Father turkey giving advice to son:
???So you get to have 2 turkey dinners over there ?
Sounds nice Bea .....???
We always had turkey for Thanksgiving and roast beast with Yorkshire pudding for Christmas.
The big Christmas lunch finally fell by the wayside in our family and became more of a cold buffet or snack table.
Sounds like the pressure's on, Bonnie!Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.
For myself, it's a busy and fun time of the year .. have three family birthdays coming up around that time..
@Aunt Bea Our big meals at Christmas and New Year's were "dinner" no matter what time they were served. It all depended on my grandmother's work schedule because she was a nurse. Every now and then, she'd get Christmas and New Year's off but most years it was one or the other. There was a time or two when she had to leave to deliver a baby. The doctors wouldn't have dreamed of leaving their own holiday celebrations so called her to cover for them.The big Christmas lunch finally fell by the wayside in our family and became more of a cold buffet or snack table.
I love hearing about your family Dave, and how close you all are. How wonderful to be in the same home all of your life and I bet it's beautiful.Our family has always had large gatherings at Thanksgiving & Christmas. I'm sitting, as I post this, in a chair beside the same fireplace where I used to send up my notes to Santa as a little guy. The home has passed from my grandfather, (who had it built in 1921} to my folks, then to me, and along to one of our daughters back in 1995. We retained a life lease when we passed it on. In all of those years I've managed to move from the children's table in the living room, through the double doors and now sit at the head of the "groan" ups table in the dining room. It'll be 88 years these coming Holidays.
