I'm so excited for Thanksgiving! We spend every Thanksgiving at Disney's Hilton Head Resort, and this will be our 20th consecutive year. I'm just a little nervous about the government shutdown and Air Traffic Control will affect us getting there. There've been lots of changes over the years, but it's still Hilton Head!

We're invited to DH's parents' house, and some other relatives we haven't seen since summer are driving up too, so I'm excited to see them.

Since my parents are now gone our Thanksgiving just includes one of my brothers at our house. We still make lots of food and watch lots of football. Grandkids comes over the next day to celebrate and help Grandma put up Christmas decorations.

Keeping it local this thanksgiving… just so i can return to Disney the following month! I’ll likely catch Zootopia/Tropolis’ sequel that weekend.

I am relatively excited about Thanksgiving. In my mind, it seems Thanksgiving is the beginning of the Christmas season. I'm not saying it IS, but in my mind it is.

I'll spend mine at the shelter, but I'm almost positive there will be all kinds of foods and treats delivered to me either there or my home. My friends always take care of me and I love and appreciate them so much for what they do for me.

I love Thanksgiving, sometimes we travel and meet with family in a rental house, and other years we're at home. This is a home year. I always make way too much food, I always want every single Thanksgiving related food item. And then we also have a mix of vegetarian, pescetarian, omnivores.

Add me to those that love this holiday. This year looks a bit different for us as neither of our adult kids or their wives will be with us, and neither will some other family that usually joins us. So it looks like a small group of just 5. But - that is ok, and we will still have a lovely evening. I enjoy every aspect of Thanksgiving. The shopping, the cleaning, the cooking, the cleaning up. I'll miss a busy, boisterous loud house but there will be other years to come with that....Plus Husband leaves for a hunting trip the day after so i get the get the house straightened up and whatnot and then decorated to my liking for the Christmas holidays at my pace. A nice, long 3 day weekend all to myself. I think I'll schedule a massage for myself during that time as well!

We usually do Thanksgiving at my parents house but they are neck deep in a kitchen renovation and everything is piled in the dining room. I hope they finish up before then but if not my brothers live close by and I hope one of them will volunteer to host. Our house isn’t big enough.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday but also bittersweet, as we lost my lovely MIL on Thanksgiving day in 2018 (11/22). We came home from a lovely holiday celebration at our friends' home to the phone message that we'd lost her.

This year, DD is working on Thanksgiving, so instead of having a traditional meal, I'll make my "World Famous" (according to the LittleGuy) macaroni and cheese, and we'll have it with salad for the 5 of us. We'll do a family holiday celebration on Saturday, when DD doesn't have to work and can help with all the baking, cooking, etc. Two of my nephews will be joining us for the weekend, and we might invite a couple of friends, too.
