around my house, it was always one of the two times that we got extended family together, and friends who had gone away to college or other adult life came home to visit.

so, thanksgiving to me has always been more about the family time, conversation and catching up with loved ones than about the turkey.

tho, my dad DOES make the best thanksgiving dinner in the entire world, hands down. and we eat it for weeks afterwards.

yum!

the food is way WAY secondary...

What kind of American household doesn't shape their entire Thanksgiving day around football?

Ah, grandma has first say, and that means Oprah. One year it was pretty cool because Oprah was interviewing Harry Potter after his first movie. But usually there's, maybe an hour of football time altogether.

If you know anything from my past behavior, I treat every day like Thanksgiving.

IE: Jenn and I eating KFC at your birthday. Sorry, I still can't get over that.
