Yeah because i keep up with Canadian traditions. Did you know there are areas in WNY that arent close to Canada, no really there is. 2 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: As a society, no. We sort of have black Friday though now.... retailers not missing a trick. That's capitalism for ya. I normally join in and try and cook turkey during the Detroit game to eat during the Dallas game though. This year I have taken the day off (I am actually off the Amsterdam tomorrow) and will be cooking and eating earlier so that I can enjoy the Bills game. Like the effort and enjoy a Bills victory today !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy days Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) On a train working... then in hotel by myself.... probably get off work just as the game is ending but my lovely wife and family are not having thanksgiving either because they are waiting for me to have it!

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. Congrats!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. At first I thought it was a typo but then it happened again and now I have to ask, not critically but out of curiosity. You say "going over my cousins" and "going over my sisters." Wouldn't this mean you are reviewing them or actually running them over with something (?)? Is omitting the "to" (going over TO my sister's) a regional thing? Where are you from?

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 On 11/25/2019 at 10:41 AM, Hapless Bills Fan said: Or do I serve the bottle with dinner and likely have it consumed well before kickoff? Dinner will be the traditional Thanksgiving lasagna (red tomato sauce) and garlic bread with veg sides, so it would be suitable. Dessert will be pumpkin pie, the traditional cheesecake my MIL made, and brownies, so a bit heavy to consume the full bottle after dessert. How did your family adopt the lasagna tradition instead of turkey? What is your ethnic background? I used to know Italians who did this but I haven't seen it much in the mainstream.

Doc Brown Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I'll be honest in that I'm not a huge fan of a Bills game on Thanksgiving. We go to my wife's sister's house every year so I don't have to do any work which is fantastic. I just want to eat, drink, relax, and make fun of the Lions and Cowboys without worrying about the Bills. We've got to shift our meals around (we'll be eating around 3:30 instead of 6:00) because of this game. It's my tradition to drink on an empty stomach until mealtime as it makes me slightly more hungry. I guess I'll have to start early and I hope it's at least another 25 years before we have to play on Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From Roc to Ky bills fan Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I am in Louisville, Kentucky now and heading to the in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner. Eating at 3:30 then taking the oldest of 2 daughters home at 4PM while my wife and younger daughter stay and help clean. Then my wife will join us at the house for the remaining of the game.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 in the last 24 years since my divorce (never remarried) I may of sat down at a table for thanksgiving twice. what I do on this day is remind myself (aside from watching football) how thankful I am for those memories of thanksgiving day and the smell of good food throughout the house with family are cherished memories for sure.

If you are smart you laid down the law of “no disruption of Bills games watching ever” on your first date. It's all about social capital. I'm a western hunter and the NFL season is full of multi day/week long backpack trips into the mountains. My chips are played on being gone a lot sept-dec. That said the bills have utterly ruined me over the years so game pass can a nice breather from the anxiety of live games, lol. But i still watch live when I'm able to.

TigerJ Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Thinks kind of sorted themselves out for out Thanksgiving arrangements. My mother-in-law, who went to the hospital Saturday is home recovering. She'll spend Thanksgiving with other parts of the family. We are hosting my two daughters in Rochester. One of them will have her husband and newborn son. We'll also have our son-in-law's parents. Everybody is responsible for part of the menu. We're doing mashed potatoes, veggies (squash and green bean casserole), and a pecan pie. We eat at 1:45. Bills game at 4:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
