Ewwww. (g) Happy Thanksgiving! Just got back from mine, which we had at noon much to my bemusement. Was lovely. My dad's current girlfriend is a great improvement on his last one, and her family is very sweet. ^,^ My dad made his killer cranberry brisket, which of course went over well, and I got to take some home. And pie. :D (will wait for Sirius in other thread)
