This week we asked readers to describe their Thanksgiving, and what the holiday will likely look like.

My perfect Thanksgiving would be spending it with my ex-wife, who left 30 years ago. She’s out in California. She’s a doctor out there and she left. That would be my perfect Thanksgiving. I will spend it this year with a few friends. I’m a picky eater, so only plain turkey, no trimmings. I just like the plain white meat and a jar of Gulden’s Mustard and I’m in business.

What I’d really want, which is never going to happen, but I would like to spend Thanksgiving with my grandmother again. But unfortunately she passed away. Actually, I don’t know what I’ll be doing this year. I will probably just spend it with my kids and that’s about it. I won’t be doing much traveling this year.

My fantasy Thanksgiving would be to see the Macy’s Day Parade sitting on the bleachers for once, instead of always standing. My reality will be the three C’s: cooking, catering and cleaning after everyone in the home. Though it sounds like work, I’m grateful to be the person that looks after everyone on the holidays.

I would say my perfect Thanksgiving would be spent exploring the music scene in Glasgow, Scotland. I haven’t traveled much, but a lot of my favorite artists perform over there, so I would really like to go. I expect to eat dinner with my family, which is slightly less lively, but just as lovely.

My ideal Thanksgiving would be for my family and I on a nice vacation on a tropical beach, having a nice dinner with famous people performing on the beach with a bonfire. I will spend Thanksgiving with the entire family at the house and relaxing, playing some card games and then going to my boyfriend’s family home and having desert and some wine with them.
