So sorry.....been a bit busy these days!
Let's see.....we will be going to my side of the family's house this year which happens to be in Philadelphia. Every year my hubby and I switch going to the other's house for Thanksgiving to make it fair.
I'm not that much of a Thanksgiving Holiday person. Christmas is my absolute favorite! I guess I'm kinda like the bah humbug of Thanksgiving. It's just a holiday to basically eat and eat and eat. I don't like pumpkin pie ( I know that's just not right I can hear you all saying)...It also reminds me that winter is coming (and I HATE snow) and I have to go to work the next day ALWAYS cause the woman I work with gets that day off every year.
Now ask this question right before Christmas and I'll type forever and ever!
Have a great Turkey day and I'll look for your brother. That's awesome!

LOL Thanks for responding despite your lack of enjoyment of Thanksgiving  I looove Christmas too - especially because I love to make presents for people. But Thanksgiving is great because it really kicks off the Christmas season and makes it acceptable to start listening to Christmas music
Well I hope you enjoy your day as much as possible (no fair about having to work the next day though) and I'll be sure to ask this at Christmas just for you!

Ooh... this is a sad answer. I am writing three ten page papers, one exam, and one lecture. So basically I will be having a big heap of NOT fun.
Although, this is the first holiday in six and half years that Eric and I will ever spend by ourselves without our families. I'm kind of excited about this and kinda sad.
We're vegetarians as well, so we'll be making our traditional Tofurkey and the various side dishes and trimmings that go with it.

That stinks that you have all of that work to do! Hopefully you can set it aside for just a little and enjoy your Thanksgiving alone with Eric!
I thought it was bad that I had 3 - 3 page papers to write!
Well best of luck and see if you can put him to work doing something!

That is really sad about your Mum, did she convert as education orfor love (I am thinking all romantic, like Charlotte in SATC, how shallow am i?) I really think that Irish people are so closed off when it comes to religion, and that families all over the world separate for the most ridiculous reasons. Land and religion are the main two though.
Kilkenny is not a million miles from my end of the world (I am from Wexford which is the next county, and Kilkenny are our annual hurling adversaries, we beat them this year!)
I could convince BF to come to NYC for a long weekend, but it would depend on dates, as one of my best friends is getting married 8 October next year and I am a bridesmaid so that will take up time and money.
I LOVE New York! I lived in Queens (Sunnyside and Astoria) for a summer and worked 2 blocks from Penn Station. BF worked in 1500 Broadway which is on Times Square. That was the summer of 1997, when we had just started going out....
I have been back twice since,once with my Mum and once with my Dad but BF hasn't been...and the exchange rate is pretty good at the moment....
Movie wise I watched Chicago, which was well done. I think I can probably recite "Four Weddings" at this stage I have seen it so many times!
OK, while my first vote is for a European destination, my 2nd vote would be NYC.

Sorry Natalie, NYC would also do me! (as I just told Dalia)
Achill is beautifulm definitely a good way to start Ireland (rather than at a hen night in Temple Bar!) one of my friends has spent loads of NYE's there. There's a piper that goes from each pub to the centre of town at midnight or something like that. One year she got snowed in though!
Apparently 1 in 4 Britons claim Irish ancestry so its not surprising that you and Dalia have come out as Irish!
And you are safe enough admitting your scouse origins on this board, not many people will know what you are talking about!
Roll on X factor!

I feel the same way about Thanksgiving! It's just a food holiday (I am thankful everyday!) that gets in the way of planning for Christmas (I've been working on my cards since September and can't wait to get my tree up!). I used to love it when all of my dad's family would get together for all 4 days at my cousins house on the other side of the state - now everyone's too BUSY for it 
So, at the moment, I have absolutely nothing planned ... Hope everyone else enjoys their holiday though!
