I have to see the Herding Group because I love them, especially the two in my house.

as she is in with the Poodles.

They are a lovely breed! I'll give them a vote!

breed, Thank you get the red out.

You didn't dare try to pet it because it would snarl and snap at you, why they kept it, I don't know...

I have 4 dogs in my life---a Siberian Huskey/Shiba Inu mix, a regular Shiba Inu who did not bark but let out a Howl. and two German Spitz which are know as American Eskimo in the US .thank you my friend and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

kitchen to clean. That was long time ago

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Best dinner of the year plus football. How can you go wrong?

I hope that you and yours have a delightful one, too.

My sisters usually stay for a few games. Losing team does the dishes.

After everyone goes home and I finish the clean up, I drink the rest of the wine. I figure I've earned it. I generally sleep well that night.

Not anymore but... I used to do the Friendsgiving thing and we always did the basic clean up together and then the games would come out. Mostly silly word games. So much fun and so much laughing!!

Mr YD and I do not like football, so we usually come home.

For years, we took our daughter to the movies instead of putting up with the game, usually to see the new Disney release. Her birthday is Nov 29th so after the movie we went back to her grandparents' house and had birthday cake and leftovers. It was her 'family' birthday party as opposed to whatever we did on her actual birthday. It saved trying to get the whole family together again between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Every year it can be different. Some years a bunch of us will go to the upstairs game room and watch something else on tv. Our crowd is going to be bigger this year, so who knows? Maybe someone will gin up a game of Loteria!
I think I will take our Chickenfoot Dominoes - even kids who can't read can play that.

When I was growing up, our extended families did not have a big Thanksgiving get together every year. If my mom's brother and step brothers were going to be in town, my mom's side of the family would have a huge dinner. We did not watch football; after kitchen cleanup, there would be a lot of sitting around the table talking over coffee and dessert.

Christmas was the biggie get together for my Dad's family usually the Sunday after Christmas. Back then it wasn't wall to wall football so we had a great time just being together and eating everyone's special dish(es).

After some of the diehard parade fans get home…Then Football and eats till about 7-8 pm…cleanup in the am.

Sometimes, not often there’s a Hockey game on the day. Bonus!

Our family is very sports oriented. Before tv football we played our own games but we all got a little older.

🦃, gobble,gobble

My husband and I are going out to eat, so when we come home, we'll change into more comfortable clothing, park ourselves on the couch, and watch the game(s)!
