Whats your Thanksgiving Dinner like?

I'm just curious what other peoples Thanksgiving traditions/Menus are. At my house, my parents (who are long divorced) come over along with a gaggle of family and friends and its usually quite a riot.

My Father who is a diabetic and cant have sweets usually gets into the sweets and my Mother yells...'Bob, I'm not takin you to the ER tonight, I wanna beat the traffic outta the city- stay out those damn sweets before you go into a diabetic coma' As if they're still married.

My 40 yr. old Brother who I see like once a year shows up with about 10 plastic chinese soup bowls to feed himself leftovers for the next week and usually my Ex (father of my 2 boys) and his new fiancee (who by the way stutters) comes and I somehow always end up with her on my team when we play Scruples or Scene It after dinner....thats okay, I didnt want to win this game anyway.

Then my current Husbands Ex (Mother of his 2 daughters) comes with her boyfriend who; last year came in and immediately ran back out the house searching frantically because 'oops, He thought he dropped a bag of weed'

We finally sit down to Fried Turkey, Praline topped Sweet Potatoes, Corn Casserole, Turnips, Stuffing, Ham, Rice and Beans cause I'm a big Rican and according to my Mother...'Ay you cant have any meal without rice and beans' roasted root veggies and Chocolate Kalua cake, and sweet potato pie. Oh and because my Ex's new fiancee doesent want to feel left out....franks and beans....yummm!!!

Its like the Cosby's except everyone needs psych meds.

Maybe this year, I'll have the Dr write me a RX.

Okay...whats yours and be honest!
