The Monday Muse: Thanksgiving Traditions

Having already participated (which means stuffed my face) in four Thanksgiving meals, I am seeing turkey day as more of a week long celebration than a one day event. I am set to break a personal record for more meals and most weight gained in a single holiday. One thing I enjoy about getting together with friends for Thanksgiving is hearing about all of the different family traditions for this holiday. Some families play flag football or board games while others enjoy a long nap in front of TV watching the Detroit Lions get crushed again. My family doesn’t really have much of a tradition other than getting together for lunch and laying around the rest of the day. For us, it is a good time to just enjoy each other’s company and relax from the hectic schedule of normal life. So in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday this week, I want to hear about your family traditions.

What kind of Thanksgiving Day traditions does your family have?
