My family is very traditional and they do it all up in the traditional manner with cranberry sauce and everything. We even start the morning with a traditional biscuits and gravy breakfast. I don't know anyone who doesn't do a traditional meal. We also go to the same home several years in a row. Growing up it was my aunts house. Now we go to my sisters. Everything is expected to happen a certain way on Thanksgiving day. You have to watch the parade. Someone has to start a football game. The television is turned to either football or nascar after the meal as well. We only do this once a year and I don't ever eat cranberry sauce even on Thanksgiving day.
There is also at least ten people at dinner generally fifteen or more. This is a time to get together in our family and be thankful for each other. Thanksgiving is also a time when everyone gets together. Our parents are divorced but they both go to my sisters home on the same day and we get to have one time a year when we all sit down to a meal and enjoy being with everyone. Thanksgiving is unlike any other holiday or time of the year. It is my favorite because all is right on that one day.
