LOL! For years, on Thanksgiving my sister served her family (two children) turkey noodle soup-from a can.

The first year we were married, my MIL insisted that we come to her house for Thanksgiving. The big family meal was to be on Sunday, but we were required to show up on Thursday. My daughter was a month old.

We drove two hours to get there and she made chicken casserole, saving the turkey for Sunday when my BIL was going to be there.

Which of course is almost as good as the year we were told that because my SIL invited her family to brunch on Christmas Day, we had to be moved to 3pm and would be served ham sandwiches. Yup, a two hour drive for a sandwich on Christmas Day.

I promptly said, “Shove off”. We don’t need them to feed us.
