no, I have never heard of it.

when i was growing up, we had to dress up, but over the years, we stopped celelberating holidays and it was whatever. me and the hubby usually spend thanksgiving w/ his family and my inlaws don't dress up, but then again, their thanksgiving dinner sucks.

We have never done gift giving but I remember the adults doing the drawing for the Christmas grab bags. On Thanksgiving we had to go to turch in the morning, participate in the turch Thanksgiving program with a poem of how thankful we are(all kids had to according gramma's wishes), we were all still in turch clothes and we all went to gramma's house. ]]> Sat, 03 Nov 2012 08:08:01 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/thanksgiving-gifts_topic350325_post9899546.html#9899546 <![CDATA[Thanksgiving Gifts : EPITOME wrote:no.question:...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/thanksgiving-gifts_topic350325_post9899544.html#9899544 Author: nitabug

Ummm...she needs to lower that to $20 or less.
But I don't see anything wrong with the idea of gift giving..it should be more about being creative and thoughtful versus pricey...those are the kind of gatherings that usually dissuade people from attending..which may be her whole idea. haha

We dress nicely for Thanksgiving but we don't necessarily dress "up." I think that the appropriate term is "dressy casual."
 
I don't think that casual is odd, though I do that formal or semi-formal are.

We dress up for Thkgvg and Christmas.  In past years we've drawn names on turkey for christmas giving, but that system tends to break down with ppl still buying gifts for others besides their "drawn" name, but really who complains about that?

By dress up you do mean nice attire and not an actual costume right(I've seen it done)? If so, we dress up, but we dress up for every and any holiday so I may be bias.

a costume? as what? a turkey?LOL

It soon caught on so every year my sister get me and my sisters something from the natural hair EXPO.
 
Probably. We never get together for Christmas so that's probably why. I would rather give food (store-bought, not homemade) though.
