THANKSGIVING DINNER IN TEXAS

This year is our first American Thanksgiving in Texas.  Of course, we have already had our Canadian Thanksgiving at home in Canada on October 14th.  It seems the celebrations are very similar with the exception of the travelling.  The American Thanksgiving is when everyone seems to travel all over the country, to be with family for this holiday.  A lot of people have left the park to be with family and will be back after this extra long weekend.  Whereas for us, it seems Christmas is more the time to travel to be with Family. 

 
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner at the Park Rec Hall, where the Turkey, Stuffing and Gravy are supplied for the  price of your ticket, with the rest of the dinner and decorations planned and supplied by you and your table mates in a Pot Luck fashion. 
 
The event was well attended.  All the tables were beautifully  decorated.  And the food was delicious. 
 
 
 
 
All of the tables were so beautifully decorated I think we should have had a best decorated table prize.  It was all so  lovely. 
 
 
 The food was very traditional just like we would have had at home.  The only thing that seemed different for me is that Dinner was at 12:00 noon.   

We stuffed ourselves completely.  Then we went home for a couple of hours, then we all met back at the hall for
leftovers at 6:00 pm. 
 
I swore I couldn't eat another thing, but of course I did, cause what good is a turkey, without having a turkey sandwich.    
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOW I AM STUFFED, JUST LIKE A TURKEY
