"One year my grandma was carving the turkey ceremoniously and as she was leaning over the bird, her sleeve caught on fire. She didn't notice for a while and my uncle was just yelling, '[Grandma,] you're on FIRE! On FIRE!!!' When she finally noticed, she ripped her shirt off and jumped up and down on it for an eternity. The image of my topless grandmother stomping on her flaming Anne Klein blouse has haunted me." - alicefitzgerald99
"One year, my sweet mother did not realize that the turkey breast also takes hours to thaw, so we had no main course... Luckily her dogs are very spoiled and always get turkey sandwich meat on top of their dog food, so we had that instead. They were still the best part."
"My grandmother and my aunt lived in the same apartment building and they decided to host Thanksgiving at their place for my entire (quite large) family. It was a chaotic attempt to pull off a joint meal."
