Congratulations to her, and thanks to all who shared their Thanksgiving photos and memories with us!

 

After looking through all of the great entries for the Thanksgiving Slide Show Contest, we simply couldn't narrow the submissions to three. So, we're giving you five instead! Have a look through the photos -- which are wonderfully mouthwatering and often moving -- and vote for the slideshow you think should win a food52 tote by writing your choice in the comments section below. You have until next Thursday, 12/10 at noon EST, when we'll tally up the votes and then announce the winner the following morning.

Good luck to all of the contenders!

I vote for The Barn. For me, that's what Thanksgiving is all about - food and family and friends. What a beautiful setting.

This is NOT easy--they're all terrific! While Eatboutique is gorgeous and "magazine ready", I love The Barn in black & white and the story the photos tell. Voting for csheago.

Eatboutique, purely on the strength of that smoked turkey! But all the contestants are great.

They are all so great! But I'm going with Antonia James. At least partly because I live at the base of Mt Tam that she talks about and it made me want to spend Thanksgiving the way she did. In a simple way in nature, feeling thankful. Really nice.

ah, a rather difficult choice- too much slideshow loveliness going around. i vote for AntoniaJames, as her story and photos of the surroundings captured my fancy. what an utterly beautiful way to spend Thanksgiving.

"Eat boutique"
Love the little story.
You can feel the passion of cooking, and having people, the display look's great.
It' s the kind of table i would love to seat around...
