Matt, you will enjoy this: my grandson is 11 yrs old and I bought him his first 20 gauge shotgun and my son and I took him to try it out and he was really attentive and put every shot on the target. This weekend he went on a deer hunt and the boys he was with shot one and he got to see it all up close. Then the boys father taught all 3 of the boys how to gut a deer. My grandson was so happy and loved every minute of it. It made me think of you and how much you love it. Praise the Lord!
That is so great! Thank you for sharing with us 😊
I lost my mother-in-law last week, too. She died the night I came home from a lumpectomy for breast cancer. It’s been a bad month but we are grateful for everything, too. We are blessed to have had her for 92 years!
You should record that conversation around the pictures so you’ll remember all of them.
I'm sorry you lost her!! I will pray for your cancer.
I love all your videos! Please pray for my daughter she’s sick
🙏✝️🙏
I'm so sorry she is sick. I will pray for her!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you she coughs all night
@@MelissaMounts I'm so sorry. I will pray the cough stops!
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you so much
The first round of holidays with an empty spot at the table are the most difficult. But also healing to remember the last holiday together and to memorialize any special things enjoyed by your folks at that holiday. Incorporate the things they loved or the things that you loved about them on the holiday into family lore and tradition.
I enjoy it when Matt makes you laugh, it's so sweet the way you laugh Tipper. Y'all are so fortunate !!! Thank you, as always! 💞🙌🏼
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
TIPPER, PUT YOUR CRANBERRY SAUCE IN THE REFRIGERATOR AND IT WILL BE COLD WHEN YOU OPEN IT... HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOUR FAMILY, GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🙏🙏
that's what I do, right up front. I'm the only one that eats it so it's easy for it to be overlooked. And yes I'm with Matt, the canned stuff is the best!
😊 Thank you!!
hahaha that's what I was thinking too!
My Mom( bless her soul she's in heaven now) did that. I miss her especially at the Holidays. They've never been the same without her and never will be. I strongly dislike this time of year. Let's skip right to March and I would be very happy
In my neck of the woods(Wisconsin) all we ever had was meat gravy, it has only been in the last 20-30 years that the custom of sausage gravy and biscuits at breakfast was introduced. I agree with Matt, you have to have both. Very good to hear Granny is going to finish her treatments and making pumpkin pies. Wishing your family a blessed Thanksgiving.🦃🦌
You don’t need glass, you can buy the thick clear vinyl that goes over your tablecloth to protect it, you can put the photos under it. It comes on a long roll at the hobby stores. I got mine at JoAnns & Michaels. Great thing about this vinyl… you can reuse and reuse it, when it’s finally worn out, use in greenhouse, etc Happy Thanksgiving! Been praying for Granny 🤍
Great idea!
Great tip!
We did that for an anniversary dinner at our church one time and everyone loved it!
Because it is matte, everyone could take pictures of the pictures! You could put down a white tablecloth, pictures, vinyl.
Glad Granny is doing well. My husbands sister found out maybe 2 months ago she had cancer and she passed last week. We just never know, like you said. Just be grateful every day and love the people God gave us!
I'm so sorry you lost her.
Thank you Matt and Tipper! So happy to know that Granny is tolerating her treatments, so well. Happy Thanksgiving to you all and your entourage!❤️🇨🇦🙏🦃
With all the talk of Matt’s eyesight changing, I am thinking he needs to ensure his blood pressure is under control. I know he’s at the age where his eyes might be changing anyway, but I know I had issues with my eyesight when my blood pressure was not under control. We care about you and look forward to watching you, and we thank you for your companionship! Be well!!
Even encouragement from someone we've never met can be the straw it takes to get us to move toward the thing we've been putting off but know we should get moving toward. This one is for you Matt. You find a top notch Eye Specialist, and take the first appointment they have available. Do ya hear me? You are very enjoyable to watch and God knows how much your family needs you. Then there is that precious grandson soon to make his appearance to Grandpa. I think you may need some tests run on your eyes that are not routine. And if you do, you may possibly need time to heal.
Y'all enjoy Thanksgiving safely, and to the fullest. It is my favorite time of year. Tipper, I continue to remember your mother in prayer.
Thank you 😊
Are you getting a new grandchild?❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@pjchapman9419 Yes Katie is having a baby in March 😊
I miss the family holidays. Our family has shrunk to a small handful. Beautiful memories gets me through. Thank you for sharing- it made me chuckle. Have a blessed thanksgiving- prayers for grannie~
So thankful Granny is doing okay. She sure can sing. Bless her.
My grandson is working at Honey Baked Ham and the employers get a choice of a ham or turkey. We all voted for ham. So its going to be ham and biscuits and good old canned cranberry slices on top plus all the goodies we have that make it Thanksgiving. You are the hardest working couple,.so you need to eat good. Thank god Granny is doing well. The picture idea is great. I hope it works out for you. I love my old pictures but it gives me a happy /sad feeling seeing all my babies and family I won't see no more till Heaven. I love visiting with you all. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. God bless us all.💗🙏
One of my favorite parts is where you both sit and eat popsicles and relax and talk.😊 Happy Thanksgiving to the whole family! From Michigan.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I think every day should be a day of thanks because most of us here in America have such an abundance and we're so blessed! 🙏
Amen!!!
My wife is 74 and I’m 78, we are from West Virginia but we have lived in Florida for 10 years, we really enjoy watching your family on utube. I have probably watched about all your videos. It helps me when I get homesick for the mountains and having a garden. Your husband is a lot like me, I like to hunt and I love fishing we live on a chain of lakes her and we have a 21 foot pontoon boat. If your ever in Florida come and visit. I also love hunting knives.
So glad you enjoy our videos! Thank you 😊
My daddy always made turkey,homemade chicken dressing,giblet gravy, Cranberry sauce,homemade mashed potatoes, potatoe salad,Slaw, deviled eggs,pumpkin, sweet potato,pecan pie....
Delicious
I agree with Matt, jellied cranberry sauce! I'm the only one in my house who will eat it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I do get canned cranberry sauce, even though I don’t eat it. But I stir in a small canned of mandarin oranges (not including the juice) and I actually like it.
You two are like bread and butter ❤ I hope to find love like that again (my butter passed 18 years ago) ❤
🦋🦋🦋 I just love that you all can get together as a family! I really enjoy hearing y’all talk about it the way you do. I’m sure it brings hope to so many people!
Thank you so much 🤗
HAPPY THANKGIVING TO YOU ALL !! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND SPECIAL BLESSING FOR GRANNY.
Get you some progressive glasses and then you can see both near and far.
I'm with Matt. Who doesn't like gravy!😊 I do like the fresh cranberry sauce though.
I so enjoy these times when you and Matt sit and enjoy your popsicles and just talk.
Hey Tipper. We’ve had four cousin reunions over the last four years and as all our parents and grandparents are gone to their reward, I got large pieces of poster board and taped pictures of all the aunts and uncles and grandparents etc. many old family photos and displayed them on the picnic tables at the pavilion we were at Oh my gosh EVERYONE just loved seeing them and I told them to take which ones they wanted. It made for a great heart warming day of sharing family stories and fond recollections. ❤
Love that!
Am partial to gravy & cranberry sauce! The jellied cranberry in the can, refridgerated, open the can, it comes out & then cut it in 1/2 inch slices 😋 Happy to hear Granny is doing well & her treatments are ending🙏🏻 I hear Matt about the eyesight issue...the readers or "cheaters" as some call them, are inconvenient. Wishing y'all a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🍂🍁🍂🍗🌽🍠🥧
Enjoyed sitting & listening to you both. I’m with Matt on the gravy & canned cranberry sauce, gotta have ‘‘em both. Glad to hear that granny is holding her own, we will continue to lift her up in prayer daily. I busted out laughing when Matt said I can’t see it, but I’m enjoying it. Hope y’all have a blessed Thanksgiving. 👍🏻🦃😇🦃🙏🏻🦃❤️🦃
Thank you Pastor Lon! We appreciate those prayers 😊
Make a big list of what you need and check it off…that’s what I do or I will forget everything! But yes you have to have cranberry and gravy or it ain’t thanksgiving! Matt is one smart cookie! ❤
I was told many years ago that garlic in your flower bed will help with the bugs.
I remember when I was a kid my grandparents would sit out on the porch at night after supper here in North Mississippi. They lived in the country on a dirt road and always made a "gnat smoke" our in the yard. I'm 71 years old now and I still remember how that smoke smelled. I loved every minute of living in those times. Also I agree with Matt. Gravy is good anytime with anything. Happy Thanksgiving.
God is so good! I've prayed for your Mom faithfully and it brings such joy in hearing she took so well to the treatments. She will be so thankful it's over. God bless you and yours this holiday. And to all your subbies....
Happy Thanksgiving !!!
I started following your family's videos in earnest last holiday season and I'm very much looking forward to watching them this year. The holidays have a tendency to be stressful to me and your videos help me relax and enjoy the season. Praying for your new grand baby! I just had a little boy in August, so I know exactly what Katie is in for soon! 😂 Also praying for Granny! If any one feels it on their heart to pray for my sister in law, she was recently diagnosed with leukemia. God bless your family this Thanksgiving and Christmas! ❤
Thank you!! 😊
🙏
@@joycewilson3787 thank you!!
Yes! I’m with Matt! I put that turkey gravy on my mashed potatoes, my dressing, and turkey!
Always enjoy yours and Matt’s conversations with us. I hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving and a special prayer for Granny to be feeling good this holiday season. 🍂🦃🧡
Wishing you a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving. Prayers for Granny. May all of your wonderful memories of Miss Cindy be with you all. God bless your family you all are a blessing and comfort to those of us that are alone .
Bless you Cindy!! We appreciate you 😀
There is no such thing as Thanksgiving dinner without turkey gravy and cranberry sauce. So good on the mashed potatoes and dressing. We have to have baked beans also.
I agree ❤❤
Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Prayers continue for Granny. My sweet Momma went to heaven November 7. What a celebration she is having in heaven.
I'm so sorry you lost her!
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you.
So glad that granny is doing well and has tolerated her treatment well. My sister had an awful time with chemo. Take care.
I'm with Matt on that gravy and cheap canned cranberry sauce! I could eat that stuff straight out of the can!😄 Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and all your viewers too!
We record the conversations around the table when the older family members are sharing stories or memories. You can use a phone or some other kind of digital recorder, it was a great way to capture not just the stories but to hear the littles running around or laughing and just capturing those good family moments. 😊❤
That's a great idea!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Prayers & blessings to all especially Granny. May God bless you all!!
Great news about Granny! I’ll continue to pray.
i can just imagine how good the gravy would be from that deer ham..or turkey gravy from the bird..holiday potatoes deserve gravy.
Oh my watching this I’m getting so hungry. We are going to our son’s house for Thanksgiving. I’ll be helping a lot. Can’t wait to be with family.
If you end up with missed or leftover cranberry sauce, try mixing some of it with vanilla ice cream. I did that one year and really liked the mild tartness of the cranberry mingled with the sweetness of the ice cream.
Sounds great!
We will be having around 30 people for Thanksgiving. I am like Matt I have to have my canned cranberry and turkey gravy. I Also love cornbread dressing, chicken and dumplings, shuck beans, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, sweet potato casserole, and of course, turkey and ham, homemade yeast, rolls, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. etc I hope everyone has a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.❤
Proud to hear your mother is doing great thru her treatments..and you are so right about praying..it works..
God Bless Granny🙏
I’m so thankful for your precious family! Also thankful for Granny’s treatments coming to an end. Praying y’all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and a sweet time of sharing memories of those that have passed. And celebrate as believers, knowing we will see them again. God bless
y’all! 😀❤️
Thank you!!
You all are so blessed to be all able to get together and share the holidays. Prayers continue for granny.
Thanks so much!!
I love gravy!
You and Matt are to funny when you have your chats. That’s was so funny when he was talking about his eyesight. When my eyesight went bad it was like his good one day and I swear I was almost blind the next. You all have a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you don’t forget the cranberry sauce. lol
Matt, I put meat off the turkey neck, a few spoons of cooked stuffing, poultry seasoning, some cooked gravy in a blender, blend, then add it back to the pot of gravy. This adds more flavor. We like our gravy and potatoes. 😉 You all have a nice Thanksgiving.
Thank you so much for the conversation this evening! Prayers for Granny. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Love your videos, and you have a good man in your life, and he has a great woman.
We appreciate that!
Y’all got a lot done around the garden today. Good conversation. Thankful for the good report on Granny and prayers will continue for her and all your family.
I believe I'd have to do my husband in, if he plowed my gardens. There is no way I want the microbes and earth worms messed up in my soil. I know the old timers plowed all the time, but I have much more success with no tilling. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Prayers and love to you all.
PRAYING FOR GRANNY 🙏 Matt Please Have Your Eyes Checked.
We love cranberry sauce and gravy. And the homemade rolls. Yum. My very favorite part of the dinner is the leftovers the next day.😊
Especially leftover turkey sandwiches on toasted bread with lots of mayo and green olives on the side💕
Collards and turnip greens very cold tolerant and delicious !!!
One year I bought a white tablecloth and had everyone do a handprint...adults and kids. The following year I lost my dad and my uncle but I have their handprint on that table cloth and have added the grandkids. It's so fun to look at all of them.
It's good to hear Granny is doing well. Like pumpkin pie it's not Thanksgiving with out that canned cranberry sauce at our house. Gotta have the gravy and cornbread dressing!! Have a blessed Thanksgiving Pressley family and everyone that is a part of this wonderful community of fans.
Goblet gravy is my favorite part of thanksgiving
Giblet
Enjoyed the visit and keeping Granny and everyone in my prayers...🦃🦃🦃
I’m wishing you a happy thanksgiving 🦃 and still keeping granny in my prayers for an amazing healing. God bless you all.😊😊
My Family always made Giblet Gravy for Thanksgiving 🤢 Back in the early 70’s My Grandmother would always make a sweet potato pie just for me and I didn’t share 😄Tipper you’re so right about enjoying every minute. I lost my Mother 2 years ago on Nov. 21st and then lost my father in Jan. this year and then my son in-law in August.
I'm sorry for your loss. I prayer God will pour out special blessings on you and His love will wrap you up in His loving arms💞🙏😇
Sweet memory of your grandmother! I'm so sorry you lost them all.
May their Souls Rest in Perfect Peace 🙏✝️✝️🙏
Creamed potatoes and homemade gravy is a meal to me especially with minute steak Yum and Yum! 😋 Looks like a warmer winter this year. Thanks for the video ❤
Hey guy's, Matt, maybe your eye doctor needs his eyes checked! Prayers and God bless y'all. Happy Thanksgiving. My folks are gone now, my mother just last year, and their wedding anniversary is the 24th. But God is good, I'm really thankful and fortunate, and your family has only made my life that much better.
Absolutely best hopes for granny's recovery/happy thanks giving /between my stomach and it being just me and the cat I dont bother with it/so happy for you having a warm hearted family/I cant even imagine it when mine is arctic hearted / bitter cold/at least I have a toasty warm heart and a happy cat!lol
Thank you!!
Hi Matt & Tipper, I just love watching you chat with each other. All of our Family has passed. It seemed once my Mom-Mom( my G’ma) passed then my Uncle & my Mom both in there middle 50’s. We had Thanksgiving at My Mom’s whilst I was growing up & she never did like cooking nor did she ever bake. I always helped her even at a very young age .Now it’s just a small dinner during the Holidays since my younger daughter & son both live with us. It’s easier times are hard to have us living together. I’m sure glad we have the food when we do get the fence to be together. I’m sure glad Granny has tolerated her treatments & that she will soon be done. We have kept her & everyone there as well as e reading the prayer needs that are posted. Could I please still have prayer’s for my Family continued. I’d surely appreciate it since my hubby has been i’ll & my daughter starts back her IV treatment for her illness that it gp helps her & DOESN’T make her sick like the last time. God Bless & HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🍁🦃 ~ Hugs from NJ ~ Anita 🙏🏽🍁🧶🫶🏽
Thank you Anita! I will continue to pray for them both!!
Don’t feel bad Tipper I never make gravy either but my husband loves turkey gravy with his mashed taters. I pray your precious mama is able to enjoy Thanksgiving 🙏🙏. I love to watch yall I feel like I’m visiting with family. Matt my husband always gets accused of having a beer belly and he always “nope” I’m a teetotaler but I sure do like to eat lol. Thanks for sharing your lives with all of us. Holidays are hard when loved ones pass on 🙏
Matt is a man after my own heart, gravy, cranberries and extra pepper.
We host as well and spent our day today cleaning and getting ready for Thanksgiving. Happy Thankgiving to you all!
Im with Matt. Gotta have my gravy. Country girl in me.
Hey Tipper & Matt, Thanks for the updates and glad Granny is doing well. Hopefully Matt sees the Eye Doctor soon. Love to you all. Have a wonderful Holiday.
Blessings to granny
For your photos, find a high end xerox copier that does good prints on good archival paper. You can get a lot of pics on the 11x17 paper. You can cut them up and send them home with family after your done and not loose the originals. Keep your originals safe and secure because if your family is like most, they will all be missing or atleast those you would of liked to hold onto.
Got to have turkey gravy with mashed potatoes, stuffing, and right on the turkey. Nothing better!
Don't forget the cranberry sauce!
Coming to you from Cranberry Country USA, Carver Massachusetts 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving
I agree with Matt, gravy is the best!
I have been cooking all day! Desserts are done.
Wonderful!
I always put a menu on the side of my fridge. Otherwise I will totally forget something 🤦🏻♀️
Praying for Granny 🤲😘
"Even when you're blind." LOL!!!!
Thanks guys.
Our pleasure!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday- all that lovely food and family time. We are so grateful for the Lord’s goodness.
I vote for a white board. One side what to make and when, and the other what needs to be put on the table for dinner. I almost always forget to put the rolls on the table and forget to take the butter out ahead of time to get soft.
#1 again for the first time in a long time!
Thank you Papaw 😊
Matt is like my son he always wants jelled cranberry and gravy . Happy Thanksgiving to your family ,prayers for Granny. Stay safe God bless your family .
It was so good just listening to your chat.
I’ve been with my husband since 1988-89 and to this day, he eats like a government mule. Always has and probably always will… so, you’re not alone. 🤷🏻♀️😉
I could not imagine Thanksgiving with out corn bread dressing. Praying everyone has a Blessed day.
As always enjoyed the chat. Hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving!❤
That right your thanksgiving is coming up this week. You must be so excited for all the food and family 🙏. Just think next year you will have a new one to care on the family traditions
We are excited 😊 Thank you for watching!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🍁🦃 🍁 I hope y’all have a wonderful time together with all the family!! 🤗
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Prayers continue for Granny! Next year there will be a sweet grandson! Love to everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving to your beautiful family. I miss my family so much. You are so blessed.
Thanks so much we are very blessed!
I Love your Thanksgiving Stories and hearings what you are Eating. Gobble Gobble 🦃
Tipper , have you ever made cranberry Relish? One bag FRESH cranberries, 1 seedless orange, one cup sugar. Grind orange( not peeled) and berries jnto a Relish add sugar. Refrigerate overnight . It is so good with Turkey. I agree with Matt , I love to eat. And I like everything. That's why I am 50+lbs overweight 😢😢😢.
I am so grateful Grannie is doing so well. As usual, thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤❤❤❤
That's very similar to what Miss Cindy made 😊 So good!
I'm like you, Matt. I love the cranberry sauce in the can. And I also prefer gravy with my mashed potatoes!!
Greetings from North Texas! Have a blessed thanksgiving!!
Thank you! You too 😊
