My answer to this is to think about what thanksgiving is really about. I mean how much true appreciation is shown by gathering together, being gluttonous and slothful and then complaining about the turkey for the next three weeks.
I have decided that to show my appreciation for the blessings that have been bestowed upon me and my family, thanksgiving will be a time where I will share those blessing. Many ways that can be done are inviting someone who does not have family nearby and would be alone that day over for dinner. Bringing dinners to those who could not afford a turkey or thanksgiving meal, visiting people in nursing homes whose families are too busy with Thanksgiving gorging and football to visit them , volunteer your time at ahomless shelter. This will have a much longer lasting effect and cause you to truly be thankful for oyur blessings throughout the year then the normal Thanksgiving traditions. These traditions, to me, reflect what the holiday is truly meant to be about.

I used to hate Thanksgiving. One day I just started to love it.Maybe because I have a son who has the day off the day after and I have to work later in the day on Black Friday. So I can enjoy it more. Yeah the food thing really can make you feel like crap if you over do it. But who can help to not over do it. Sometimes it is the only day you eat certain foods, and I want to make the most of it.

I hate it because my birthday falls on it every 4 years. I have never had a b-day party. Its all about the turkey. And everyone coming and going. And I gain at least 5-10 pounds. I only eat out of being bored. But I love the football.

I love the Thanksgiving for the food, and family being together.
Things have changed too much now. All of the old country farm families are baout gone. It used ot be around here on Thanksgiving and Christmas you would visit relatives and friends and eat a little everwhere i fyuou wished. nOw we are all so fractioned by distance , death and marriage that the old way is about gone.
I miss it. It really a day to be thankful, even for the non religious as it signaled the start of this country.

The really mean thing about Thanksgiving is the way that the poultry "industry" tries to rush so many fattened turkeys to market by force feeding, chemical injections etc. Turkey is the WORST thing you can eat at Thanksgiving time, folks. Try an alternative, or stick with corn, beans and squash like the Pilgrims did.

Yes, it is the holiday some of us love to hate. My suggestion would be to plan. Yes the holiday is around "food", but this Thanksgiving I challenge you to focus on the family and friends that are present. Perhaps this might ease some of the over-eating (I know I'm guilty of that myself during this holiday)

I like Thanksgiving because of the good food, what I don't like about it is all the cleaning to do afterwards like with the dishes and such because I usually the one who ends up having to do it. Now the ideal Thanksgiving meal would be to go out to eat, that way there is no cleaning up afterwards to deal with.

Be different and eat all you want
take that turkey and cut it into many pieces
pieces you can dip into a hot sauce made of jalapeno
and cilantro with lemon and garlic a little sugar
with a nice salad
4get all them pies & sweet potatoes
Do thanksgiving up your way
be creative and do not allow the fat monster near you

All holidays that are celebrated in the United States are economically based. "Hey Santa will get you things if you're good." What a mind F... on our children. Okay we can lie to our kids for years and years but still expect them to be "normal" Think for yourselves. Holidays destroy regular people and benefit a few...
