Wow, I’ve never done any of these things, nor has my father. For one thing, since no one can cook a decent turkey, we never eat turkey. When we do, it’s my grandmother who does all the carving because there are always heavy politics surrounding who gets what piece of meat.

As for delivering meals, it sounds like a good thing to do, but I’ve never even heard of it.

I hate football, and most other organized sport, especially watching them on tv. My father only has a slight passing interest in it. There’s nothing to bond over.

Since I’ve always lived in cities and areas without deciduous forests, I’ve never had either raking or leaf piles (let alone lawn care). However, reading calvin and hobbes does make me wish that I did have such opportunities.

Finally, as my family is not at all religious, “grace” has never been a part of meals, even on thanksgiving.

I’ll cheer for the Lions thank you. And Hell will freeze over before I ever cheer for the Cowboys– I’d become an Obama drone before I’d cheer for the Cowboys….ok, I wouldn’t go THAT far but you get the idea ;)

The Cowboys are lower than whale sh_t in my book.

Seriously, I need to start taking “saying grace” a little more seriously.

What can I say? The comments above are America, by and large they are a peek into the breadth of what Thanksgiving is for many of us. Thanks men.

My family has always had the tradition of making spaghetti carbonara the night before Thanksgiving. It’s not much, but it’s nice to get the immediate family together before the relatives arrive the next day.
