Thanksgiving is an elaborate occasion at our place, where the entire family gets together at our house. We already started shopping for it at the beginning of the month! First and foremost, the menu is decided - this year it's roast turkey (but obvious!), sausages with herb stuffing, green bean casserole, mash potato gravy, sweet orange potatoes, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce and sparkling cider (see, I know it like the back of my hand!)
The kids will have a long weekend holiday so they are planning to watch the much-awaited Penguins of Madagascar movie. Some of us adults will have to accompany them (willingly or unwillingly). The others will lounge back after stuffing themselves with the delectable spread and spend the remaining hours of the day watching football.
Oh, and we also like to play the A to Z family gratitude game, where everyone sits together in a circle and every person says out loud what he or she is grateful for, according to whichever letter of the alphabet the player is upto.
Festive times are here!
