Annual Orphan's Thanksgiving!
Hey all!
Every year I hold an Orphan's Thanksgiving; in the beginning, when I really was an orphan, it was so I'd have someone to do Thanksgiving with. Over time I've accumulated some family, and some close friends I think of as family. So it's less Orphans lately, but the idea is still the same. Friends and acquaintances who can't or won't go home are welcome to attend.
As usual it's pseudo potluck, which is to say I've got the turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, corn and pies covered; all other items are brought by guests. (There's usually a green bean casserole and a cranberry sauce and then other items vary on whims).
We usually eat around 2 or 3, but people are welcome to show up at any point in the day to be social, watch football, play with the kids. Speaking of playing with the kids this year I think I might push to have a couple of simple boardgames going because C will play them endlessly, but that's really up to whomever is willing to play.
