Is it weird that there isn't a Christmas box yet listed for the Nov order?

Last year was the first time that a holiday meal box was offered. I am really not sure what to expect.

I am wondering now if perhaps this one box was meant to cover all the holidays rather than having separate orders for each.

 

Yet it is listed as "Thanksgiving box" so I assume a Xmas box is also coming/being offered

It's called Thanksgiving Holiday box. I assumed that meant the Thanksgiving holiday as well but maybe they have a different opinion on what the word holiday covers. LOL!

 

All the talk about a possible separate Christmas holiday box got me curious so I went to the AFM website & pulled up last year's menus for Nov. & Dec.  Looks like the only difference between the 2 boxes was that the ham wasn't included in the Thanksgiving box & it was $5 cheaper. Still, I wonder what they'll do this year.  :)

I had forgotten that a Thanksgiving box was offered last year. I was thinking this was the first year it was done.

 

I didnt remember either Brandy .. But remember the Christmas story DH and I  discussed Angel story he was on his way to town he stopped and paid for it mean while I stopped by the church and ordered .. my SIl and my other Sil ordered . Needless to we were  well blessed ..

he calls and double checks with me ...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

DH will be home in a bit will he and I will pick up the Angel food .tomorrow ..  I am hoping we order then ..

I am thinking four signature boxes and the produce box. I will discuss this with my husband before I order. I thought the produce special looks good. I will let every one know for sure what I order when i place my order.

I remember that they had the Thanksgiving and Christmas box last year. I didn't order the thanksgiving box but I did order the Christmas box. Then after I ate the Christmas box I wish I ordered the Thanksgiving one. God has been good to help provide the holiday specials again this year. I hope it this an on going thing every year.

I'm excited about the November fruit & veggie box. I plan to use the veggies to make vegetable soup/stew with meat, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. We also need to add more fruit to our diet anyway and this will encourage me to do so. If I get the signature box I can add the zucchini and cauliflower to the stew. My mother would hide vegetables in our stew by chopping it very small or putting it through the blender so us kids could not identify it.

I don't like broccoli at all, so I guess I will give that to someone else.

 

I haven't done AF in a couple of years. I'm happy to see the quality seems to have improved and the choice of the fruit/veggie box. I've already ordered my Thanksgiving Holiday Box. My son is 18 and has some friends on their own who have little family contact. I have offered to cook Thanksgiving dinner for them and the AF box will make that easy to plan and prepare.

the AF box will make that easy to plan and prepare.

That is what I am thinking as well. My husband wanted a less demanding holiday meal so I am looking forward to seeing the foods and preparing the meal. I also bought one for my daughter as a Christmas gift.
