Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada

Turkey Day
Hi LULUDOU, & all you Canadian Girls Up there, Just want to wish you All a Very Happy Thanksgiving. Just realized it the other day, looking at the Calendar. I went Food Shopping the Other day & seen small Butterballs on sale, & asked Hubby if he wanted to get it now, and he said no, wait. It makes me yearn for Our Turkey day, it's about 6 weeks away, who's cooking, & who's going to Grandma's? That's when you know that Christmas is on it's way. I love to Watch the Parade, while the turkey's in the oven, & nibble on snacks in the Meantime, Don't you? The next day I take my Fall Decorations Down & get out the Christmas Stuff. Happy Turkey Day to All, Enjoy!

Happy thanksgiving! We don't really celebrate it here except for having a 3-day weekend (so no extra work - ouf! with Halloween around the corner I don't know how I'd do it)
Turkey is in the oven and smelling wonderful! Have the deviled eggs done, the pie is chilling in the fridge and have the stuff for stuffing on the counter ready to cook soon. Will be peeling the potatoes here shortly. 
Gotta love the aroma of turkey filling the house!

Thank you to everyone for their wishes.
Dinner was wonderful. I prepared it all myself. The only cheat I used was store-bought mashed potatoes. The turkey was fabulous. I cooked it breast side down. The dressing turned out well too. I used a can of organic pumpkin to make the pie with and it was divine, not because it was organic I'm sure, it just had a nice mellow taste. Followed all that food with pumpkin spice coffee and liqueurs.
Today, after church we all went out for brunch. Then I crashed on the couch for awhile with a book.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I will keep the fall decorations up and add a touch of Halloween in a week or so. I'm already thinking about Christmas.
