A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving… AAUGH Blog style

Two weeks ago, a member of the family noted that they didn’t really want to put up with tie big Thanksgiving meal this year. As the only thing I’d purchase for it was the crescent rolls, and one family member really wanted a “family event”, I offered up this alternative: …
