It sounds like you did a great job hosting Elle. One thing is for sure a Brokie Thanksgiving would be extra special. Course I don't know how all of us would get away from our real families ;)
As far as my Thanksgiving with my family, it went fine. My sister's fiance wanted to know how I liked San Fransicko. I said what and he explained that one of his favorite conservative radio talk show hosts always refers to it as that. Apparently this talk show host lives in SF and goes around in a trench coat to see all the "weirdos" that live there ;D I told him that I see stranger people here in Asheville than I saw in San Francisco or New York City. He said he would expect to see transgendered people walking around and people like that. He made them sound like zombies from the night of the living dead :D I told him that I didn't actually see any. I also mentioned during the conversation about some Christmas lights on the house across the street. He told me that it was a couple of guys who lived over there that were very creative. They also had a bunch of stuff for Halloween. HMMMMMMMMM.....very creative......wonder what that means ???
Anyway, all worked out fine.

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Together with my mother, my brother and his wife, and my sister's daughter. We were all people who wanted to be together, and we had a great time. Would like to hear about your Thanksgiving!!

We had 14 people for the meal, and a pal came over in the evening. Most people brought stuff to eat, but the cooking, setting up and cleaning up kinda got to me in the neck and back for a few days.
Ah, well. It's that time of the year!

We went to our sons house. He made a deep fried turkey, and his wife made homemade garlic mashed potatoes.
I made the rest of the meal. Bought the pumpkin, apple, and pecan pie. Easy peasy Thanksgiving.
For Christmas we are all going to go out to eat at a nice restaurant. NO WORK....yay!!! We will have breakfast
at home and have dinner out..

We had me, Mr. Meno, MiniMeno, 5 of my in laws, and a beloved friend. We have a vegetarian household, but on Thanksgiving, my sister in law makes and brings the turkey and turkey gravy. She also brought the stuffing, the rolls, and chocolate sauce. I made mashed Yukon Gold potatoes, my world class golden gravy with mushrooms, green beans, and served "boughten" tapenade and crackers, raw veggies, pumpkin pie, berry pie, and a couple of ice creams. Pretty easy. I served it all buffet style. I also, for the first time in my life, I think, wrapped a fork and knife in a napkin for each person to take at the end of the buffet line. I found it very fun to wrap them up ahead of time, and don't know why I haven't ever done it before.
We mostly just talked when not eating, but did have a pretty good time playing a kid version of charades for a while. They stayed three hours, and it felt like it flew by, I was sorry to see them leave. A darned good enough Thanksgiving.
