Good morning, Deo!
*HUGS*
We have been celebrating Thanksgiving the last several years with only immediate family. This year, Mrs. MacNessa wants to go to her brother's, where there will be a boatload of extended family.
One tradition we have is that I go every year to Iager's Farm in Fulton, Maryland and pick up a fresh-killed turkey, as my father used to do before me. It's by far better than frozen.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
We usually celebrate with just our immediate family as well.
And I agree, fresh is better than frozen.
