My favorite memory of Thanksgiving was when we all gathered at Uncle Charlies’ house.

My favorite Thanksgiving memory was in 1998. It was our first Thanksgiving in our first house that we bought. We only had one child at the time and she was 5. I made dinner. My daughter put olives on her fingers and pretended she was a tree frog & had her first Thanksgiving “wine” (sparkling red grape juice). After we ate, while I put away the leftovers, my daughter & husband put up the Christmas tree and then we turned off all the lights & laid down under the tree to look at the colorful lights. It was the start of a wonderful Thanksgiving tradition!!
As a child getting up to watch the parade, then waiting…waiting…waiting for dinner to finally be served!

My most favorite one was when I was young and at my grandmother’s house and the whole family was there together having fun & loving one another. As an adult is when I was in the first house I ever bought with my kids. I was a single mother with 4 kids & we did it together and I asked them what they had to be thankful for. You can guess what they said and you’d be right. Me. tears flowed.

all of us together family and of course the desserts
When we were younger, all our Aunts, Uncles and cousins would get together on Thanksgiving. There were so many people that we’d eat in shifts. I loved that there were so many people around.
One of my best memories of Thanksgiving was one of my first ones. About 1960 (yes, people lived in houses then! We even had electricity and indoor plumbing!), we moved into a new house-which is still in the family. It being Thanksgiving Day, the only thing open in our area was a Royal Castle (kind of a White Castle knock off in South Florida). I still remember walking across the lawn for the first time…
Going to grams house every year
just spending time with family always 🙂
I love getting together each year with my family and all our families at mom and dads house. Each year is more precious since they are in their 80’s and in poor health so each maybe our last.

My favorite memory of Thanksgiving is the year my son was DX with leukemia. it was november of 2006 and he was DX in September. We really didn’t think we would do much considering his condition.

It truly brought out the real meaning of Thanksgiving!!!

My favorite memory was when I was 12 and old enough to get really involved in helping to prepare the meal. It was the BEST thing EVER!!! I LOVE to cook so it was really cool then 2 years ago I made the whole meal myself with a few touches that I decided to add and it went over big! I love making people happy!

My favorite memories are having Thanksgiving dinner at my Mom’s house with all the family. My Dad would say a prayer before we sat down to dinner and a prayer before we all left to keep us all safe until we could be together again.

I don’t have any certain memories either. Each year is different because it’s always a wonderful time of family getting together.
Probably my favorite memory is the first time one of my kids had pumpkin pie with whip cream at my parents house–they loved it. This is my first holiday season without my beloved Mom…I’m sure many memories will come flooding back.

Favorite memory was with all my brothers and sister at my Mom and Dad’s House

Besides the family getting together and all the food, my birthday is the end of November. Many Thanksgivings we also celebrated it so one of the desserts was always a birthday cake.
I always loved having Thanksgiving at my grandparent’s home when I was young. My grandma was the best cook and everything was homemade. All the family would come and we would get the chance to visit with our cousins that we didn’t see often. Fun times!
I remember the year I graduated from the kid’s table to the grown up table.
Watching Detroit Lions football and eating dinner with my Grandpa. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday for that specific reason!

Getting to take a bag of Great-Gran’s homemade donuts back to my college dorm with me. Gran never let anyone take leftovers of baked goods home, she always froze them for herself for later on in the year. But my first year of college she told me and my family to hang around a little longer after everyone else left and handed us each a bag.
Making fun of each other and laughing, we are real ribpokers in my family.
My family would love this, most of the time is spent in the kitchen doing alot of cooking…This would take a lot of the work out making dinner and allow more family time.

We would invite people over (out of our friends and co-workers) who didn’t have anyone to share it with and have them eat Thanksgiving dinner with us. We would have a house FULL!!!!!
My favorite Thanksgiving memory is the first Thanksgiving I was allowed to help make the food. It was fun to work together with my older cousins to make Thanksgiving dinner.
the time i get with my family
My favorite memory is getting together at Grandma’s house when I was growing up and watching all the “guys” crossing the street to play football on the church yard. That was when I was quite a bit younger – now we either go out to eat or meet at one of my aunts houses for the holidays since Grandma is in her 80’s now and sick with Cancer. This will probably be one of our last Christmases together with her – so keep it in your prayers that she can come. =D

My favorite Thanksgiving memory is gathering with the whole family at my Grandma and Grandpa’s, playing outside with my cousins, and eating lots of Grandma’s yummy food!

Having Thanksgiving Day dinner with my extended family at my Grandparents home each year.
before the older members passed on… and the younger members got along… I remember big huge family thanksgivings… was nothing quite like them
My favorite Thanksgiving memory is my sister commenting on the stuffing on year. My dad was trying to convince her it wasn’t bad and finally she asked how anyone could eat something that came out of a turkey’s back end.. they made her eat it and she has liked stuffing since! The other was last year, I was making some pies and my family was watching a football game. All of a sudden my Uncle (who is stationed overseas) came walking around the corner! I was so happy to see him!
My favorite Thanksgiving memory was a few years ago when my daughter had her first table food (mashed potatoes). The look on her face was priceless.
My favorite memory is my daughters first thanksgiving. It was my first thanksgiving as a mother

My favorite memories are from before my Grandpa passed away, when our family would all gather together to enjoy the day. It seems he was the glue that held us all together though.
The best memory is all the food family and drama every year. I wouldn’t trade it for nothing!
Having everyone including extended family together makes me thankful every year.
Always going to my Aunt’s house! She is now passed away due to cancer at a yopung are. I didnt see her much , thats why it was so special to me.

My favorite memory was helping my mom, grandmother and great-grandmother prepare the meal and desserts.
Spending Thanksgiving at my grandma’s house. Our family is so big and it amazes me how she would always have plenty of food and everyone always had a wonderful time. I miss those days!
Having the whole family together and playing games and laughing
My favorite thing from Thanksgiving is spending time with the family and after eating and getting way too full. We all get together to play games as a family.
My favorite memory is my whole family getting together at my Grandparents house when they were still alive!
I come from a very big family and I remember when we used to all get together for Thanksgiving. Now it seems everyone has their own dinner with their immediate families.
All the family sitting around my grand mothers dining room table.
I remember the Thanksgiving my grandparents took me into the city to see the parade….it was so much fin.
The year my sister accidentally sat on the pumpkin pie!
We always spent Thanksgiving with my aunt and my grandparents and it was always such good food.

waiting at the window waiting for my mom mom, wish i could go back to that
Having Thanksgiving with Mom and Dad and all of my sisters and their families! So much food, fun and happy memories!
Thank You!
I was upset because my daughter would never know the huge thanksgivings I had as a child. My aunt came up and we spent the evening before preparing food and were dancing in the kitchen and I realized it was not the number of guests. It was the good times spent during the holidays.
Having a great meal with my parents when they were alive was awesome.
Our first Thanksgiving at our new home. It was such a relief to be together as a family surround by some new friends.

My favorite memory of Thanksgiving was my daughter’s first Thanksgiving, her little belly was so full afterwards.
Has to be when I was young and my grandfather was still alive. Everyone in our huge family always gathered at my grandparents home.
my favorite turkey day memory is having happy times with my late parents
Being with my family! Now I live very far from them and I really miss them! It’s hard!
My favorite memories of Thanksgiving are being in the kitchen with my mom fixing dinner. We would put the turkey in the night before. Then in the morning, we’d get up and take it out of the oven, cover the whole thing with about 10 towels so that it stayed hot. The house already smelled great from the turkey baking all night. Then we’d get started on the stuffing, pies, sweet potatoes, and all the rest of the meal.
After dinner we would run to the store and buy ribbon candy and mountain dew for my Grandpa. I LOVED it.
my mommy and I use to make pies and cookies together 🙂
my favorite memorable time about thanksgiving is when my children and i cooked our first turkey and it turned out great.
The last Thanksgiving that my grandmother was with us had to be the best ever. She was so happy to see everyone come over and we were all having fun and laughing. Miss you so much grams!!!! Heaven is lucky to have you.
In the kitchen with Mom cooking a humongous meal for the family and talking about everything, sharing recipes and things about the kids, talking 90 miles an hour and never having enough time to share everything we had to share. (I miss you Mom!!) 🙂
Spending time with love ones, some who the lord has already called home. Others that are new additions to the family and hopefully many many more great memories to come.
Thank you very much to all the Pay It Forward crew for allowing us to try for this! You are awesome!
My favorite memory is making dressing at my grandmas house, and watching how she knew just the right amount of everything to put in it without measuring anything, and having it always turn out perfect!
When all my family used to get together for thanksgiving, it would be such a crowd we had to make tables for everyone to have a seat, it was always great.
Going to my grandmother’s when I was young. Her home always smelled amazing and she made the best pumpkin pie!
My favorite Thanksgiving memory is Grandma’s house when I was a kid.
My favorite memory is we always worked together, it was one of the few times my siblings and I didnt fight well until it was time to do dishes… lol
My kids face when we deep fried the turkey one year
Having my family together is always priceless
getting together with the family
My favorite memory is of my being together with all of my family at my grandmother’s house in Maine when I was a little girl. She had a wood burning stove and for some reason all the food which came from it tasted so good and so full of love,

It probably was the time we went to my Brother’s house for Thanksgiving dinner and his wife cooked the turkey with the giblet bag still in it. lol

My Favorite memory is anytime I get to spend Thanksgiving with my family.
My favorite memory is when I was a kid, thanksgiving night we would put our blankets on the floor and watch King Kong on tv and my mom would make us turkey sandwiches. A favorite memory of mine

Thanks for the giveaway… favorite memory was watching my Mom & Grandmother cooking in the kitchen.
When I was a kid we always had to go visit relatives that we seldom ever I saw. It was always awkward and I dreaded it. Now we always have Thanksgiving at home with no company so my kids won’t have to deal with it. They may not realize it now, but they will thank me someday.
Family get togethers.
