due to covid still being a problem, thanksgiving will be limited to just me and my folks this year. this is so depressing....

Not sure what Thanksgiving will look like for us yet.

We're having Thanksgiving early just with my mom, my wife, brother and his fiancee. Afterwards, I'm planning on attending Wrestlecade where I'm meeting Sting!

Food, family, and Sting. Sounds like a fun Thanksgiving.

This year it will probably just be us having a nice dinner. I don't care for turkey so we throw a cornish game hen on the Ronco grill. I'll watch Plains, Trains and Automobiles and call it a day. I definitely get nostalgic when I think of the early Thanksgivings of my youth. The ones where 30 people were crammed into a house,  and you played with the cousins you only saw once a year. In my adult years I really look back and enjoyed the memories of those obscure realtives that seemed to come out of the woodwork, I remember one year this 500 pound man in overalls was at my grandmas, he ate a ton and I remember my mom saying he lived by himself and didn't have a phone.

That is really cool vkimo. I really don't have a lot of memories of Thanksgiving. It was one of the more boring, uneventful holidays when I was a kid. We would just go to my grandparents house. I don't really have any obscure relatives that came over. It was just my family, my grandparents, my aunt, my one uncle. Sometimes my other uncle and my cousin. Occasionally my grandmother would invite a friend over.

I remember Thanksgiving 2005 we spent the night over. I got to sleep in the living room on the couch. Since everyone else was upstairs, I spent the entire night watching TV. I had some memorable Thanksgivings later in High School. 2009 my dad built a homemade smoker and we had pulled pork that year. 2010 it was just me and him on our own so we spent the entire day on the couch eating paninis and watching movies. 2012 I had my wisdom removed a couple days before so I remember trying to gum down my steak.

I don't know what we have planned this year. My fathers has a bunch of steaks in the freezer that we have to cook off.

Has anybody else's taste in Thanksgiving food changed through the years? I know I used to love deviled eggs, beets, and cottage cheese during the holidays. Now... yuck.

I still love the old standbys... turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie, noodles, etc., but some of these other less popular choices I just don't like anymore.

Pumpkin pie is awesome, but I love a good apple crumble, but don't put oatmeal in the topping!

what if jon's thanksgiving was without garfield, and garfield was just a hallucination?

We attended a park lighting ceremony tonight...
