Thanksgiving

My thanksgiving is at least 30 people together in my grandma's small house in Louisville, spread out between three to four tables. There's the adult table, the big kids table(s), and the little kid table. No matter how old we get, we are forever stuck in our eating positions because there are just way too many of us. Each family brings something, turkey, potatoes, stuffing, etc. We especially love my mom's corn pudding... Anyways, it's like a potluck dinner complete with paper plates and plastic cups. Half the time the kids all watch football during the meal which really isn't a dinner since it starts around 1 or 2:00.
Thanksgiving with the Duffy's isn't a formal affair. It's just a bunch of people enjoying large amounts of food together and I can't imagine it any other way. My favorite Thanksgiving memories are my dad asking my uncle to throw him a roll and my uncle not even hesitating and throwing said roll like a baseball.... Our tradition of saying what you're thankful for that started when my uncle used to record all of our family get togethers, and just the people and food in general. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, seconded only by Christmas.
