    Do you do anything traditional for Thanksgiving? For instance, do you feast, visit family and/or friends, play video games, wait for Black Friday, etc.

    For me, I generally hang out with friends and have a feast with them, then spend some time with my family for dinner.

    I usually cook the foods for my family and then watch a movie together with them.

    Usually have the family together at the grandmothers, then cook a large feast and exchange a few presents for the younger ones.

    Interesting. I wouldn't have the time to travel to meet up with my other family members, so I usually stay where I'm at and celebrate Thanksgiving there. I do have large feasts, but usually don't distribute presents until Christmas.

    I live in EU, so there is no such thing as thanksgiving, BUT I have a thanksgiving tradition. Every thanksgiving I log on AQW and complete the Kung Food achievment. Its an achievement which gives you a badge first time you complete it, so I do it just for fun every single year.

    i go to my grandparent's house and we have a toast (clinking miniature glass cups with cider) and everyone disagrees with each other over the littlest things for fun (i hope) while the tv plays football in the background and everyone gets full off of mashed potatoes and gravy with turkey really fast

    Interesting. I'm not really a sports fan, so I don't watch sports, and I'm not a huge fan of mashed potatoes as "mashed" food isn't really my type of thing. I do like turkey served with some gravy, some bread, some corn, and other food. Not really a fan of cranberry sauce, so my Thanksgiving is a little different than everyone else's. And I usually play games with family members or friends at the time because they're usually available. I feel like sports could be saved for another time since Thanksgiving is usually about spending time with family and friends.

    I'm not one for traditions but my Mom is always trying to get us to read about the pilgrims as a family and share everything we are thankful for.

    It's almost that time of the year again. So far I've been eating a lot of pumpkin pie, and I'm already getting tired of it, so I might hold off on eating pumpkin pie until Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving plan this year is to go out and eat out early for lunch, spend time with family, then eat out at some friend's house in the evening. Not too different from previous years.
