    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.....

    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 !

    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
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

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