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!

Antoniajames....totally unconventional setting with a delicious sounding (and looking !) "traditional" meal...brilliant.
Eatboutique!
Eatboutique - who could resist that adorable, cuddly Ruby.
Eatboutique
Eat Boutique - lovely, cozy setting
My vote goes to Eat Boutique - that smoked turkey looks pretty amazing
I vote for The Barn. For me, that's what Thanksgiving is all about - food and family and friends. What a beautiful setting.
Ahhh, such a dream to do this. I love that you planned this outing and celebrated together in such a beautiful and intimate way. What better way to give thanks. My vote goes to AntoniaJames
Antonia James! Very special.
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.
csheago - beautiful photos!
my vote is for gerriH: love the close ups of the food. and i appreciate the vegetarian gravy. can you post the recipe?
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.
great selection. i think gerri hernandez really did the best shoot here. great photos!
What a great selection. Tough choice between AntoniaJames and eatboutique but I'm going with eatboutique.
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...
GerriH rocks. My vote!
GerriH is my definite favorite!! Very inspiring, beautiful pictures!
AntonioJames probably had the nicest day, but my vote goes to eatboutique. Loved the table setting!
AntoniaJames. What a lovely tradition and a perfect setting to be thankful.
Thank you. Gratitude feeds the soul and spirit, on any occasion.
AntoniaJames...she must live in my back yard. My family also does a hike and eat day. We spend the morning hiking around Point Reyes National Seashore, and a quick hike up Black Mountain. Then home to fire and food and wine, of course.
Well, not quite in your backyard, but close enough! I'm down in the East Bay, just south of Berkeley. We should have a potluck after the New Year for any Food52 people who live in or are visiting the Bay Area. My place is centrally located and available! Contact me privately, anyone who is interested.
Love to! I left you a message (assuming I sent it correctly...)
They are all lovely, but my vote goes to csheago. I'm a sucker for black and white!
Very tough choice! They are all lovely, but when I saw the second photo is csheago's series I was sold (and immediately wanted to be there in that barn kitchen helping out!)
All of them were so fun to look at but my vote is Eat Boutique!
GerriH, Yeah!!
This is so hard! All so unique...I'm going with jestei!
AntoniaJames had the Thanksgiving of movies and novels. It looked beautiful and gets my vote.
Eat Boutique is wonderful !! Gets my vote
Wow, such great photos - I'm not surprised you had trouble choosing only 3! These are all lovely snapshots of the holiday, but as we are a family of two, AntoniaJames' intimate Thanksgiving picnic really resonated with me. She gets my vote.
I love the coyote and the barn's amazing, but Eat Boutique best overall gets my vote.
These are all so pretty - it will be tough to choose. I would love to go hiking for Thanksgiving, that looks like it was so much fun.
Eat Boutique gets top honors.
I love Wawona; I know Gerri and Torkil, but Eat Boutique is terrific.
They are all wonderful and unique. My vote goes to csheago - partly due to barn-envy.
They're all fantastic, and I love that Antonia James hiked with her dinner. Eat Boutique gets my vote for her gorgeous photos.
Really wonderful photo essays. I couldn't possibly vote for just one.
Eat boutique, so inspiring.
eat boutique gets my vote. so beautiful!
Eat boutique, so inspiring.
I can see why you couldn't narrow it down but Eat Boutique gets my vote for sure!
Eat Boutique.
eat boutique!
Definitely eatboutique!
The Thanksgiving Slide Show from Eat Boutique definitely gets my vote!
Love them all (makes me hungry just looking at them), but Eat Boutique's photos made me drool. Love it!
Gerri H and her Iron chef respect vegetables, so i vote for them.
