As a child we would usually travel to grandmas house, so of course those times are soaked in memories. But the funniest one I can remember was the year the turkey just wouldn't cook. That tender timer that we are told now to throw out, wouldn't pop for nothing. Grandma put it in the oven in the morning like usual. Everyone showed up for dinner and the turkey wasn't even brown. One of my older cousins was an electrician, so my Aunt got him involved, checking everything that could be wrong. He checked the fuse box (grandma's house had a fuse box!) Everything checked out to be fine.
Everything else was ready to eat and it was getting late in the day. We ate....just not turkey. Around 10:00 that night someone noticed that grandma had forgotten to turn on the oven. Grandma felt silly and everyone had a really great laugh.
