Well we've got the food thread going, so i figured i might as well ask this. What traditions do you guys have for good old turkey day? For me its putting on Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie.

hehe ahmen xivk i cant watch an action movie without being reminded of the lack of realism in the action every five seconds its "an ak-47 would cut him in half not wound him" or "that explosion would have killed everyone in the building" and don't dare get him started on WW2 seriously

fist fights dont last long in my family most of the time me or my younger bro break them up, as we are the biggest

My current tradition is to pull a double shift at work and make a left-over sandwich the next day. Granted, it's not a lot of fun, but all that extra holiday pay certainly is nice.

Have turkey or ham, mash potatoes and gravy, a vegetable, bread, and pie. Then me and my family decorate the christmas tree.

It basically a dinner at the table with immediate family. Then, depending on how we feel, it could be the television or board games, and then being comatose on the couch or whatever we lie on.

Breakfast with my grandparents, then lunch with my godparents, then dinner with everyone else at my uncle's house.

Then the next day me and my parents head down to my uncle's to go look for Christmas trees. The real kind, not the fake ones. Though I dunno if my parents are gonna make it this year, since they moved further north. I've offered to let them stay with me, and so has my uncle, so hopefully they'll come.

Its a family tradition of mine to gather with my family for Thanksgiving, as most do. We have a Turkey and a glazed ham, but my favorite part is the sweet yams my father makes. ^_^

Oh, and its also tradition for one to remove one's pants before using the restroom. Very Happy
