Thanksgiving....Zoom meetings?


What will you do this Thanksgiving?

In the past I can remember the times that we had huge southern cooking dinners on Thanksgiving Day. We would rotate the cooking duties between myself, my mother and my grandmother, I had Thanksgiving my grandmother had Christmas and my mother had New . I remember cooking a lot of food and my relatives would come from near and far celebrate the holiday. I would be tired from all of the cooking and cleaning. When it was over I would be so happy have seen my relatives.

This Thanksgiving is going be different because of the plague and the fact that my Grandmother and my mother have passed away. I have adjusted their deaths but this virus is something new . I am on lockdown and I leave my home only go the grocery store .

Well my called and said she is going arrange a Zoom Meeting for all of the family on Thanksgiving day from her house .It's a new idea and I like it as I will not have do a lot of cooking. I will be in my home and will only be cooking for myself.

How will you celebrate Thanksgiving this year?

My son and I usually have our celebration at the Chinese Restaurant but we are not doing that this year. Health and well being are the priority

Ruby Tuesday's will be hosting our lunner (lunch/dinner, sometime after 2 or 3, whenever we get there). I am cooking, means, I am paying so I don't have to cook.

They host our Thanksgiving meal every year. We come home and have a dessert.

Hello Abelle......That is a great idea and you able to enjoy your family and have a great meal. When things get back to normal I am going to find a nice restaurant and start going out to dinner on Holidays too.

I do miss the food and the good times we had at my Grandmothers in Gordon though. I wish you and that nice husband of yours a fun and safe Thanksgiving,

Hello Robyn.........It is good that you and your son are well and can talk to each other while in lockdown. I am on lockdown and live by myself now that can be real dicey sometime...lol. I am thankful though that I am in good health. I will be glad when the lockdown is no longer needed though.

Nice to see you, Brightsmile!
It is a nice custom to get together as a family to give thanks to God for all the blessings received during the year.
It is a pity that this festival is not celebrated in our country.
Personally, I thank God on the last day of the year, making a count of all the blessings I have received.

Enjoy it, even for Zoom!

If the roofer comes tomorrow, I'll celebrate Thanksgiving with my inherited family and some days after. If he comes on Friday, I'll celebrate with fruit and salad and apple pie and feel good that I did not "gain" a pound or two.

Hello Glumo nice to see you too. It is nice to give thanks to God anytime. You are right zoom does make it a bit better during this plague.

My family lives overseas, so I did what I usually do, call them by phone. The only time I use Zoom is for work related meetings! Merry Christmas! .
