My Granddad Wanted To Show Us His "Pride And Joy" This Thanksgiving. Turns Out, It Wasn't His Grandchildren But Rather His Sense Of Humor

I show up at my aunt's house and my granddad is sitting in the corner with a big grin on his face. I walk over to say hello and he asks, "Have you seen my pride and joy?" He pulls out this picture and starts laughing uncontrollably. It's definitely Thanksgiving time again!

The title of this sits poorly with me: if he's allergic, it's hardly at matter of letting or not letting her, it's a matter of being allergic to cats.

A British Canadian Thanksgiving

A British Canadian Thanksgiving

I'm British and my husband is Canadian, so that's why you can see Yorkshire puddings and pigs in blankets. Also the desserts went very British with sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble. The brie en croute was my favorite. Happy Thanksgiving!

For our first thanksgiving, our greek neighbours across the road invited us over for a day with their 20 + person family, and we had thanksgiving for a Greek twist which was unforgettable. For me, that is what thanksgiving is. #2 My aunt, uncle and two cousins were visiting from Seattle and flying back on thanksgiving this year. The whole family ( my parents and sister, and two uncles and aunts) planned a secret Thanksgiving last Sunday and my grandparents sneakily got the whole thing ready (Aunt and Uncle stayed with my grandparents). They were so happy when we walked in and they realised what we were doing. It was a very british thanksgiving with lots of pigs in blankets, but I also made my first pumpkin p

My BIL has 2 wonderful dogs that I usually see at family holidays, this year unfortunately Lola passed away (the Boston terrier). I decided to do a painting of the 2 of them at thanksgiving, which was one of her favorite holidays. Going to send this to him as a surprise as soon as the oil paint is dry.

I know there are a lot of frustrating stories going around during the holidays, but wanted to share a wholesome one - my family, who are not vegan, made an entire vegan thanksgiving meal this year without me even asking! I was so excited and touched. My sister even bought some nooch for the first time to make the gravy. Hoping you all had a very wonderful thanksgiving!
