Thanksgiving a plenty

As I have written before, I love Thanksgiving. Let me ammend that statement. I love Thanksgiving food. I have been known to stuff myself with so much stuffing that I start to resemble a turkey with its big round belly.

In my 30 years, I have only spent 15 of them with my own family. Luckily, it is a holiday in which strays are welcomed, even desired. Over the years, I have witnessed a lot of tradtions.

Sometimes they come in the form of food:

- B's family eats noodles & cheese and meat stuffing.
- V's family eats meat and rice stuffing.
- C's family eats Great Grand Aunt Houton's burbon sweet potatoes.

Sometimes they come in form of the things you do:

- ET#2's family dress up in costumes.
- T's family plays football.
- G goes to Paris with his best guy friends.

Sometimes they are a combination of the two:

- S's family fry a whole turkey in their front yard.

But in the end, no matter what happens it is always going to be good.
