Thanksgiving was a BIIIIG deal when I was growing up. There was a ton of cooking and cleaning, homemade cornbread dressing to fix, the good tablecloth had to be ironed, all the silver serving dishes had to be polished! I remember the huge deal made over the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade on TV (which was black and white), and watching it went hand in hand with the smell of all the delicious food cooking. We had a relish tray of pickles, spiced apple rings and olives to nibble on while we watched and waited. And there had to be at least 3 different kinds of pie for dessert! We might even be playing host to relatives for the day--a plus, since grandmothers always let you have seconds of pie!
mostly to people who comment on how seldom they see stuff for Thanksgiving at craft fairs.
Soooo, I will clear all the Christmas sale stuff off the table, polish the silver serving dishes, tart up the stovetop cornbread stuffing with some sauteed green onions and celery, and try not to make anyone sick with the turkey. Thank heavens for a turkey roaster that accepts frozen turkeys, since I will probably remember too late to take it out of the freezer. Now I get to be the grandmother that allows seconds on dessert. And then, back to last-minute Christmas ornaments for upcoming sales.
