Option A: canberry! It's a holiday necessity in my family.
Thanksgiving tradition when I was growing up varied drastically, depending on where we were living. When we were in the same state as my grandparents, it was a full-on t-day dinner with turkey, a dozen different sides, canberry, and three or four different homemade pies. When it was just me and my mom and dad living fifteen hundred miles away from the grandparents, it was turkey frozen dinners eaten while watching Young Frankenstein. (Don't ask, okay? I have no idea how it got started; it just did. *g*) Both of them are traditions I cherish.
As an adult, I've done everything from the t-day feast for 35 people (zomg, that was insane; what was I thinking?!), to a roasted chicken with a small selection of trimmings for just me and the kids, to the frozen dinner approach, depending on what was going on in my life at the time.
