Thanksgiving visitors? Ready to kick them out

Who's already have had enough of family and company and would like them to leave already. I know I am.

Nope. They are entertaining my kids, and I don't get visitors often so I thoroughly enjoy them. :D

Thanksgiving?....company?........LOL....I am back at work already....even worked a half day yesterday ;).....Christmas is getting close!

I only had visitors for about 2 hrs yesterday and it was my sister and brother-in-law who I enjoy very much.

The whole family went out to eat for the first time ever ( the whole family and eating out ) and we made a decision that going out is the way to go :)

I have off today and a whole day of NHL hockey on Center Ice then out to a Capitals game tonight and then off to drinks w/ some friends. Woo Hoo!!

I dunno. My t-day was weird.

Point well taken, thanks for the insight.
And w/ say my mom and dad I am thankful they are alive and kicking. My mom is 79 and my dad is 72.

Naw, it was just a REALLY small gathering. Didn't really seem or feel like t-day.

This is the first Thanksgiving that I haven't been able to go to my parents. I called and the phone got passed around for an hour while everyone asked me how WA was then I went to the ship to eat dinner with my husband before he had to go back to work then we came home and went to bed.
All the navy had was white meat turkey and I didn't even get any punkin pie :(

This t-day was very off, I'm half afraid to think of how christmas will be. I'm used to running around like crazy to get to both sides of the family.

I use to love everything about the holidays, but being a meat manager in a very busy grocery store tends to alter your outlook on turkeyday.. i'm glad its over.

I like family gatherings, I just hate traveling for them. Rick and I have spent the majority of Thanksgivings and Christmases just together at home - and I really enjoy that. Get up when you want, wear grungey clothes, play video games, make a ton of food that we then eat on for a week, call family on the phone...=)

I completely agree with you! I am 15 hours from my family, and don't get to see them nearly as much as I'd like. I even have a new nephew I haven't gotten to hold yet. :(

I am very thankful my brother and sister in law were able to visit!! :D Even if he is a brother and enjoying driving me nuts. :rolleyes:

I didn't get to spend Thanksgiving with family either, just Karl and I. Now he's at work until 11 pm, and I'm bored to tears. I wish I had family visiting me!

This year thanksgiving included the usual group from my dad's side of the family (his brother, his brother's wife, his brother's son, and his brother's son's son) and it also included some people from my stepmother's side of the family. My stepmother did thanksgiving this year, and she said it was time family met family. :D I would have liked to spend more time with my parents, but I had to be back up here for a doctor's apt this morning.

Kelly's dad had us over. My family lives so far away. Haven't got down there for Thanksgiving in over 10 yrs. Only make it south about once or twice a year. Hearing the noise of her family gathering brought back many happy memories.:D

We went to my sister and brother in law's; my little niece screamed a lot; we drank wine and talked politics with mostly like-minded people (always better than an argument..) Some of my BIL's family was there; my grandparents too.. My divorced parents were both there but didn't bicker or fight; things went well. Although my digestive tract is kickin' it to me right now for all the odd combos of food (chocolate cake AND cauliflower...?)

This is the first time ever we've had Thanksgiving at home, just the 5 of us. No friends, no external family. Kinda weird. More turkey for me!!!

Can I kick the kids out?? They were rather annoying!!!
