Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Texans and just curious...?

Which have always been a part of your own family ThanksGiving Day traditions and table? No way in the world I can cover them all in this poll of mine.

So share in the realm of "lots of others" And you can vote on more than one!

God Bless and Thanks!

Default Tradition

In the parlance of family tradition, it has always been about the table. Everything that's on the table, and those gathered around the table. In this day and age, not all of my family will be with me, but I will be meeting with my mother and a friend of mine (my brother and his wife and daughter are in Fort Worth, but they'll be elsewhere, and my father is deceased) and there will still be fellowship, blessings, and delicious food. What a privilege and a blessing every waking moment for me to have a place to go to when it comes time to be together.

But there will always be the table.

Sorry that you were sick for Thanksgiving...I am sure that your dogs
were thankful that you were there with them...you should join a church
so that you can find fellowship for your holidays....get well...
