I wish I could get everyone down here for a visit like that. So far there has not been any interest. Neither of my brothers have even bothered to try and get here in the almost 4 years we've been down.

Of course, it would not be good if it had happened this time.. so...
My house is like a bed and breakfast from late January through early April.  Everyone comes for a week, or at least a long weekend.  Daughters, in laws, tons of buddies- they all want to get out of the cold.  And we LOVE it. 

That’s the main reason I picked the house I have. 
It’s not super big or fancy( just me and my lady and 2 dogs), but it is designed for entertaining.  Kink of an “L” shape around back patio/ pool, and the inside is 2 distinct wings.  Master on on side of kitchen/ dining/ family area, and other side is three guest bedrooms and 2 full baths. 

on a cul-de-sac, but is the only house on the cul-de-sac and the surrounding land can’t be built on because it’s protected area.  100 yard walk down to Inter-coastal. 

Nobody wants to visit during the summer- for some reason 😂☀️🥵

My yearly Thanksgiving will be heavily Navajo-influenced.  The blended family I fellowship with is emphasizing their 3 eldest kids' being half Navajo.
The native peoples in the original colonies brought the 3 Sisters - corns,beans & squash with prolly any game that was procured. Not certain if the 3 sisters were harvested where the Navajo resided

We are set up nicely too. Not a big house either. 3 BR and two baths, with great outdoor space. No dogs. One of the BR's is my office, and I put a really nice Murphy bed in it to accommodate guests, which has happened exactly one time. The 2nd bedroom is primary for guests and the 3rd is overflow.

The kitchen and great room are wide open (we ripped walls down) so the indoor space is nice for entertaining.

We get some visitors for sure. Not quite at the B&B level that I thought we would be at.

We do like it here for sure. We are getting closer to having more commercial too, which will be nice.

No turkey to be found around here, but we're doing chicken cordon bleu instead.

Sides are typical Thanksgiving, though. Stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin dump cake.

Doubtful, that's a 2,000 mile walk.

But I accomplished my mission of getting some mutton.

The first Thanksgiving Day (actually, a three-day celebration) was held in 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts after a successful corn harvest by the Pilgrims. Guests included Chief Massasoit of the Wampanoag 
My ancestors Stephen Hopkins and Giles Hopkins (I think 11th and 10th great grandfathers) were there. Stephen's wife was there as well but I am not descended from her as she was Stephen's second wife. His first wife (Giles' mom) died when Giles was very young.

I see "3-day celebration" and that means lots of booze, right?
Despite being Puritans, the Mayflower was stocked with a considerable amount of beer due to the fact that beer travels better than even water.

Giblet gravy (dad makes this but I really should learn how)
It isn't difficult and I have a recipe for it but one problem you would encounter is that the recipe calls for drippings from roasting the bird. I didn't use drippings when I smoked the Bird because:
  • I didn't have a good way to catch/collect them (could have handled this), and
  • I think the drippings from smoking a bird would be way to smoky and result in a gravy that tasted like nothing but smoke.
