[Silverbells]

Well any other time throughout the year all of those can come from a box or can but on Thanksgiving all of this has to be homemade. But with the turkey the only time I eat it is Thanksgiving or Christmas. cheesy:stuffed:

 

[ReineV]

EVERYTHING homemade...EXCEPT the cranberry sauce...that can be canned. For Thanksgiving, everything HAS to be homemade...or else, in my family, it's not considered Thanksgiving!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I can only answer to one that must be canned....The cranberry sauce - jellied! I don't know why but I think it's the best cranberry sauce. I have tried to get fancy and make some type of cranberry relish and it's just not the same. I have to have the cheap ol can stuff!!!

The rest of it is usually homemade. Occasionally we buy pints of side dishes from a cafeteria here that has good food.

Stuffing- I love stove top but for the holidays we make homemade

Cranberries- Can because only my mom eats them

Yams- We usually used canned fro the holidays but fix fresh all the time for dinner

Cornbread- Box Mix

Pumpkin Pie- It depends who decides to bring it for the holidays. I make homemade and everyone else buys frozen. We like both.

gravy: Definitely homemade, my mom makes the best
pumpkin pie: either, most of my family prefer apple anyways

I usually use canned yams. I buy the raw cranberries and make the whole cranberry sauce as ever since I started doing that my family loves it. We make bread stuffing and also the gravy. I also use canned pumpkin although one year I made it with a pumpkin and the pie turned out kind of lumpy...it tasted good though!
