With turkey day a day a way, does anyone think what Lizzie might be doing?
Maybe inviting friends over or inviting them over to here place?
Any sugestions?

I imagine Lizzie invitied a few friends over to her house, Snokks. She probably had her staff cook up a big meal. I find it a little harder to believe Lizzie being invited out by her friends to a public restaurant. I don't know how her friends would feel about being seen in public with Lizzie. Kind of like going out to dinner with O.J. It is possible that Lizzie traveled to New York or another big city during the holidays to shindig with her friends, perhaps not being recognized by the public.

In Lizzie's final years I see Lizzie having a smaller dinner for just herself and her staff. Lizzie may have given her staff the day off and just ate a pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinner by herself.

Either way, I think Lizzie's later holiday meals and times were somewhat lonely, especially with Emma gone.

I always imagined her having a small dinner party too. Nothing real major, just a few close friends.

I wonder sometimes what Lizzie must have been thinking and feeling during those last few lonely holidays. Knowing she killed her Parents (if she did), the town against her and her and Emma estranged. She must have wondered how things would have been different if she hadn't picked up that hatchet.

All that wealth, the nice house, the fancy car. I wonder what real pleasure it all brought her in those last years, what she thought as she looked out those windows at the world that turned it's back on her.

Maybe her own burial, so close to her Parents, was her own sad way of getting back together with them, to be a family again, to make amends, to say, "I'm sorry."

Whatever happened, rest in peace, Lizzie.

Allegedly.
Don't forget she was acquitted.
But that is very nice sentiment you guys...thanks.
