BillsCuse Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 My parents are hosting my siblings, a few cousins, aunts and uncles, etc. The main table is in the dining room, while the "kids" table is in the living room like 10 feet away. The living room has a TV in it, so even though I'll be 40 in a couple months....I told my Mom I'm sitting at the kids table this year. And I wasn't joking lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Our family is more "up in the air" with respect to Thanksgiving than we have ever been. My daughter gave birth to her first yesterday. My mother-in-law went in the hospital yesterday. We don't have much room to host and we don't know yet who will come. The only thing we do know is dinner would happen at 1 or 2 PM, if it happens and the TV will be on when the Bills are playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 We'll be done eating by 4. I told my fiancé's non-sports family they're welcome to stay past 4:30 but that the Bills are not casual entertainment. Be absorbed or go home. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys don't keep a handgun in a kitchen drawer for Thanksgiving? That's like the most necessary tool for Turkey Day, after a brulee torch. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) We are hosting dinner for a San Diego Billsbackers Ex club president needless to say the game WILL be watched in real time with seafood and Cheese and crackers appetizers to hold us over and smoked turkey with trimmings feast after the game. One daughter at home son in Brooklyn so dinner for 4 enough leftovers for an army to come. Very low stress just how I like it unless the game gets hairy I’m hoping for a blowout haha. I wish you a very happy thanksgiving. GO BILLS!!! Edited November 25, 2019 by Margarita 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 My wife will be pissed at me, more so than she already is for planning this trip, when I set foot on a plane bound for Dallas Wednesday. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may may be able to sneak some viewing on my phone or iPad while doing dishes, which is a win-win. I get to watch the game while avoiding my in-laws, and I don’t mind doing dishes. Take charge, dude Family was planning to eat around 4:00 as usual (40 people), but I informed them that that wouldn't work this year because of the Bills game. We're eating at 1:00 with plenty of time before the game so both events can be (potentially) enjoyed. Two of my brothers, who are casual Bills fans, will be there. No one else will care in the slightest, so it might get annoying and I might have to drive home at halftime or something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZBILLS Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I am working from home. Game starts at 8:30AM and the US team will be all offline so I am expecting a nice quiet day disregarding emails until I take a long lunch at midday. Already told the office to not bother me too much. I'll message family in NYC and express my disappointment for missing Thanksgiving with them.

judman Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 We always eat at night because the guys all hunt. We're probably going to pop out of the woods a bit earlier than usual. I plan to sit at the end of the table where I can see the TV and keep one eye on it. I'll abandon the table occasionally to see what's up with a big play. I like that the cowboys had to play later, and away yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I'm going to be in a household with 3 die hard Cowboy fans, my 2 brothers and uncle. To their credit, their loyal and know the game , and I already started hearing about how we have zero offense, my one brother called me last night telling me we will be easy work and we only have a Running QB. Maybe doesn't know the game too well cause Allen has progressed nicely, to his credit, he only sees what the Red Zone shows him if the Cowboys aren't playing, which they usually aren't playing at 1 pm. Man, i'm going to be ridiculously drunk if things start getting out of hand for us ,but i'm pretty optimistic about our chances Thurs. Football pretty much stays on the main TV all day!

Gordio Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 15 hours ago, Blackkat19 said: My wife has to work the whole day so I will be watching the game at home by myself.? That sounds great. I would love to do that. We go over my sisters every year. When the schedule came out I told my wife my son & I are staying home this Thanksgiving as I hate watching the game with 20 people all talking. My wife said "fine my daughter & I will go over my cousins this year." So everything was set until my cousins decided to come in from Vegas for Thanksgiving this year. So now, I can't stiff my sisters because my mom will be very upset so we are going over my sisters. My BIL does have a pretty sweet setup in his basement so I will go down there when the game starts & hopefully everybody else will stay upstairs.

CodeMonkey Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 We are breaking with tradition, and watching the game live instead of a commercial free recording. And we'll likely eat during the game, whenever it is ready. Some family members are working and other commitments so we cannot eat earlier.

teef Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 i was pumped when the schedule first came out, but in the end it's going to make it a chore to watch the game. thanksgiving is a big production at our place, as we usually have 40 people plus. we're also the last stop for everyone, so there's no way we're going to eat before 5. my wife even offered to set up a separate table in our family room for those who want to watch and eat it, but i have a feeling we'll watch as much as we can, pause the game, and go back to it after the 30 mins of fevered eating.
