    Whats your favorite part of Thanksgiving?

    I'm in the mood for something fun, so lets see what is the best part of Thanksgiving!

    Mine is having everyone together and enjoying each other's company. No fights, no drama, just a quiet day with each other laughing and having a nice time.

    Since Bruce and I rotate Easter and Thanksgiving, sometimes there is a whole year when I do not see some of my extended family. Except weddings or funerals. So I enjoy getting to see everyone. All of my cousins kids are getting so big, they are almost adults now. I feel so old. I used to be the "baby". LOL
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    When hubby started work he has always had to work on Thanksgiving so my mom throws a dinner for him so I would definately say the company. You just can't beat a great dinner with your family.

    I voted for the start of Christmas season. I love how in between Thanksgiving and Christmas everyone is just... nicer! Fresh snow (we got some last night!) Christmas songs playing in stores, warm fires, hot chocolate and cider...

    I have to confess... I'm one of "those" that pulls out the Christmas CD's after Halloween! I decorated the house for Christmas two weeks ago.

    Yes, the spirit of Christmas is most definitely my favorite part of Thanksgiving.

    After lots of thinking I came up with a rational dicision!

    I voted other.

    My reasoning? To me, it's a mix of all of these things that makes Thanksgiving so special to me.

    I love the food. It ties the generations together - my mom's stuffing & gravy, my dad's turkey, my aunt's sweet potatoes, my grandmother's desert.... all of these people have been gone a long time, and I love spending a day remembering them & carrying on their traditions. Now I've passed on recipies to my sons, along with a few I've created as well.

    Hehehe, you beat me to it. It starts off with the parade, and beginning to get the food started while watching the parade, then watching Miracle on 34th Street after the parade (sorry, I absolutely have to watch it on Thanksgiving-the orginal of course), then smelling the turkey cooking and the pumpkin pie cooling, and talking and laughing with friends and family. Yes, it is the whole package that makes it so special.

    Not to be a downer but I don't have much family left, lost my Mother, Father and brother and now its down to my sister who sort of stresses me out on the holidays.

    I get an invitation written like an invitation to a business meeting, be there at 1, socializing from 1-3, eating at 3, bring enough mashed potatoes to feed 23. Its just sort of cold but I do need to let my girls enjoy the holiday, I will make sure I drink wine
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I have been frosted!

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!

    Watching the Macy's parade on TV. Sigh! I am a parade NUT, I just LOVE parades. Always have, even as a child. I got to walk in one twice!

    The family is just the 3 of us, Dad, bro and me. I end up doing all the cooking, and the food aspect is tricky what with Dad being diabetic.

    I was almost going to miss the parade this year; got up this AM and our cable box is not working. Tried and tried but they can't squeeze in a repair visit to get us a new box until Friday. My 5th call, the support tech told me I can move the cable connector to the co axial input ont he TV and get the 3 local stations, one of which shows the parade! Hooray!!! Gotta run, have to figure out which cable to undo and where to reconnect it; I even got the TV Owner's Manual out for this one. Wa hoo!

    I voted for the day off but actually I get 4 days off! I also love the food and the start of the Christmas season.
