I love Thanksgiving. It was always the big holiday in my family. Everyone kind of went their separate ways at Christmas but Thanksgiving it was "be there or be square". I don't really get to have Thanksgiving with my fam since I moved away from Texas, but I can get a taste of it from certain dishes.
By the way, Thanksgiving makes me immediately think of several things:
Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
Macy's Parade (a must see in my world)
The beginning of A Christmas Story season (which maybe should have been my favorite movie for the movie challenge because I watch it roughly 1 trillion times a year and love it every time).

I may be alluding a little too heavily to my Southerness here, but it is NOT Thanksgiving for me without my Watergate salad. It might be a strange concoction (see recipe above- and by the way, the nuts MUST be pecans), but it is GOOD.
I feel that my sweater is a lovely representation of the colors of my dish- minty green, yellow for pineapples, the whiteness of Cool Whip. mmmmmmm......

Jillian's look:
mmmmm.....pumkin pie. Sort of the star of the Thanksgiving dessert world.
Kim's look:
Kim likes Turkey and Stuffing. Personified by the boyfriend sweater and jeans, it is a classic in fashion and on your Thanksgiving table.
I can't turn up my nose at anyone's weird-sounding salads. My family makes Cookie Salad for each holiday and my Mormon in-laws put veggies in their Jello. And it's all delicious. :)
