We go Southern here. My husband is the chef-thank goodness- on gala meals since the family is well aware Iām not a great cook, so they give me something within my powers, like setting the table.
He smokes a brisket, then boils shrimp and fried the ones that he and one of the kids have deveined and shelled.
We also have hash-brown potato casserole and fresh asparagus. We donāt invest in desserts since weāre both diabetic. No Sugar added Ice-Cream and Hersey Syrup(also no Sugar Added, is about as far as we go).

Hey, yāall - may I presume that my invitation to sup has simply been delayed by the ongoing mail/package-delivery snafus? 
Iām fairly certain that most all of us know that Iād travel to the ends of the earth in search of a Rutabaga (or mebbe even to find me some SpamĀ®) - but since youāre both apparently living on the same continent as me, Iād like to reiterate the phrase which MOST prominently appears, nowadaze, on most all of my various introductory cards:
Have Appetite, WILL Travel For Leftovers.

We have brisket, which is always better the 2nd and 3rd day, potato casserole and left over Kingās Hawaiian rolls!!!
Iāve just heard my daughter invited a family w/ p[icky-eater kids since she canāt imagine only 4 people sitting down to a holiday meal.
So weāll be adding chicken nuggets and mac & cheese; have been informed they wonāt eat asparagus( everyone loves our asparagus broiled in drizzled Olive Oil) so I guess Iāll toss a salad( w/ Ranch-everyone in the world must like it but me) or buy a green bean casserole at Honey Baked Ham.
I love having folks to dinner so @Dogtamer if you and your better-half are near Tucson, come and knock on our door. We eating outside on the patio since looks like weāre gonna have a buffet.

'Spect most of yāall know that Mankind doesnāt thrive on bread and water Rutabagas and SpamĀ® alone - ya gotta spice up the diet with some canned ersatz weiner schnitzel and gellified SpaghettiOsĀ®, garnished with spinach leaves, from time to timeā¦

Well, Iām not big on Holidays of ANY kind since it involves being with PEOPLE!
However, I am grateful for Thanksgiving because it will generally include some ham somewhere along the day.
At Christmas time I have to deal with LUTEFISK which is a NOT acquired taste but my wife actually enjoys it. I really wonder what trauma those Finlanders went through that caused such damage to their taste budsā¦

We had a good day, sat by the pool after eating, it was 70 degrees, making sure no sibling pushed another in the pool. Watched the kids running around, playing tag and an oldie but goodie(Red Rover) that Gran(thatās me) taught them. Next year, itās Freeze tag or if we can get them to sit and digest, pick-up-sticks or marbles. What do todayās kids do at recess-stare at their phones?
How do children have so much energy-of course, they didnāt gorge themselves and drink several glasses of Merlot as did some of us, ahem, oldsters.
Sorry if crappy weather interfered w/ anyoneās plans. Intern son in Denver, who must work tomorrow, said it was beautiful today.

We make all our traditional foods, which is WAY too much for just two oldsters. Weāll be eating leftovers the entire weekend. No cooking for 3 days? Love it!
