Our only real tradition is to actually spend it with my family. Always my family for Thanksgiving and my husbands for Christmas (my family is usually so high-strung by Christmas, they're not even fun to be around!). It's always the same meal - don't try to deviate, because that spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E! And we always tend to eat about an hour later than scheduled. We call that "Leslie Standard Time" because my mom is ALWAYS late! My brother always makes the mashed potatoes because he makes the world's best mashed potatoes EVER! I always make the cranberry sauce. And we always do real candied yams (sweet pototoes) from scratch, never the can. And then we eat until we can't eat any more. Then we eat again a couple hours later. Then a few hours later have pie. Happy Thanksgiving!!!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031697360651709081noreply@blogger.com
