Blogs by Elaine Carey Thanksgivings remembered 11/25/2004 6:40:43 PMI loved Pennsylvania holidays in my growing-up years. Mom had 4 brothers and sisters,which meant that 5 families joined at Grandma's house for the feast. Five aunts competed to bake the flakiest crusted pies, the newest cranberry relish, and Grandma's turkey reigned supreme. All the rolls were homemade. The butter was real, of course. My cousin Leanne would take us up to the attic to tell us scary stories while all the grown-ups laughed and joked in the afternoon.
