We'll be going to Randys place this year. He cooks an awesome turkey, way better than I can fix. I know he'll have stuffing and mashed potatoes, who knowes what else. I did buy the turkey today because I found an awesome deal on turkeys at Walmart. I will probably make deviled eggs and that will be about it. I am hoping that he makes this awesome two layer pumpkin pie again, that is one of my favorite pies.

It will be just us for the afternoon (as our family is like 1600 mi away) and then I'll be by myself and am going to friends for dinner. I haven't quite decided what I'll take but for the two of us I make a whole spread w/ turkey and most the fixins.  We love the 2 hour turkey so that will be be making an appearance.

I believe I will be hosting this year... turkey breast w/dressing, smashed potatoes, hot rolls, mac & cheese, and some kind of green veggies. A pie... apple or pumpkin, not sure yet. It will just be myself, the husband, my Mom and her sister (both are widows now), and, my sister and her husband. There may be a few others that stop by, not sure yet. I have all kinds of nephews, but, they all have a home and women...lol, not sure if they will be searching out dinner or not.

There was no option for undecided. It depends on whose house they decide to do it at this year... there is one house wanting to host it and I would rather not be in their home so we don't know if we will be guests or do it alone yet.

I'm not sure what we're doing yet. I'm hoping my sister is cooking, but really we will probably just stay home and have a regular day.

I host but since family is far away is just me, DH and our 3 boys, one of our friends, and a few stray employees and stragglers (people who have no where else to go).
I am making 2 turkeys, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, greenbean casserolle, creamed corn, cranberry sauce, glazed baby carrotts, acorn squash, homemade macncheese, salad, pumpkin bread, assorted types of rolls.
Dessert-assorted pies 3 apple, key lime, cherry, and pumpkin. I will also do at least one cheese cake, and a texas sheet cake.
There will probably be about 10 of us when it is said and done and leftovers for days. LOL

It depends on my Mom. She wants to go to her Mothers in Alabama if she is up to the drive I will make my Brother go with us. My Cousin Kelly & his wife usually are the host since they have the largest house. We usually have 30 to 40 of us all there - all my Grandmothers kids, Grandkids, Great Grandkids and the 2 Great Great Grandkids. Needless to say lots of us and lots of good food and catching up.

I am a guest and I am bringing a salad. I think the hosts figure a salad is pretty easy and I cant screw that up! LOL

I will be cooking at mama's house for DH, our kids, pa and my grandma. I imagine it will be pretty solemn since mama died on black friday last year. This will be the first time grandma has been in the house since she died. My baby bro his wife ad boy will be down for Christmas and we will be doing Christmas dinner at mama's then too but SIL will be here to help in the kitchen.
