Love, love, love Thanksgiving weekend! My sister's cream cheese mashed potatoes, my mom's pies, my personal cornbread and sausage stuffing, then mercilessly defeating family members (including my nephew, who is quite good) at Monopoly - it doesn't get any better than this.
We always go for a walk on Thanksgiving Monday. It's just a walk in the woods, surrounded by fall foliage, but a smaller family member labelled it as a "turkey walk" several years ago, and the name has stuck. It's our favourite family event of the year.
Hey - anyone out there got any Thanksgiving traditions or memories?
Sunday, our church congregation is packing up chocolates instead of listening to a sermon. They go in little baggies, tied with a ribbon and a "Happy Thanksgiving" tag, and then we're delivering them to every apartment in the two buildings down the street. Many of the people there are new to Canada - wasn't the first Thanksgiving something about sharing food with newcomers...hmmm, that sounds familiar.If you're part of the chocolate delivery crew - let's hear your delivery stories!
A Happy Thanksgiving to You!
