I don’t even own a dress, let alone pantyhose. Dressing up for me is a nice pair of jeans and a t-shirt without a saying or picture that’ll piss off my mother. So that leaves out my “Aren’t I just a f@#%ing ray of sunshine” shirt. 🙂 Sheri ---

I wear a dress or skirt 95% of the time anyway, Thanksgiving day will be no different. The guys will have on jeans and football jerseys. ---

I’ll be wearing pants, because I have no intention of shaving my legs. And a nice shirt, probably. **Kathleen de Trelare** writes, > [@](#): > > Another reason I will not dress up is because the day after Thanksgiving is my birthday and I’m going to dress up then. I don’t want to wear pantyhose two days in a row. You don’t wear Whatever You Want for your birthday? I sure will! Friday I’m going to get up and be my usual demanding self, and I’m going to get everything I want because it’s my birthday! Everything I want, of course, is a waffle for breakfast, a haircut, a movie (probably Harry Potter) and to spend the rest of the evening playing EverQuest. I’m not that hard to please. Corr ---

Moderately so. I’ll probably wear a sweater long enough to cover my waist after I unbuckle my belt and top button on my pants and collapse on the couch in a turkey-induced stupor. Ahh…the holidays. ---

Well, if I went to my family’s Thanksgiving dinner in anything but jeans I’d just get funny looks. But I’m not going to Thanksgiving dinner; it’s too far to come home from college this year, so I’ll be eating at a teacher’s house, and I’ll probably put on a skirt and sweater to be on the safe side. ---

I’ll be wearing hospital scrubs. ---

I thought you meant [this type of dressing up](http://pics.sluggy.com/comics/011121a.gif). Since we aren’t doing anything I plan on being casual all day. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-you-dress-up-for-thanksgiving/94194.md?page=1)
