 Roasted turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, beans, peas & carrots, sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top, turnip, gelatin & regular salads, pickles, gravy, pumpkin pie, apple pie, cranberry sauce (both homemade & canned).

  People sit around chomping on mixed nuts, beer, and cider watching some football game before dinner, and fall asleep watching some football game after dinner.  Ya know, kinda like the American Thanksgiving.

Eeeow. That's gross.

  I'm having chicken, roast yam and some other boiled veggies on the side. Possibly pumpkin pie for dessert.

has anybody ever told themselves they aren't going to over eat but end up doing so anyway? I can't seem to not over eat when it comes to holidays.

   What is the purpose of having holiday dinners with all the trimmings if one doesn't over-eat?

then followed by the "oh gosh I'm so fat, I'm an embarrassment to the family" a day after.

Bah, if you're truly worried about over-eating at your friend's Thanksgiving dinner, eat a bowl of soup before you go.  Not a pot full of Chunky Soup, more like about 1-cup of clear beef or chicken or vegetable broth to fill your tummy up then you won't eat like two or three helpings.

   Oh that's nothing then.  We're supposed to eat like every 3 hours anyway.

Sportsdude

really? because every time I go back for seconds I always get the gosh you never stop eating from my obese cousins with fatty livers.

That's in the states, right? How come we have it early and the states in November? Is Thanksgiving like a US holiday more so than a Canadian?
