DGN THANKSGIVING (unofficial)

[the eternal]

So, bean and I were planning in sitting at home with a $.48 Banquet Turkey Pot Pie on Thanksgiving, and then I thought---

DGN THANKSGIVING!

We could do a potluck, where each person brings something.

Or if you can't bring something, yourself.

Or if you can't bring yourself, have someone else do it.

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK???

Anyone else alone on Thanksgiving?

Want to get together?

Maybe find a Thanksgiving horror movie or some other flick to watch?

We'll get a turkey--you'd get the rest.

AWESOME idea

I offer up a 20lb turkey

[Msterbeau]

I usually do a Thanksgiving orphan's night at my place. Hmmmm...

[Nienna]

I'm not alone for the holiday, but I have a feeling that I'll want people who aren't my family after the "Fam Experience". Will make it if I can!

[Brenda Starrr]

Maaaaaaaybe.

I don't think we're up to much this year.

[Eevee]

Aww...I got totally excited when I saw this!

But, I'm normally at my grandma's on Thanksgiving.

[darknight1]

Well, judging by how fucked up things are with my family, it doesn't look like I'll be home for either Christmas or Thanksgiving sooo...yeah.

[Lillylu29]

That would be cool... can we bring the children? its just me and the kids we can bring whatever cause even thoe its just us i make everything lol....

[StormKnight (1)]

Someone tell me location, and what needs to be brought. Unlike many of my past holidays, I will not be working for either Thanksgiving or Christmas. So instead of working to give family people the day off, I am going to be an orphan this year.

I can bake, and do some cooking.

[wildcat0303]

ill be out of town

[GothicRavenGoddess (3)]

if i land the job that i just got interviewed at, or some other, i don't know if i can make it, but in the event that i can, I'd love to come, and I'll offer gas money to someone to come get me, along with something yummy... I'll know more, the closer it gets. I'm hoping to make something like my mom's broccoli casserole (which is the best damn thing I've ever eaten ever. lol) so, i if i can make it, that's what I'll bring. I'll keep you all posted....

This was an awesome idea!

It would be at our house. Pm either me or the eternal for the location/address

Once it gets closer, we will figure out who is bringing what and what needs to be brought.

As a side note, our house is small, so I hope everyone doesn't mind being crammed together.

I think kids will be fine. I'll double check with the eternal.

[phee]

I will be working....

[TheOsakaKoneko]

This sounds like fun. I presume the party will still be going after us non-orphans are well done with the family celebrationings? XD I'd love to stop by later in the evening. I will be a stuffed goose by that point but I'd be happy to bring something tasty or at the very least a couple bottles of wine to contribute to everyone else's overfilling of themselves. XD

What city is this lovely home in?

[Raev]

I spend every holiday alone...so I just may participate

[prick]

Damn it this sounds fun! I think Im doing the juggle from my girlfriends family and then to mine that day tho so I just cant do it.

[Eevee]

I may actually try to come by but it'll be later in the evening.

[jynxxxedangel]

Sounds tempting.

[AstralCrux]

Depends on how late it goes... I work the normal holidays, so I can have mine off. I can make some dessert sushi.

[jynxxxedangel]

P.S. I'm doing a trial run of a Thanksgiving dinner tonight, if anyone's in my area, and wants to drop in...just because I wanted a turkey dinner.

The boneless turkey breast roast is just about to come out of the oven. Mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, veggie medley, cranberry sauce, and Cheddar Bay biscuits.

Sweet...I'm touching heinies.

[Ivy_Cat]

wow.. this sounds cool.. family situation is kinda messed up.. so we were going to sit home with the kids .. but if we can bring the kids we will go too.. and i will bring food.. i make really good potato salad!

[the eternal]

THIS IS SERIOUS

Ok, I got your attention.

This IS going to happen.

Kids are great!

Although I have ano screeching rule

Two screeches

and they eat outside

For all the people coming, BRING FOOD!

We are supplying a 20 lb turkey and Mashed Potatoes.

(Although we need a good carver)

You bring the rest.

I will PM people bean and my address the week of.

BYOW. (Bring your own wine--let's have some class for T'giving)

---------------------------------------------------------

FANGSGIVING--PART DEUX--The child-free edition

AFTER the families leave---

ANYONE that wants to come here to unwind after putting up with

their own f&^%ed up families, post here.

If there's enough interest, We'll do a post-T'giving party after the kids leave.

We can bitch about our families, gossip about all the DGNers we don't like

(It's happened at every other get-together--why not this one??

AND watch a good movie starring people more sane than our families

BRING YOUR GOOD LEFTOVERS! (and of course BYOB)

This will be a drama-free zone ALL NIGHT!

That's the whole point.

There's the family you're stuck with and the family you choose.

PS I feel silly posting this on a goth board, but we have a cat.

If you're allergic, don't come. I don't say that to be a dick, but if we put her in a room all night, she would claw though the door. She's sweet, but when she's away from her humans, she gets terrified.

If we close the door for a minute, it sounds like ten rats are trying to make their way in, and that's no fun to listen to while eating turkey.
