Did Mom forget to thaw the turkey one year, or did Cousin Dave break a leg during the annual family football game? Share your Thanksgiving disaster story.
Barbara Mulvey-Welsh My parents had just moved to a new place and were hosting about 30 or 40 family members. Everyone had arrived when Mom realized that the oven was not working and the turkey was still raw. We ended up having a turkey-free meal that year but it was still fun. Donald Conrad Let me tell you a story: http://flashtold.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/thanksgiving-at-grammas/Thanksgiving at Gramma’s flashtold.wordpress.comGramma tried to hold it back, tried to control it, which didn’t work at all. (Editor's Note: This one is a little graphic) Kara Mallon My mom got up early (4am maybe?) to put in a big turkey, and realized at about 10am that she had failed to turn on the oven. Fun times!
