My true love gave to me

Five chili...

Let's thank the Lord

for this wonderful food.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Thank you, Ma.

So, Grandpa, when are you gonna

put the Christmas lights up?

(SMACKING LIPS) Oh...

Maybe tonight after supper.

I thought you and Travis might

help me untangle all those lights.

It's a big job.

That sounds like

a good job for y'all.

MA:
Uh, hmmm.

Hey, Dad, when we

come down for Christmas,

could we stay the whole week?

ALL:
Oh, yeah. Yes.

I like that idea.

Great idea.

We're, we're not

coming for Christmas.

Let's eat up here, folks,

that turkey's gonna get cold.

(CLATTERING)

Hey, son.

Hey.

(MICHAEL SIGHS)

Years ago,

when I was a kid,

the whole family used to go to your

great-grandpa's house for Christmas.

The one by the lake?

Yeah.

And one Christmas
