Dressing and gravy!

Chinese food take out or tamales if I was industrious enough to make some.

It’s a tie between the stuffing/dressing and the crisp turkey skin. We carve in the kitchen, and we all sample the crispy turkey skin before the bird is sliced.

Stuffing!!!!

Pecan pie for me!

I prefer canned jellied cranberry sauce WITH all ridges present and also a can of the whole ones too, for fanciness.

Awwwww. How adorable. ❤

Looked good but it was actually an empty shell that left a weird, sad after-taste.

My aunt's pistachio salad. Doesn't matter if we've ordered food from the local grocery store to bring home or done it all at home for both Thanksgiving and Christmas pistachio salad always appears.

Dressing/Stuffing ( we do Thanksgiving at DH's Sister , not sure how she does it).
Also Wegman's Cranberry Orange Relish. I can take or leave Turkey. When my Mom & Aunt did Thanksgiving they'd also have a Ham & I would eat it over Turkey.

. I am thinking of getting the Christmas Tree version for our extended family Christmas party if it's in the Store.

My MIL is bent this year because there’s not going to be any pie.

If she wants a pie she can bring a pie.

I really didn’t notice at first. Where is Butter Justin’s left hand and what’s he doing to those pandas?

I can’t make up my mind about what the Butter Pandas’ eyes and expressions are saying.

I usually buy the butter Christmas tree too. And the butter bunny at Easter. Keller’s used to have a butter lamb at Easter but changed it to a bunny about 5 years ago.

Silent cry for help...just like the rest of us, eh.

Dressing for me. Okay, to clarify -- dressing that's been baked and stored in the fridge, snuck out in golf-ball sized bites, eaten cold. Yes, I AM that person.

Kids (now grown) would say apple pie. I'd love to just make pumpkin, but they insist on apple. And DH likes my fresh pumpkin pie over canned. Sigh. And I'm still using a cane from my knee replacement. DD's coming home from college and says she'll help.

We always had both turkey and ham, when we were hosting 20+ family members. Now, it's only turkey. One year we had turkey, ham, and tofurkey - I was glad I have a big oven.
