HI everyone!!! How was your Thanksgiving? Who did you spend it with? A friend or relative, someone perhaps you did'nt get to see for a while? Did you have services at your place of worship? Did you go out and help feed families, the homeless, the hungry? I enjoy hearing how different people from different walks of life celebrate their Thanksgiving.

My Thanksgiving was great! We had dinner with the in-laws and got a bunch of pictures. This is nice for us because MIL's health is declining, and there's a good chance this will be our last Thanksgiving with her. I love her so much, and the thought makes me sad.

For dinner we went to my parents' house. This was wonderful because my mother and I have been estranged for 10 years. Over the past few months we've slowly started working through our differences. This Thanksgiving was my first time in my parents' house in almost 10 years. It was nice to be "home." All but one of my sisters were there, and we had a blast! We took some great pictures and spent the whole night laughing. It was a day to truly be thankful for!

We had a pleasant quiet Thanksgiving with my sister, her two sons, her mother-in-law, and my aunt. We have had 2 recent family death (my mother and my sister's husband) in the past couple of years and so our family is very small and we are missing them very much. My oldest nephew enjoys singing and sang several Japanese and Christmas songs for us which we enjoyed a lot! God bless.

Well my Thanksgiving was two-part. First, all the members of the church I attend got together and brought a dish. There are so many different people from different places that attended, so there were lots of different kinds of foods. There were the American made stuffing and stuffing brought by someone from Aruba. There were the American traditional turkey and turkey made by someone from St. Kitts (British). We all had a wonderful time together worshiping and eating as one family.

Then it was off to Georgia the next day! Four wonderful days all alone! Without kids! (Yes)!! That was my first time ever going to GA. We stayed in a place call Buckhead. It was awesome! Shopped some, went to a museum, visited Peachtree area and downtown Atlanta. Also visited someplace called Alpharetta and went to several open-houses there. I had a great time. How was you're Thanksgiving spent?
