What do you eat Thanksgiving Eve?

You know what?
Our T Eve tradition used to revolve around the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Bring the kids wearing pjs under their snowsuits to 72nd St near the Museum of Natural History and watch the parade balloons get blown up. Amazing how many patches they have!
That held until the city started banning people from congregating after 9:00 pm so the residents of neighboring buildings could get some .

Take out. I've got a LOT of meat in the freezer, though, so probably ask DH to grill something.

We’re going out for Italian. Two kids are coming home for college and one daughter suggested we go out. I don’t see them often so they get a lot of say.

Sounds like a frozen pizza night to me LOL!

Probably take out from somewhere good.

Our Thanksgiving is screwy based on family dynamics. We go to DH's family on Thanksgiving day in the afternoon. My family does lunch on Saturday to accommodate my son being with his dad and my brother and sis in law being with her family. So Eve is nothing special. DH is a freak with regard to his diet and eating the same 15 foods without deviation so I'll make myself a regular dinner as usual .

My daughter is making chicken enchiladas at the request of her sister.

I have no idea what we will have but my daughter has worked at a pizza place for the last 5 years and Night Before Thanksgiving is one of their busiest nights of the year

Before the big cooking day do you have any special meal the night before?

When the boys were home we usually ordered pizaz but now it's just DH and myself so I have no clue what we'll chomp on. Any ideas would be appreciated.

We are from south Louisiana, so oyster patties for appetizer followed by gumbo. Will make it Tuesday. Always tastes better day 2, and our our daughter and her husband from NYC get in at our nearby little airport after 7 pm so it will be a long day.

We call this the "Feast of Eat Everything!"

Nothing specific, but anything Mexican,pizza, burger sounds good because it seems different from the stuff we will be eating for several days.
