Every year we would all come together at my grandmother
McFaul-Coplen's home in Roscoe. She is no longer with us, but my family now
celebrates Thankgiving in my home. My parents, brothers, and their families all
bring a dish. I wanted to carry on what my grandmother started, and love and miss
all my family in Sweetwater and Roscoe. - Tracey Flake (Early, Texas)

 Last year I had chosen my fall leaf garland with gold candles
however, at the last minute I had to redecorate with my snowman collection due to
the 5-6 inches of snow we accumulated! - Kandy Myers (Sweetwater, TX)

 Every year we get together at Mom and Dad's to eat until we
can't breath. Then we proceed to decorate the tree. Everyone has their own ornament.
Once the tree is decorated, we all lay under the tree, turn the overhead light off
and say, "Ooooooooh, Aaaaaaaaah".  - Mel King (Tuscola)

 I don't know if y'all remember my parents, James and Sarah
Rycroft, or not -- but years ago Daddy would secure the National Guard Armory in
Sweetwater for Thanksgiving and would invite anyone in Sweetwater that didn't have
family to be with to join us for dinner.  We would cook all week long.  We also
delivered Thanksgiving dinner to people that were "home bound".Daddy would
set up 3 or 4 televisions for the ball games.  Folks would sit around
and play domino.  It always turned into quite a social event.  Daddy couldn't stand the
thought that anyone would be left alone on Thanksgiving.  Mother and Daddy have
been gone for some time now, but I'll bet there are folks that will remember this
