Happy Thanksgiving - What are you doing?

[Ziggy]

Well I'm back and bloated. I don't stuff myself, but a Thanksgiving dinner makes you tired and/or sick anyway. Time for some DKC Returns!

[Dakinggamer87]

I will be having dinner with my family and playing Donkey Kong Country Returns on Wii with my brother. A lazy day eating good food and playing some great games!!

[Ziggy]

Place around the corner got their Christmas trees in today, and a house around the corner had all their Christmas lights up already. I'll wait until at least December 1rst before I get myself into Xmas mode.

BUMP!

I made this thread a year ago? Seems longer when I think about it.

So what's up, guys!?

[Luke]

Well, I woke up early as usual, and completed a few sales reports as the period is about to end. I'll be going to work on Friday, and possibly Saturday to help with an inventory check. The warehouse is almost 1,000,000 sq. ft. so there is plenty of inventory to account for. I'm the director of e-commerce, so this will be completely new to me, but hey, I'm happy to help. Due to this, my wife and I will be driving separately (bummer) as she's going to hang with her parents until Saturday.

Today will be spent with the in-laws, and at my wife's Grandparents house which without a doubt will have the thermostat set at "molten lava". It's always a good time, but it's much different from Thanksgiving with my family. At my house we eat as soon as the Turkey is done. Steaming potatoes, stuffing, Turkey, ya know, the usual stuff. At the in-laws the Turkey is already sitting out, and then we sit on the couch for about an hour. The food is usually served lukewarm, at best. No tv, no football, no Macy's parade, no music, no wine, no booze. Not that the lack of these things takes away from fun (I'm kidding myself here) but for some reason it doesn't seem like a holiday; it's just like any day after church. I'd love to have Turkey day here, but old traditions die hard.

Without a doubt it will be fun, but when I think about Thanksgiving I always think about hearing either Beethoven or a Football game in the background, hot steaming turkey, and champagne toasts. Well that, and my parents falling asleep on the couch before 7pm.


Oh! Does anyone around here do that "tell us something you're thankful for" thing during dinner? Boy can that make for some odd situations.

Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving to all!

We alternate between my parents and the in-laws each year. This year it's turkey (hopefully a ham) at the in-laws. I'll be keeping with tradition and hauling a box of board games to play after the initial feeding. We'll probably do 6-player Catan at one table and Bananagrams and Abalone at a few card tables. Should be a fun day!

At my mother's house, waiting for some Turkey / contemplating opening the wine early. Sonic Advance 2 is waiting for me later when I am so full of food that I become immobile.

[noiseredux]

did you guys see Sonic in the parade???

[Ziggy]

Oh, so they DO still have floats in the parade. All I've seen so far is musical numbers.

[Flake]

did you guys see Sonic in the parade???

No TV here so no parade. I have seen pictures of the float, though. Awesome.

BTW: Among all the things I am thankful for, I am thankful for good Sonic the Hedgehog games in 2011.
