A zombie family Thanksgiving a la the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving style.

"No! The Brain fork goes on the right!"  
"Not in my day, it didn't!!"

In truth, we lost a Father, Grand Father, and Great Grandfather all in one amazing person two years ago.  His spirit and memory is with us still--especially at a recent Wedding, and the addition of a newborn family member.  For that--We Are undyingly Thankful.  The only part of any tablescape that matters is the family and friends around it!  Enjoy ALL your family while you've got them.  Ask them the questions you've never asked before.  Twist their arms for new stories!  I doubt they'd cry 'Uncle'--in fact--most will welcome the opportunity.
