Here's a collection of comments from our friends and customers about the traditions that make their family holidays so special:
"After we eat, we watch old family videos and give the youngest member of the family the turkey drumstick for a photo op."
"My three sisters and I always show up the night before Thanksgiving to help Mom cook the meal. I started helping when I was 6 (some 47 years ago), and our tradition hasn't changed at all since then."
"We always find someone who is spending the holiday alone and invite them to join us."
"Everyone brings a covered dish, and whoever has dinner at their house is responsible for making the turkey."
"We all pile in vans and drive around looking for light displays. Then we go back and have leftovers."
"We always eat a big breakfast while watching the parade, and spend the rest of the day watching football, napping and cooking."
"We would enjoy a great meal, and for us kids it was usually one of the first snow days of the season. Those were the good old days, and I miss them. I'd love to be able to set the clock back."
"Breaking the wishbone."
"Everyone having a drink of wine after we said our prayer."
"I always got a new dress for Thanksgiving."
"Carving the turkey was always a big part of our tradition."
"The long walk after dinner to work off all that food."
"Getting out the good china and silver each year and setting the table. That always meant that dinner was nearly ready!"
"Going sledding in the morning before we all sat down to a big dinner."
