Perhaps junior Jessica Vankleeck delves into one of the more unique Thanksgiving traditions Thursday when she makes her annual biscuits designed to look like turkeys.
This junior will celebrate at her grandparents home after she heads home to Poughkeepsie. She is looking forward to eating real food and is "super duper psyched about the mashed potatoes."
Along with her own special biscuit making, she will also takes in some long traditional activities like watching " A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving."
As classes thinned and parking opened up on Tuesday, members of the Saint Rose community still on campus shared their Thanksgiving plans and traditions with The Chronicle.
Sophomore Nicole Dama is going home to her cousin's house in Hyde Park for Thanksgiving. Her cousin is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and is making dinner. Dama estimates about 20 people for Thanksgiving dinner, and with the amount of little kids in the family she hopes to be elevated to the adult table this year.
"My cousin has kids and my sister is having a baby," said Dama "I used to be the baby, but now everyone has grown up."
To Sophomore Joe Abele, a Spanish major, the best part about Thanksgiving is "just being with my family." Abele is going home to Clifton Park to celebrate with his grandparents and immediate family where he will most likely watch the parade and football. Over break he is working at Barnes & Noble.
Abele is not the only one working over the break. Erika Forgacs, a Spanish education major from Middletown in Orange County, can't go home because she has to work on Black Friday at the DSW shoe store at Crossgates. Unfortunately, Forgacs is also shut out of her dorm room because the Saint Rose dorms close over the break.
