Everyone is invited to my house for Thanksgiving dinner this year.
I guess that means I will have to sweep the floors or something. Heh.
Actually, my family is scattered to the four winds, so I invited some other families instead. If my own folks won't eat my food, I bet some near-strangers will.
I'm not good cook, or a gifted hostess, or a ferocious hospitality offer-er.
I'm sure I will get a bit frazzled, even though this was my idea.
But If I want a big family gathering and my family is out-of-town, what's a girl to-do?
Your going to help me put this together, aren't you? Right? Please? Offer your good ideas? Special food? Tell me how to make sweet potatoes in a way that everybody will eat them?
You all will have to help me pick out an apron to wear.

May I suggest having Thanksgiving at Golden Corral? :)
No matter how you decorate, or what you cook, I'm sure you will bring joy into your guests hearts...just for taking the time to share with them. Thanks for popping by my blog. I hope to return here often.

Thanks for inviting us for Thanksgiving! If I lived close by, I'd love to come! I have never hosted Thanksgiving dinner myself, so I don't know that I have any great advice except - keep it simple! Your guests are going to be pleased to be there, the food is secondary. Enjoy your day! Twyla
I love hosting thanksgiving! We are going at it souper small though, this year. I'm a tad bit sad, but that's ok...
How can I help? I'd love to!
Make a list of things to do. I have a very large family and 20 to 25 people for dinner is often the norm. So by starting with decorating, setting tables, getting shopping done, I make sure to take it easy until the day I start to cook. Then it's best that I am left alone to twirl around pots and pans.
Have fun!
It's a cold, dreary Autumn morning here in Western New York. What better way is there to brighten it up a bit than to surf the Web and find wonderful blogs like yours? What a great idea. Unfortunately, my dear, there is no way to fix sweet potatoes so everyone will eat them. You either like them or you don't. Kinda like eggplant...ewwww....
I love the table settings! And my mom made an awesome cranberry dish last year. I'll ask if she still ask the recipe.
