure.
Thank you.

Deffinitely looking for holiday sales, I’m so excited my oldest child is old enough to stay home with the other kids this year so hubby can go shopping early black friday with me!!
[email protected]
Day after Thanksgiving shopping is a blast! So one of my favorite traditions is mapping out our strategy and finding the great deals. ;)
Each of my kids has a food or two that he or she feels like must be a part of Thanksgiving. I love that! I love that we may have 3 kinds of potatoes but everyone is happy.

My job at thanksgiving has always been to make the mashed potatoes and I love experimenting with new recipes to see if my family loves them! I love my job!

Shopping the next day! I finally had enough energy last year after having my girls…and I bought a sewing machine! I don’t think I’ll buy anything that big this year, but I hope to find some good deals again this year.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is my mom’s famous pecan pie. Nothing compares!!
Every year we have Thanksgiving dinner at my mil’s house-family on my husband’s side all gather together-
thanks for the giveaway
The only Thanksgiving tradition we have is chaos. LOL We never know who’s house to be at and what to make or bring. It is chaos but we like it that way. ….Tiffypoot @ (aol.com)
my favorite thanksgiving tradition is the family being all togeather and catching up on all the news. just being together and spending time together is my favorite part.
I always work at the Lions football games as a fundraiser for my girls dance. Then I come home to dinner with my family. It has worked out great because I don’t get stuck cooking or dealing with the boredom, lol.
One tradition though is the kids always make some kind of craft in which they list things they are thankful for. I think it is important to think about you are thankful before, especially right before Christmas when the kids want everything they see on tv & at the stores!
Wow! Just made it! I’m sending a friend over to enter also!
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the TURKEY. I love turkey and that’s the only time of year we have it!
