Being thankful for the hodgepodge

 

Talking turkey...are you cooking the turkey this year? Does ham belong on a Thanksgiving Day menu? When it comes to gravy do you pour it over your whole plate, skip it altogether, or land somewhere in between? Cranberries-homemade or jelled right out of the can? Do you look forward more to the main course, the savory sides, or the desserts? 

I know there are at least a couple of bloggers who participate here who live outside the US and won't be celebrating Thanksgiving. If that's you feel free to adapt this question to your December (or any) holiday meal.

Being an Aussie means we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, so for me I this question is about Christmas lunch. No I won’t be cooking the turkey my brother will be doing that, yes turkey is a part of many Aussie’s Christmas lunch. The gravy just goes over my turkey and cahicken. I have never tried cranberry sauce and for most who do have it, it comes in a jar. The best part of the meal is the baked potatoes and the Pavlova for dessert.

Holiday movies...tell us your favourite and what it is about the film that makes you love it. Is it the film itself or a memory it stirs? 

I have two favourite Christmas movies, The Santa Clause and The Polar Express, I don’t know why I like to watch them each year, but I do

A favourite way to give back and help others?

At the moment I am drawing a blank.

Name a place or setting you encountered this month that made you feel grateful. 

The grateful feeling, I had on my birthday

Knowing what you know today, if you could redo yesterday what would you do differently?
