I think the hardest I ever laughed, was the Thanksgiving we had at Aunt June's when Dad and Uncle J. Paul were playing password! Remember Deer! Little Deer!
I remember that password game, Bear, that Big Bear. Also the wild games of Skunk and singing Bulldog on the Bank. Mom's rolls and pumpkin pie, apple pudding and all the good stuff. Thanksgiving was always one of my favorite days.
What about Holiday Squares?
My favorite memories are at the church. I was the only kid I knew that had Thanksgiving dinner at the church, and we all loved it so much! I remember playing on/under the stage and thinking it was so scary to go under where the tables & chairs were stored.
I remember having Thanksgiving at Aunt June's and after it got dark, us kids would play Cat and Mouse in the hall and bedrooms. That was fun. I also remember the round robin games of ping pong and the Holiday Squares.
I also remember Thanksgiving at the church, and all of us grandkids running everywhere. I thought playing on the stage was always a real treat. I also loved sitting and listening to the adults tell stories. There were always good ones that made me laugh.
I'd have to say that I miss carrot pudding. Mom would steam it in the shortening can. It was great with the caramel sause over it.
Ah, yes--Holiday Squares. Corn flakes, Rice Krispies, Spanish peanuts, and coconut all covered in a mixture of Karo syrup and sugar that must be boiled until it "threads like a hair." What's not to love?
Also, remeber the Thanksgivings at Aunt June's house? How wonderful did that smell? With three of the greatest cooks Alpine ever produced (and Alpine produced quite a few great cooks),the food was always top-notch. Aunt Betha's sugar cookies, shaped like turkeys and autumn leaves, Aunt June's homemade dressing (NOT stuffing), Mom's famous rolls and pecan pies...I can taste it all now!
