Thanksgiving

My thanksgiving experience is a fairly traditional one in terms of food. We eat turkey, gravy, stuffing, ham, pumpkin pie, etc.. However the rest of the day isn't as typical. I have thanksgiving with family friends I have known for years. There are usually about nine or ten of us, and we gather at a house around 4, eat at 5, and don't stop until 8 or 9. We eat a lot like everyone else and afterwards sit around like the lards we are. Instead of watching a football game we usually play a game such as fictionary, dominoes, or charades and tell our many running jokes. Or we tease someone about their dish that didn't quite go according to plan (of which there are many). I wouldn't say that thanksgiving is a particularly special holiday for my family, but we always have fun and eat a lot.
