Happy Thanksgiving!

My family almost always has a big dinner for both Thanksgiving and Christmas Day at our house, when we have some family over. My mom has a huge china set and we break (NOT literally!) it all out and fill just about every little pot and jar and dish and plate with SOMETHING. My favorite parts of the dinner are the sweet pickles (I always get the little midget sweet pickles), the black olives, the Stovetop stuffing, and my grandma’s/mom’s famous “orange salad.” What about you?
After dinner, we all get together in the kitchen and help out with the clean-up and washing and drying the dishes, which is all part of the fun too! Then it’s back in the dining room for coffee, pie, and ice cream.
At my house, though, the day AFTER Thanksgiving is almost as big of a deal as the day itself - and it’s not because of the shopping! :-) Starting the morning after Thanksgiving, and usually lasting thru most of the weekend, we decorate our entire house, from top to bottom, inside and outside, and even our barns and outbuildings, for CHRISTMAS! You’ve never seen boxes until you’ve seen our house on the day after Thanksgiving!! We’re all dead at the end of the weekend, but it’s worth it!
