I just bought $140 worth of booze for our family Thanksgiving dinner.
I'm expecting a full belly and a pleasant buzz for the entire afternoon and evening on Thursday...

20. I don't mind the joke, MilesC, and know NOTHING about Snooki!
P.S., as to 'tradition,' as daughters and I are geographically separated, see eachother seldom, and I didn't make the turkey in the past(their father did,) I'm making my invented BEEF STEW for Thanksgiving, and MY GUACAMOLE will go with the Orangina!

13. I assuming that is all for you? Because that is the only way I could handle
my family for any length of time - double it for the in-laws.

This thanksgiving I am once again grateful we don't have children because we would be expected to visit relatives with kids in tow and trying to play nice.

16. Me, my son-in-law, and my daughter-in-law will do most of the drinking that day.
Nobody else does much drinking in the family.
