I invite all my family to come join in of the day, We visit and play games the younger adults usually go outside and play with the kids if weather is permitting the older adults sit around play domino's or cards and visit.
I spend 2 1/2 full days prior preparing the food, baking pies etc.. I smoke a turkey or two, make the candied yams, mashed potato's and gravy, green bean casserole, home made dinner roles, and cranberry sauce and don't forget the stuffing,
now look what you did you made me hungry.

my family usually celebrates it at my grandmas house a week before or after the "real" thanksgiving because that's usually when my uncle comes down from Alaska. we have Lasagna, eggplant casserole, oyster dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, nasty cranberry sauce that no one touches, and some strange cake concoction my grandma comes up with (she once put a can of fruit cocktail into an angelfood cake recipe covered it with cool whip and called it "better than sex cake" I'm still a virgin but I sure hope sex is better than that cake was).
last year on the actual thanksgiving my mom and I volunteered at the senior center. I was in charge of the dessert table. Then my brother busted his collarbone because he was an idiot as usual and we spent from 3 pm- 3 am at the hospital and then up at children's hospital in St Louis. and let me tell you it's REALLY hard to find anything to eat at 3 am thanksgiving night.

My mother in law usually makes a turkey dinner (turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce). My husband and I bring the kids over to eat and watch football.
That's pretty much it... eating, and loving the family. Lots of people go shopping the next day because we have it off of work, but I never do because the stores are way too crowded.
Some people in my neighborhood start putting up Christmas lights that weekend.

as my anscestors did, before the Earth slept for another season of bitter cold and howling winds...my belly full around the fire with my sisters and brothers and cousins enjoyed the harvest home on the banks of the Kennebec River In Maine abbrv. ME>Wild turkey, corn, squash, potatos, pies, venison, lobster. clams, scallops, ...Heaven....is where my home is. It's as real as I choose to remember. Hope is alive in my soul and my memory. The litlle grl Named Hope was my grand neice. Reality break! She was killed in the dawn of a new millenium by a drunken driver. I know I'm In Hell because its the only place where children should be safe but aren't...right here and now.

Why don't you find a similar species to the Bison and try to hunt it to extinction, or failing that steal the land off an indigenous population? Perhaps you could invade an oil-rich middle-eastern country?

I like to wander the streets to find some unfortunate homeless person and bring them to a motel room to let them take a shower then give a most excellent meal; then leave them to have a good night's sleep. It is the way of giving thanks, no?
