Less than a month ago, one of my coworkers lost her mother to cancer. She only moved to this state to be closer to her mom. She and her daughter have no other family here, so I invited them to come over for Thanksgiving.
I plan on doing what I always plan on doing. Baking what's requested of me. So far I've been asked to bake a coconut cake, cherry pie, and cherry brownie bite cakes. It's the best way to show my family I care and appreciate them. Food. ;)
Tell my family how grateful I am for them. Maybe help my Grandmother cook Thanksgiving dinner. She always does it by herself. Thank you so much for this giveaway. It's such a good one. I hope everyone really appreciates what they have.
I'm definitely going to be cooking for my family. This year we are going to be home with just us and th kids, so it should be much more quiet than with the big large family.
I REALLY want to add this book to my collection -- I won signed copies of the first two, so it would be great to have all three! Thanks for participating :)
thanks for sharing such an awesome giveaway! I plan on catching up with family :) Work also does a food drive for a local shelter and it's a lot of fun as all the departments get a bit competitive for a good cause. It's judged by weight so it's fun to see what people bring in to "cheat". Last year, someone in finance donated what seemed like 1/2 a cow... seriously... it was like over 100 pds of meat. We all cried fowl but couldn't begrudge the "cheat".
I will be inviting a neighbor over for dinner. Doesn't look like she has kids and is often alone, so I'm gonna make sure she's got some cheer on Thanksgiving.
I haven't thought that far ahead, but the first thing that came to mind is that we're skipping our family Thanksgiving to go to do Thanksgiving with a friend and her family while her husband is deployed overseas. Other than sharing the making of the meal, I'm not really 'doing' more than hanging out with friends.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. I love the Lunar Chronicles and thanks for the chance to win the latest.
I am going to make enough sugar-free desserts for my children to satisfy their cravings for sweets. I'm also going to love my family, friends, and those around me with all my heart.
I am actually going to be super busy. My boyfriends Grandma had to be put into a nursing home this year. We are still doing Thanksgiving over there, but it will be hectic. In years past his aunt has been in charge, but she has her hands full with his grandma. So I am helping out by cooking the deserts and some other small dishes. We've split it up among the women of the family so turkey is being done by someone else!
I plan on spending Thanksgiving Day with my daughter because she will go with her dad for the Day after Thanksgiving :) Then spending time with the rest of my family and enjoying it all.
My family helps each other every day so I can't specifically pinpoint one day:) My dad works on everyone's cars, my mom watches all of our kids, I help my sister with her college homework, my sister knits quilts for all the new babies in the family, etc. We believe in taking care of each other!! And last year I had three homeless teens living with us for a year. We don't ever turn people away.
I am going to donate a BUNCH of my stuff. I will also be helping out with a charity that my dad is involved in! Hope you have a great holiday! Thanks for the giveaway :)
I'm spending my Thanksgiving missing my eldest son who is serving in Korea. He is the oldest of 10, and this will be the first Thanksgiving he hasn't been home.
I will have my hands full like every thanksgiving trying to prepare all the food. My grandma has alzheimers so she can't cook. My brother's wife doesn't know how to cook and my mom has severe nerve damage to both hands so she can't either. My sister in law won't eat a lot of things so everyone generally wants different things so i wind up making a lot of different things! I guess mine is cooking because I get extremely stressed trying to get all the food ready and this year is going to be worse because I just found out I have celiac and haven't gotten used to cooking gluten free yet. Instead of stuffing though I am making dirty rice.
I plan on cooking dinner instead of going to my parents because my son, wife, and two of our grand kids are coming for Thanksgiving. It will be the first time they will be here because he has been in the Army stationed in Alaska and did 2 tours in Iraq.
I've been dying to read Cress! Thank you so much for this giveaway!
The things I'm looking forward to this holiday season the most are great food, pumpkin cheesecake, seeing my family, and Black Friday. Hope your holiday is great too!
I'm either going to help my parents pack up and leave the house we've lived in for more than 30 years, or give thanks to God for saving our house. Will be finding out this week =\
Other than making dessert (probably strawberry creme pie), I'm going to help my mother with black friday shopping. I guess our Thanksgiving dinner will have to be earlier. I can't wait.
I am hoping that we will cheer my mother in law up this weekend. She is having some health problems and I hope that between my husband, son and myself plus my puppy we will make her day just a little better.
I'm taking over some of the cooking duties for my mom--and coming up with some new delicious vegetarian recipes for us (since we're the only two in the family who don't eat meat)!
I don't know other than making dinner for my family, but it is always my hope to share something with someone to make them smile, if only for a little bit. Thank you for your generosity :)
We have invited a few friends come with us to our family Thanksgiving celebration. Ever since I was little my mom always made sure that friends had a place to go if they didn't have family in the area. We continue to carry this on.
we are spending Thanksgiving with my dad :) he's all alone in his huge house and is a very lonly man. we had been living with him, to help him out, but have had to move to a town 3hrs. away for my husband's job, so my dad has gotten very depressed without us :( hopefully we can make it a wonderful day :D
I'm planning on going shopping with some friends, so I might treat us to lunch :)
