It's silly. Maybe a little disturbing. Some think it's just gross.
But, since I was a kid, Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays and I've always loved the cranberry sauce that comes out of the can with the outline of the can molded into the...whatever that substance is.
The shape has changed over the years but to me it still means Thanksgiving.

I dont have any traditions for thanksgiving. well maybe I do... I DONT watch football. I DONT eat turkey. I DONT eat cranberry whatever. I DONT eat stuffing. I DONT see family that I cant stand all year long just because I am supposed to. Thanksgiving isnt much of a holiday to me(I dont really do much for any holiday), but I hated it growing up. all the old men watching football all day, food we didnt like. old women with smokers cough who hacked for hours on end.
BEEF ITS WHATS FOR DINNER...

Shooting thanksgiving moring is our family tradition.
Eating turkey, watching football with family, eating pumpkin pie, and playing cards and reminiscing....

Now that dinner's over, time to make the most important choice of the day:

Nice! Got a little of that left, too.
My vote would be for the Bulleit Bourbon.
Rye all the way!
And I like the canned cranberries too Carl!

I love the canned cranberries. But one year I did try the cranberry dipping sauce from the Good Eats special and it came out really nice.
Having grown up in Michigan I grew up watching football on Thanksgiving. I mean, our team invented it after all. So now I usually have it on while I cook and take some breaks to sit and watch.
Poured myself a Breckinridge bourbon earlier. Might have one more in a little bit.

Not much tradition. Big meal, with some form of family members. Turkey Sandwiches later that night or next day. (the whole reason for cooking the thing is for turkey sandwiches)
Board or card games with family that want to play. Monopoly tonight. We bankrupt my son, I was still alive with $1800, daughter had ~$5k and wife was queen with $10k in assets.
Day after, family will go see a movie at the theater.
I'll be working. Work the holidays when it's slow, take off days when things are busy. :)
When I was a yoot our family TG tradition was quail hunting and dinner at Uncle Harry and Aunt Loretta's outside Shattuck, OK. Good times.
Nowadays it's just stuffing my ass with groceries. Not as much as I used to, but I still make a respectable effort.
Haven't been quail hunting since the early 70's..... [facepalm]

We spent time with some extended family we've become friends with over the year
Christmas is the same, only different extended family.
Like others who moved to CO having little or no family. We've been blessed for the good times, friends and loved shared. Hope everyone has the same.
If not we take in strays. BUT.......... come sundown EVERYBODY Leave !
Played Monopoly tonight for the first time in probably 25 years.

Sounds about right. I loved that game as a kid. Haven't played in at least that long.

Spend the day with extended family and the next day t seems the tradition is for me to dog sit while my son and his girlfriend go to Las Vegas for 3 days. His neighborhood is so quiet I enjoy the break [Coffee]

I'm picking up what HBAR is laying down. I'd rather sew all day than listen to football.

Mom's perogies. I miss them both.
My grandmothers cooking, I didn't eat traditional stuffing until I was 16, cause we're Chinese . We also ate thanksgiving at dinner time not in the afternoon. My grandmothers to old now to cook for our large family.
I hated going there's as a teen, but now can't wait to see them and appreciate every holiday we get to spend together as a family. Not sure how many more will have, and it sucks...
Our tradition is prime rib and canned cranberry....delicious

Sundown?!?!? That's like 430 in the afternoon.... I guess some people need their beauty rest.

Late, I know but we're doing Thanksgiving on Tuesday. Ahhhh, the casino life.
My tradition for the last 20 years or so is honey smoking a giant bird all day, drinking copious amounts of PBR and Bulleit and chilling with my brother who I see maybe twice a year. Can't wait.

^^ Never too late. Mrs BG and I often celebrate Thanksgiving and my b-day on the same day due to weird work schedules and such. It's not about a day on the calendar anyway.
Obviously, it's about the Bulleit!

same thing in my family. Give us the wiggly jiggly stuff out of the can any day. No need for the fancy crunchy chunky yuppie stuff.
