    We have lasagna every year for Thanksgiving. Yum!
    Except this year because my sister will be with her in-laws so I offered to do a traditional dinner at my house. Something different.

    Involves massive amount of rum & vodka (I got me a DRINKING horn to break in!), lots of fun adult activities and hours & hours of video games.

    In case your wondering - the only "child" in the house goes MEOW >/\_/\<

    We (myself & hubs) are already fighting over the big TV and who has to move what console to the other (slightly smaller but only 720p) TV. So far I'm winning - Skyrim needs to be played LIFE FLIPPING SIZED (60" HD/3D TV w/ true surround sound - so that crap creeping up behind you scares the crap out of you)

    This year we have no special plans for lunch with family (weird for us) so when I got a good buy an a turkey pastrami we made a plan to make ruben sandwiches tomorrow with it. The rye bread was just taken out of the freezer. We are also planning to go to see a movie tomorrow afternoon.

    THIS sounds like an awesome Thanksgiving!

    We usually rent a big house on Hatteras Island and bike, run, walk on the beach, play cards and put together jigsaw puzzles...this year, though, we are taking a Christmas trip instead so it will be off to my cousins house for an uncomfortable dinner with 50 of our closest family members...missing Hatteras dearly right now.

    The positvie thought is there will be a bigger variety of PIE!!! I'm hanging on to that thought....

    Share them.

    Well, unless you're Canadian because apparently you guys aren't thankful for anything.

    GASP! Are you kidding me? We were thankful weeks ago!

    I am a little obsessed with bouncy houses, so I like to use any excuse to rent them. My husband rented one for me on thanksgiving a few years ago just cuz he loves me. (Big cheesy smile) It has become a tradition now (woot woot) we rent a bouncy slide every thanksgiving!

    When we were younger, we used to drink apple cider in champagne glasses thinking it was cool.

    A lot of the food in addition to the turkey and stuffing is mediterranean/indian, not including the stuff brought over by family. A lot of chai instead of apple cider, and tons of cumin and pomegranate seeds in everything.

    Almost every year, we also have pizza because so many vegetarians that come over.

    We almost always have two turkeys every year plus a chicken, because my dad seems to mess up the turkey everytime. -_-

    My uncles/older cousins get kind of drunk/tipsy every year and somehow our living room becomes a dance floor from 11pm-2am.

    There's ALWAYS someone sleeping on the couch the next morning. We also always run out of pillows. They pretty much disappear.

    My cousins, siblings, and I will play monopoly for 2-3 hours EVERY SINGLE YEAR. My cousins and I are slightly tipsy so mess up the math and buy everything while siblings actually try to win. It's a lot of fun! The couple of times we actually "finished", I think I won twice without even trying!

    I have an uncle that goes around filming EVERYTHING. I have no idea why, but I remember seeing a lot of pictures of me eating mid-bite and drinking and laughing and making funny faces. Then he puts them up and sends a mass email of them to everyone -_-

    So many more, but can't remember them!!!
