Like your family, we all take turns sharing what we are grateful for before the blessing. For family who can't be with us, we call them and the phone is passed around the table so they can virtually "join" in the meal. Most years there are a few "adopted" family members. These ar people who don't have family close by to share the day with. They become part of our family for the day. Yes, the football games are on. Although the TV is off during dinner. It's a warm, relaxing day of togetherness. Thanksgiving is a day where disagreements are put aside and worries left outside the door. Blessings abound. Aloha and Mahalo, Arleen Anderson Thanksgiving is one of the best days of the year, because we pause to share and be grateful.

Everyone brought a different kind of pie. The kids are still talking about it. We will do this next year, too. I also had ancestors on the Mayflower. Maybe they knew each other, lol We started a new tradition this year- the night before Thanksgiving was the only time we would see my brother’s family so we had ‘pie night’.

My two youngest grandkids are 800 miles away, so I am always looking for ways to stay in touch. A few weeks ago, I sent them each a packet of dried leaves that were especially colorful and they loved them. I just subscribed & am looking forward to your suggestions for Christmas & New Years!

I do enjoy all the stories and tips. Wish I had more time to check it out more often. We're having the youngest three kids and nine of the seventeen gkids for Thanksgiving Day, and part of them for the weekend. We always try to have a family phone call with those who can't be with us. Makes them feel like part of the get-together. We always have way too much food, because each one has a special dish or pie it wouldn't seem like TG without! I think I'll use your idea with the corn this year. It's always good to stop and remember just how blessed we really are. HAPPY BIRTHDAY,TANDA!(it’s still your bday in Arizona!)

I also started a tradition with my husband's family and we embark on the crazy Black Friday adventures the next day. So Thanksgiving is spent scouring the newspaper ads.
