In reply to the discussion: DU, what are your plans for Thanksgiving this year? [View all]Tanuki
(16,393 posts)59. It's supposed to be 71 degrees on Saturday here in Nashville, so my best friend since college and I
are planning to pick up curbside takeout from a restaurant we both like (driving in separate cars), eat outside, and call it Thanksgiving 2020. We can't really count on much more outside weather this time of year and didn't want to risk having it turn out to be chilly or rainy on the actual holiday, so we are just doing our best to find a safe and workable alternative. We will be just as thankful on Saturday. Even though I am not making or attending a traditional Thanksgiving dinner this year, I saw that frozen turkeys are just 49 cents a pound at Kroger if you buy $25 of other stuff. I am thinking about buying a big one one and thawing it out at a later date when I have time.

I will be marching in the war against Thanksgiving, since some RWNJ revealed our secret.

"Wanting" to be with her children and grandchildren is no excuse for taking such as risk.
