being with family
All the kids had to clean up and do the dishes. We kidded around and told jokes so the work was fun and went fast.
My favorite Thanksgiving is probably going to be this year. I have been out of state for 16 years and now back home with family in Massachusetts. Sure miss this.
Just spending time with my family 🙂 I loved helping my mother make her cakes and pies while my brother cooks the mash potatoes and other stove top foods
When my Grandmother was alive & I used to help her cook every year. She used to tell me so many amazing stories. I miss that
My favorite memory is the whole family having dinner together then during dessert we would draw names for Christmas gifts so we would know who to buy for.
My favorite memory from Thanksgiving was the first year I made dinner by myself. Everything turned out great and I was pretty proud of myself 🙂
Being around my family and friends and able to talk and laugh and enjoy each other company. Also enjoyed all the dishes that were prepared.
My favorite memory is the first Thanksgiving I spent with my husband (when we first started dating) and his family =)
the best memory I have tarted out sad. In 1998 my house burned down and my five children and I lost everything. Just before thanksgiving the community BANDED TOGETHER WITH SO MUCH DONATIONS, i COULDNT BELIEVE IT...WHAT AN AMAZING BLESSING.
My favorite thanksgiving memories revolve around the tradition of having everyone say what they are thankful for. I love hearing that, especially from the kids.
I really miss having Thanksgiving dinner first with Mimi and Papaw at lunch then with Nana and Grandpa doe supper
Having the whole family together
I remember sitting down to watch movies with my poppy and we would watch son-in-law while everyone was cleaning up. He started laughing so hard he couldn't breathe and had tears running down his face 🙂 I look back on that fondly now as he has passed away
My favorite Thanksgiving memory is from when I was a little girl. We lived in Chicago, but we would travel back to Ohio each year to spend Thanksgiving with family. One year, my grandmother allowed me into the kitchen to "help" for the very first time. I felt so grown up and so special. No one was allowed in the kitchen when Grandma was cooking. Now, I live in Georgia, and I can't get back to Ohio for Thanksgiving anymore. I sure miss my Grandma, but I know she'd be proud that I'm still carrying on her recipes and traditions.
The year my grandma taught me how to make the gravy. Nobody could EVER cook quite like her, and she didn't really believe in measuring tools so it got a bit interesting learning how to make things from her - but to this day I still usually make the gravy for family get togethers & I always remember her laughing when she tasted it that first time - she was so proud that I got it right!
My favorite Thanksgiving memory is when it was my first Thanksgiving with my son and husband! My son was old enough to get to eat a Turkey dinner, and he was so cute!
My favorite Thanksgiving memories for me are from when i was a child and Both my Mom and grandma would be n the kitchen cooking.I would go in and help and stir stuff. it is also where i learned to cook.I miss them very much and even now when i am so happy to have all my family over for Thanksgiving it is a little bittersweet .
Loved family meals with all my family there. Now, a lot of my family have passed away. I would love another HUGE family gathering.
My mom always made a thanksgivng meal everything was homemade.the whole family would be together.it was special.
I love Thanksgiving as a kid all 4 of my grandparents were still alive. We had a huge meal and great times and memoriies.
each of my relatives had a specialty dish they would make and bring. I would give anything to be able to have one more of those fabulous dinners, oh well, I'll get one in heaven I guess
Everyone sitting around snacking and watching football
My favorite memory actually occurred last year. My husband just came home from a year deployment in Afghanistan and we were able to spend Thanksgiving with both of our families! It was such a special time for all of us!
when i was much younger living at home and we were a family now my mother and brother are gone and everybody has gone their own way and nobody keeps in touch. so now i call my daughter every thanksgiving we are in 2 different states but we talk all the time if i win this i would give it to her her husbond is getting out of the army and when they get to washington they will have no money for food so i would like to help her out thanks
Amazing stuffing from my favorite old time store
My favorite memories of Thanksgiving are trying out new recipes with my kids every year. They get excited to help with some parts of making the dinner and feel a sense of pride when it is all put out on the table. And everyone once in a while we find a recipe that becomes an every year tradition!
My favorite memory is sitting around playing board games after ar eat.
Any of the holidays before my mom passed away were great.....I didnt realize what we were missing out on until she was no longer with us
my favorite memory is my mom would make all her pies the night before and she would get up really early thanksgiving morning and cook all day she always went all out to cook thanksgiving dinner and we would eat till we couldnt eat anymore
My favorite memory is writing what I was thankful for on the tablecloth year after year 🙂
My favorite memory from Thanksgiving would have too be from last year. It was the last Thanksgiving with my father-in-law. My now husband and his sister have not gotten along for many years and as we were going to sit down at the dinner table, my FIL sat down, my husband next to him and then his sister right to him. The whole dinner they got along. We did not know that would be our last Thanksgiving with him. He passed that Sunday following Thanksgiving.
My favorite memory from thanksgiving has got to be my whole family getting together for an amazing meal. Our family didn't really get together much when I was growing up, so it was a big deal. 🙂
My favorite memory was the first time I ever baked the ham for our thanksgiving dinner. Not knowing anything about it and being new to cooking, I forgot to take the plastic off of the ham. It's tradition for my children to remind me about that every Thanksgiving and Easter. It wasn't funny at the time but it's hilarious now. 🙂
My favorite memory is when our family would get together at one of the families homes - food would be cooking. We cousins would be playing. Later we would sit down to a table of Turkey, cranberry, stuffing, oyster stuffing, butternut squash, rolls, other vegetables, and other stuff. There were would be laughter and family stories and Thanks given and rememberance of loved ones that with us.
When I nwas little I would write turkey poems for each person at dinner. I also loved the smell of My Mom cooking Thanksgiving dinner...
My favorite memory of Thanksgiving is the coming together of family. I love having all the people I love together and sitting down to a lot of great food. Love the hussle and bustle getting everything ready and then proudly serving it. Great time of year.
I love Thanksgivings since I've had my kids because family is the biggest blessing to be thankful for.
In the past before I was married we would all gather at either our house or my aunt's for dinner with
everyone bringing a dish so it wasn't so much for the host. It was a lot of fun but most of the family
from then has passed but I still have the memories.
My favorite memory is going to my husband's Grandparents house for Thanksgiving- my own Grandparents were gone before I was born so it was always so nice to have a holiday at a Grandparents house.
I absolutely love Thanksgiving! I loved it as a kid because we didn't eat family meals together very often, but Thanksgiving was always a day when we ate together. I remember having to sit at the "kids" table and then finally one year when I was old enough I got to move up to the "grown up" table and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I love showing my kids though that this time of year is a time where we should tell and show our family how much we love them and we should realize that we are very blessed and we should be thankful for everything we have. I love family and the holidays.
My mom always calling each one of us kids by name and telling us she was thankful that she was blessed to ne our mom.
I love thanksgiving. It makes you remember all of the things that are important and for that reason be thankful everyday. But my favorite memory about thanksgiving is being with my family enjoying time together
My favorite memory is when I got chicken pox over Thanksgiving, so my dad stayed home with me and took me to White Castle for supper and we went driving around looking at the "Thanksgiving" lights. To this day we still eat White Castle for lunch on Thanksgiving and the kids love this tradition.
Ironically, my favorite Thanksgiving memory is the year I was about 8 or 9 and I was so sick that I couldn't eat anything except clear fluids. We had 20+ people at our tiny 3BR house. (We usually had only about 8-10 ppl for holidays). It was like something from a movie or a tv show. Kids being kids, more food than we had ever seen, perfect fall/football weather. I watched everything from the couch, snuggled under my blanket, being waited on when I wanted something and left alone when I didn't. It was perfect.
I would have to say my favorite thing is sharing food, memories, laughs, stories of the past and love with our family and friend <3
my favorite memory is my grandma's dressing. It was delicious!
When my kids started to help me pick the menu and cook the meal.
We watch the parade and the Charlie Brown special. My kids love it every year.
Helping mom decorate the house or community center before the feast!
Going into labor with my oldest son 16 years ago and still not having him until a week later
My favorite thanksgivings are the ones spent in our childhood home that unfortunately burned down 5yrs ago in February. I would help my mom cook every year & our last thanksgiving I cooked the whole meal by myself. Lots of good memories and laughs.
when the turkey was burnt and while the adults were arguing over the burnt it was knock off the table and the dogs grabbed it and took off to living room with it CMU LOL
going into labor 18 years ago and being blessed with my daughter Cassidi Christine! I dont think i will ever top that day!
My favorite is making my very first whole entire dinner...11 years ago, and a brand new mom and wife. It was so yummy and perfect...never been able to do that one since, lol.
the year we hosted it and deep fried the turkey! i was so scared my hubby was going to burn down the house, but it was a huge success.
My favorite memory is from childhood, when my parents were together and my grandmother, Great Aunt, and Great Uncle were all alive. We would all sit around the huge dining room table and had family time. My grandmother was always in the kitchen helping my mother and my Uncle Ted was always fixing my Great Aunt Ann's shirt.. he always liked her looking perfect, which she always did. My dad would be in charge of picture taking and always wore a sweater. I remember every detail of those times and I miss them. I miss that my daugthers don't have family in the area that is able to come and spend the holidays with us.
Thanks for the chance to win!
The whole family getting together,. I miss it since I moved. We cant afford nice thanksgiving dinners anymore and no family around 🙁
My favorite memory is the first year that I cooked a turkey on my own.
Year's ago as mom was leaving the house before she left she told me not to let my sister take the turkey out of the oven. She did and dropped it on her new stove door. We didn't have enough jucie to make the gravy and it run between the glass door.
just being together as a family and enjoying delicious food.
Having all my children at the table instead spread out all over the country & 1 gone already. I am missing them already.
My favorite memory of thanksgiving is when we would all cram into my uncles tiny house for dinner. We would be crammed around the table but it was the best!
My favorite memory is when I was a kid and my ENTIRE family was at our house. After dinner, we played board games and watching home videos. It was so awesome 🙂 One of those rare perfect moments 🙂
Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
My grandmother's raw cranberry salad.
When my grandpa was still alive we used to all gather at his house for dinner.
Having all my family for Thanksgiving, sitting around the table and sharing laughs.
My grandmother cooking EVERYTHING and not allowing anyone else in the kitchen!

The year I got to march in a Parade in Philadelphia and visit NYC with my Grandmother. We ate who knows what, but it was a memory I'll never forget.
My favorite memory is the first time I made a turkey on my own....and forgot to remove the little bag of 'innards' still laugh about that
My fave is the family gathering from all across the country 6 generations in all.We played games and remembered all those no longer with us.
fave memory of thanksgiving is eating till we were full taking a nap and then doing it again for the next few days! what a blessing!
As long as I can remember, my dad would invite someone to our Thanksgiving dinner that had no where to go, or that he knew was having a rough time. There was always room for one more at the table, even though there was six of us.
Celebrating my daughters birthday with Thanksgiving
The Thanksgiving when the oven broke, and we had to take it to the neighbors house to cook. Or when it was when we tried to fry a frozen turkey? hmmm toss up.
A favorite is when EVERYONE would get together at my grandparents house. Since they have both passed, family get togethers have disappeared.
My favorite Thanksgiving memories are of being in the kitchen with my grandmother, mom, and sister, and learning all our family's traditional holiday recipes.
I dont have a specific one I just love spending time with my family.
My first cup of coffee with "the grownups" ( I was 12), after Thanksgiving dinner; with Grandmother's special mincemeat pie. Best Thanksgiving I ever had.
having a thanksgiving turkey and watching football with the uncles when i was about 10 years old.....then it started snowing.....
getting the whole family in one place for a fabulous meal!
Last year was the best, I invited all my friends that were going to be by themselves on Thanksgiving. I ended up having about 15 people and we had the best time ever.
My favorite Thanksgiving Memory is when my husband and I first moved in to our new apartment and made dinner ourselves. We were a little off with timing, so our turkey cooked all night long and we woke up to the scents of freshly cooked turkey. It was so wonderful!
I lost my mother at 26 and my dad at 27, so all the my best memories were around 12 and under when I had them, my sister.my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all together. I have a feeling this year will be a favorite new memory since it will be the first that I get to celebrate with my son and his family because they've finally moved back to FL. I feel blessed.
Thanks for the wonderful giveaways. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

It's last Thanksgiving with my family including my parents around the table full of delicious dishes and games and movies afterwards.
Thank you for the giveaway.
In 2011 When My Husband Came Back From Afghanistan Just In Time For Thanksgiving
My favorite memory is laughing all day when my cousins came over. We had so much fun. And we managed to eat something too!
my son recieving is liver transplant in 2009 🙂
Cooking my first turkey, finding it was much easier than I thought!
My first thanksgiving four years ago (im British) is my best memory. My Husband just got back from deployment so it was extra special.
My favorite Thanksgiving: budgeting enough money to buy all the food (plus some for the following weekend and week) for a Thanksgiving dinner for a neighbor who was a single parent and was unable to work due to an injury. The surprised look on their faces and their appreciation was unforgettable and no other Thanksgiving has made me feel more thankful than when I spent my energy, time, and resources to help this family have a great Thanksgiving.
My favorite memory is just family and good food, it has always been a time where everyone forgets any arguments or differences and is reminded how thankful we are for one another!
My favorite memory from thanksgiving is playing card games after dinner with the family 🙂
My one memory I will never forget is 4 years ago at the family's annual Thanksgiviing football game when my husbands wedding ring fell off......we spent hours with a metal detector and never found it

I would always cook and entertain for a very large family and added friends (up to 34 people). I loved it and miss it now. 90% of them are not with us anymore, so sad now.
I don't really have one favorite, but a culmination of them.. Thanksgiving at my husband's Grandparent's was always special. They are both gone now but the memories of them still bring my to tears because from the time they met me they folded my into their family and treated me like I was their own. And for me, lightening struck twice because his step grandparents treated us the same way when Hubby's moma remarried. Thankfully they are still with us and we'll have another meal to savor with them!
Just being together & not fighting... those were the days...
I had my daughter the day before Thanksgiving in 2008 and I remember taking her home on Thanksgiving and that was soooo memorable! I had so much to be thankful for! Shes our holiday baby! Her birthday always falls within a week of Thanksgiving!
kneeling on the couch, staring out the window, waiting to see my grandparents car pull up. And of course, all the years with the burnt rolls... 🙂
Thanksgiving at my Auntie Bay and Uncle Eds. This was every year for about 10 years of my life. Every year there was a great story to be told. But one in particular will always stand out. I will not go into great details but my aunt was well known for her rum cakes. But this particular time she kept running out of her rum for the cake and some extras ended up in each of the cakes. Need I say more. Boy do I miss my Auntie Bay.
My favorite Thanksgiving memory is from quite a long time ago. We were having dinner at my grandparents' house, and my brother went into the living room (where Grandpa put the pies to cool) to help him carry in the pies for dessert. He picked up the pumpkin pie, on its cooling rack, and proceeded toward the archway that would bring him to the dining room, and as he approached the door, the pie slid off of the rack and fell pie side down onto the floor. It didn't fall apart into a big mess, and we still ate it (Grandma was a neat freak when it came to her floors), but he ran and hid under a bed because he was so embarrassed, and still hasn't lived it down 20 years later.
My favorite Thanksgiving was a few years ago, when I was able to have all the family over.
The first year I prepared our Thanksgiving dinner. Everything turned out PERFECT! Every year since then nothing seems to turn out right 🙂 lol
We always went to my Grandmothers house and I remember always hearing my grandfathers laughter at the table and loving that sound. I really miss hearing that now that he's gone.
making my first and blowing it up
my favorite memory about thanksgiving is when all my family would get together and laugh and eat a great meal at my grandmothers. Not all family members are still with us and it just doesn't seem the same
