hiponyfarm-sounds like a wonderful day. I have hosted Thanksgiving for years, I have 8 siblings,so at times we have had 40 people. I don't think they realize how much work is involved.I scaled back 2 years ago, just don't want to do it any longer. This year just our son, and a friend of his, my youngest brother and his family, my 85 yr old dad. For me the best part of Thanksgiving is a turkey sandwich about 8 pm, has to be on cheap white bread with butter. having our son home is also at top of list.
