Unusual Thanksgiving Traditions
Next week, I'm planning a report on some of the unusual Thanksgiving traditions that don't seem to have anything to do with that first feast in 1621. Whether it's bowling frozen turkeys, frying thawed turkeys, or passing up turkey for another meal altogether, we know there are a lot of offbeat traditions out there.
Tell us yours!

I will go to the mall for shopping in the morning on Thanksgiving Day. I can get a lot of cheaper goods on that day. So I can buy whatever I want such as the new laptop, new clothes, new shoes, new school bags even. In my opinion, I will have a good day at that moment ! Just enjoy the rare discount everywhere. I love it .
I will play with my friends and held a party with my classmates . It will be interesting, isn't it ? hah,my parents promised to me, they will go shopping with me. It is a long time before my last shopping together with my parents. I am enjoying staying with my parents and looking forward to the Thanksgiving Day's coming.
Every year we go on top of the house and start yelling the words to the chicken dance while also doing the chicken dance. Then later we go to my favorite restaurant to eat turduckin. A chicken inside of a duck inside of a turkey.
There are a lot of wierd traditions on the Earth, but my family is kind of wierd. All the other boys go and sit down and watch the football games while I help all the moms and girls in the kitchen with the food. I love to help cook! I feel kind of weird.
well my family has a very traditional thanksgiving week.
Monday:clean the house.
Tuesday:buy all the food for the dinner
Wednsday:prepare all food to be cooked, and thats when all of the out of town people come to the house.
Thursday: big day everybody cooks something, then feast time
Friday : spend time with the family, then we all go out shopping
Saturday: go out either to the movies or somewhere fun
Sunday: we chill at home all day and going back home, and start living our normal lives.
What my family does is we all go shopping and pack all of the food the night before.The morning of we cook the food we bought and then feat like kings.
People have different traditions and celebrate in many ways but even if it doesnt relate to the original feast, its up to them on how to celebrate this holiday.
every thanksgiving my brother has this weird tradition of putting on a skit in which he acts as if he's lost his memory of who he is and who the rest of his family is.
Even though creating funky traditions on Thanksgiving doesn't have anything to do with the original Thanksgiving, it makes our nation unique from all of the other traditional nations, and I think that is pretty cool.
I go to my Grandma's and I get to see family I haven't seen in FOREVER! Then we all go in the backyard and draw on the patio what we are all thankful for... Then we go back inside and eat...
I don't have much of a Thanksgiving tradition. When i go to Maryland, we go bowling Thanksgiving morning. On Christmas though, we watch A Christmas Story. I know almost all the linea because this tradition has been going on forever! We also give each other an ornament that signifies something big that has happened to us this year.
My family either goes on a cruise or eats a Thanksgiving dinner with friends, family, and neighbors.
Every couple of years I get a double holiday because my birthday is November 24! This year happens to be one of those years. So at Thanksgiving we have pie along with birthday cake! Then i get up at 1:30 am for Black Friday shopping. It's a great weekend!
My dad always makes us try his new flavor cranberry sauce.
my tradition is to kick back relax and enjoy my turkey and stuffing and desert got to have that desert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The way I celebrate Thanksgiving is with my friends and family and give thanks to each other and to the Lord as well. Thanksgiving was and still is a momentous occasion that the pilgrims brought when they were on the Mayflower and shared food and joy with the Indians as we do today with each other and we're so glad that Thanksgiving became such a wonderful and joyous holiday too.
My family usually goes on black fridays, even though its very hectic we all have a ton of fun.. as long as the family is together.
This year, shoppers and buyers will be overloading stores and causing rampages to get whatever they need that's on sale dramatically. Black Friday, not green is a holiday to just waste your delicate money on worthless groceries anyways.
i think it really doesn't matter what you do. its having family time and you're supposed to enjoy it.
my thanksgiving tradition is eating some turkey and having some eggnog then i always go and hang out with my friends it has always been a great tradition
It might sound weird but we play turkey football.
We usually invite our whole family. Then we get to gether and go shopping and last we end the day with a big table filled with different types of foods.
These unique Thanksgiving traditions is what makes the United States such a wonderful country. We are very modern in our styles and are not held back in the past.
I like thanksgiving
well first its different because they arent causin and have many different religons so if i get up at 9:00am someone in hawii might get up at 4:00 its just culture:)
My Thanksgiving tradition is that Thanksgiving week is when my family starts writing up our Christmas wish list so we can stand in line on Black Friday to get some of the presents early.
I think it's the best way but, it might be tiring for people shopping about in midnight.It's always turkey first and then do the holiday shopping with energy for shopping race....
We never ate a real turkey because we are vegetarians. So it is just the stuffing, yam, salad, and pie!
My family hollows out our turkey and then stuffs it with mashed potatoes. It works as a great bowl! When the mashed potatoes are gone, we cut up the turkey to eat!
we don't really celebrate Thanksgiving but when we do we like to eat chinese food
I think Black Friday is a weird tradition. Waking up at midnight just to go shopping is a crazy idea, when it could be done at daytime.
Usually, my family takes time to do many things on Thanksgiving. We buy a turkey,chicken,and duck and we bake all that in side of the turkey.We call it "TURKENCK". After we finish dinner,we have pumpkin pie,and disscuss what we will do for Black Friday. At 10:00 we take our sleeping bags,blankets,pillows and many other items. We also bring our leftovers,so when we are "shopstruck" we take a break and eat.My family usually finishes at 3:30 so, that is really the time we go over to my friends house and sleepover.
This year we have a change of plans......
I'M GOING TO A WEDDING!!!!
I plan to save up and buy a big gift for myself.
Every Thanksgiving I am always the one to say Grace before we start eating. Then we start talking about starting our Christmas shopping bright and early on Black Friday. But we always seem to wait three to five days after Black Friday because the stores are always way too crowded.
Hello, I'm from South Korea. Well..when I heard about the subject, I thought about Chuseok, the Korean Thanksgiving Day. We eat songpyon, a ricecake that we eats in Chuseok. Also,we play Gankang Suwollae, a game that lots of people take by the hand, and spin around with a music.
I belive Thanksgiving is for eating, sleeping, and watching football!

I'm from South Korea, and Koreans eat a cake that is made up of rice which is named "songpyeon". They put some small crops in there. It's really tasty. And, Koreans dance "kangkangsulae" which is our traditional dancing. And many of Koreans wish their dreams to come true staring at semicircle moon. And we wear "hanbok", the beautiful and colorful traditional wearing in Thanksgiving day in Korea.

we invite our family to our house and we give thanks for everthing that we recived and for keeping us alive as a family...
Thanksgiving isn't a reason for Black Friday it is a time to spend time with your family, going to Macy's, JCPenny, and Mall's. It's a time to watch football with your dad or rake leves with your or dad or both.
me and my family switch out every year one year we go to goergia wher my dads sister lives and sometimes we go next door to my aunts house and we make all kinds of good food

my thanksgiving dependes on my brothers football games if he wins his next game they will keep on going intill they lose or win the state championchip but if they win we stay home for thanksgiving but if they lose we are gonna go to ohio

Our family doesn't have one. For the last couple of years we went to our grand parents in Georgia then for a wedding the next then this year we are staying a home
The people that start it at the crack of dawn is unusal i think if your going to do that you should just take your whole family and eat out because you spend the whole day cooking then you eat just to wait to go to black friday
My family eats fast food. Then we go to fix some thanksgiving food to eat.
We cook turkey, mash potatos, corn, and stuffing. once we are done eating we would wach the thanks giving prade.
We have all different kinds of food like lots of pastas, turkey stuffing ham and more. Our thanksgiving is just like a normal family were we get around the table and each of us tells each other what we are thankful for.
We don't have weird traditions, but we do have a weird family. My oldest cousin was born on Thanksgiving, my other cousin was born on Easter, my sister was born on Christmas, and I was born on Halloween.
My moms side of the family goes to my gramma and papas farm for lunch. and after go deer hunting.
I don't think you could really say my family traditions are unusual. We eat, tell stories, then go outside and play in the snow! Its pretty basic but its just about spending time with family!
My family tradition is that we go to my grand parents house for dinner and 15 people that go to my grand parents house . When we go to my uncles house we have around 20 or 25 people at the most there and then e sometimes have a family football game and we just have fun seeing all of my family .
There are not many out-of-the-ordinary traditions that my family share, but we do enjoy cooking a nice big turkey while the Macy's Parade plays in the background on are TV. Since we're not close to relatives, sometimes we participate for Thanksgiving Dinner with friends we don't commonly see. Either way, we give thanks and spend priceless time with each other.
Our tradition is wake up early to warm the food up. Then later about 1 o'clock everyone gets together at a house and play games, dance, and play cards.
My family goes shopping on black friday. My mom says if you get every thing on black friday then you can get presents out of the way.
Things i do on thanksgiving night is get up at midnight and go shopping for the things i want for christmas.
on thanksgiving i watch the packer and lion game and eat a tuckery
On thanks giving what my family does is that we go to buy like 2 turkey all ready cook and we try each one and in the end we choose witch one is the best and we eat as a big family.
I have never went black friday shopping but instead my family and I went to the Wisconsin Dells. Every year we cook a regular Turkey dinner. This is fun every year and i can not wait to go this year.
My holiday tradition is to cook all the food and then my family comes over and then we watch the packer game and eat the food it is really good
My holiday tradition is cook all day then gather with all my family and friends and eat. then after we play some games and have a good time.

I plan on shopping on thanksgiving night. so it is not so packed. thats if I go. I might not go at all.
on thanksgiving i am watch the packer and lion game and eat a turkey and on friday iam going too tennese
A tradition that my family has for thanksgiving is that my extended family comes over and we eat a lot of meat, although not much of it is turkey.
I don't know if this is unusual, but to some people, it might be. Well the last two Thanksgivings' my family (including me) moved the dining table to the front room. then we moved the couch and the carpet (which belong to the living room) into the dining room. To me the first time I saw it like that those two room's looked weird. I hope we do that again on this Thanksgiving.
our unusual traditions are all the kids run around the house as fast as they can 10 times the winner gets a peice of each of 5 cakes as many pieces as they want. they also get the wish bone of they turkey
I don't personally go shopping for Black Friday but my mom wakes up super early. She goes to the store and when I get up shes gone then she comes home with lots of stuff. I sometimes see if she got me anything.
I think that it's the people choice of when they can go shopping and when they can't. But in my opinion, the shopping holiday is called Black Friday, not Black Thursday. So all the stores should open at the same time they opened last year.
My family doesn't usually go anywhere. Family usually comes to our house or we go over to a friends house. My mom doesn"t go shopping on black friday. Plus last year we didn't have turkey we had ham.
My family and I make thanksgiving sandwiches! We take all of then things that we had for dinner and put it on bread. Such as, turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. All made into one big yummy sandwich!
I'm a teacher in Wisconsin. We watch your show everyday. I go to Black Friday sales with my son. It's a new tradition where he carried the packages and I spend the money!
The whole family gets togetehr and the boys watch football while the girls cook. After our huge dinner, the girls go downstairs and talk while the boys clean up! Then we eat dessert and all watch football!
I usually go to my grandmothers and jump in her freezing pond in november. Then we play games and eat food. Then we sit down and watch what ever NFL game is on tv.
My thanksgiving tradition is, my mom makes these paper leaves and whoever is over for dinner, we write what we are thankful for on the card and we make a little banner and each year someone new gets it.
I'm going Black Friday shopping for the first time this year and I'm really excited.
I usually go out on Black Friday with my grandmother at midnight.
Everyday after thanksgiving for the past four years, my parents have gone shopping for the holidays without us. Now this year I am going with them. i am so excited because i am going to shop for a new laptop. 🙂
I have never gone shopping on black Friday because I HATE SHOPPING! It is boring,tiring,and useless. My mom never went shopping either, Im not sure when she goes shopping for christmas, but not with me!
Every year a week before Thanksgiving I went to my friends house and he said they always have Thanksgiving dinner a weak before the actual Thanksgiving.
I know you may like to shop on black friday but what about workers. They might not even get to eat Thanksgiving dinner with their family because they need sleep. I think black friday should be either moved and still be early or open later.
Black Friday is very fun. I love to shop, buy clothes that is cheap or on sale, and it is a good time to go buy Christmas gifts for kids. This is the only time you can get cheap electronics and clothes.
Our family's traditions are not too unusual, but we share our day with both pairs of grandparent's. I go to my dad's side of the family first which we have lunch with my cousins, then we go over to my mom's side of the family for dinner. Lots of turkey!
An unusual tradition for me would be going to see the new twilight movie every year with my family. It always comes out around thanksgiving so we always go see it(:
We always watch football at my grandmothers house and eat our dinners while eating. My grandmother makes the best homemade bread.
Sitting at the table as a family to eat and then playing games.
Play soccer with my family after eating Thanksgiving Dinner!
Every black friday after Thanksgiving, my mom and I start shopping at three a.m. and end up back home around two p.m. Plus, we act all cranky to everyone!!!
First my family cleans the house. The we decide what family is going to what house. If family comes to our house I lock my room so no one messes up my clean room. We have a huge dinner with two turkeys!
We go to my Granny's house play basketball, games, we eat, and then ride four wheelers.
We cook out on the barbecue and play footbal with my dad!
We eat lefse.
We cook a turkey and make all sorts of food. After we eat we play games and then I play in my room while trying to keep my little cousin out.
Every Thanksgiving, my Brother and I wake up to the smell of cinnamon rolls, both of us always wake up almost two minutes before the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and dive for the remote. In the end we watch two airings of the Thanksgiving parade-at the same time.
After we eat we play flag football!
We go to my Grandma's house and eat.
On Thanksgiving, my family has a family dinner with my aunt, uncle, and grandparents. We talk and then we all go home. While we sleep, my dad does some black friday shopping.
Every year on my moms side of the family, we go bowling after we finish eating. after bowling we come back and my grandma draws name for 3 cousins that get to do dishes and sleepover afterwords. On my dads side of the family, my grandpa put a slip with "Grace" on it underneath someones dinner plate and whoever sits there gets to say grace before dinner.
We watch football then we eat turkey with mashed potatoes and cake with ice cream in it then we play football outside then we go to a movie
We go to our Grandma's house, eat and play games!
My family every year goes to the same house eats the same things and play the same games every thanksgiving.
I hang outside with my cousins and step-brother until the food is ready. We eat, go back outside and then back inside for dessert.
We eat turkey and cornbread!
I don't think that people should wake up that early just to go to the store an shop.but it's smart to go early before other people get there before you because you going to have to wait in line behind everybody.
thanksgiving is gonna be a good day then come black Friday is gonna be even better fore some Christmas shopping even tho there gonna be lots of shoppers on that night. =)
I want to know more about black friday I think they shouldn't be doing black friday because the stores get full of people and people may get in fights or steal supplies from stores.
I think you should start your shopping on black friday cause prices are lower. more people come and clerks treat you with respect.
Well I have a lot of thanksgiving traditions.
The ones I have are...
I put jelly beans in the mashed potatoes.
My family freezes the cranberries.
We put a hat on the turkey.
I go hiking in utah every year
For thanksgiving, I go to my friend's house. Once we are there we would all cook the turkey together. Then, we would split up with kids downstairs and adults upstair. My friends and I would play games like catch the turkey. In catch the turkey, you would assign a people to be the turkey and the rest would catch the turkeys. We would then play other games that are very exciting. We eat turkey and ham, and we all play with eachother till midnight. Once it is close to midnight, we would all get in the cars and go shopping!
we try to carve the weirdest stuff out of wood or what ever we can get our hands on

We Celebrate My Birthday On Thanksgiving Its One Day Before Thanksgiving.
Every Thanksgiving I go to my aunts house in Wisconsin. We always play THANKSGIVING HISTORY TRIVIA! 🙂 & then we spend the night in a hotel with a waterpark 🙂
My family sleep in and don't go to the store really early. We go to my grandma's house for dinner and have turkey and all the other homemade fixings. Then to top it all of we have pumpkin pie with vinnilla icecream. That is what me and my family do on thanksgiving. 🙂

For Thanksgiving, I go to my grandma's and we pull on a wishbone. Whoever gets the longer side gets to make a wish. I really don't know why we do it. It's just something that I remember having always done. It's always a lot of fun.
For thanksgiving my family and I , Gather the hole family to my mom's house and we all bring food and cook alot of food. Tables are full with bowls and plates of food.
In my family we usually don't just eat traditional thanksgiving food. We like to eat Filipino food and Mexican food. We also do a thanksgiving gift exchange and we make it a game. The kids all roll dice and whatever number you get thats the present you get. The gifts can be stolen too, which makes it fun.
I don't have a comment i could care less about what im going to do about thanks giving im going to celebrate with the family get me some carne asada and eat and then go boxing.
Thanksgiving is not the same for me. me and my family go out and eat chinease food Yum!!!! then were going to go watch twilight ahaha! perfect thanksgiving atleast im spending time with my family:)
On Thanksgiving Day me and my family have pancakes for brakefast. Then we go to our favorite book store to get new books. After that we go home and read our new books. We don't eat lunch. So when it's time for diner,we get out the turkey and my mom's cranberry jello.
Our family has a very normal Thanksgiving. No traditions, other than eating good food. We cook all day Thurday and eat. That's how it should be, no complications, just food.
My family makes tamales and other mexican type food. We dont do the turkey thing like most people do. Sometimes we deep fry turkey, but not every year. Then we watch football games, sometimes we actually go to the game up in Fresno.
I go to sterling to visit my aunt veverly and aunt phylis and we stay at a hotel the we eather the church or to my aunts house to me i prefer the church itt is gitting a little to crouded at her house and i am not liking it but it is fun and my cosins,aunts,uncles all come and we have lots of fun and we enjoy it that is my unuasual Thanksgiving tridition.
What i think is that doing holiday shopping anytime is just fine. Shopping at anytime doesnt matter. Shopping on black friday is just fine unless some people dont go over board.
My family eats turducken every year. We also have a cranberry eating contest but you can't you your hands. Things get messy but it is hilarious!
On Thanksgiving, me and my family play a game after we finish eating. We get a really big spoon, then start passing it around the table. When it gets passed to you, you put a piece of your leftover food on it. If the spoon is full, you just have to get creative! Maybe you could rub butter on the handle. But be careful! If you drop it, you have to eat everything on the spoon!
Carl I love having THanksgiving. It's always fun to have a big tastey dinner. Also I love having Alot of my favorite pies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I celebrate Thanksgiving by having feast, watching the Thanksgiving NFL game, and the last thing is having pumpkin pie, so I don't go shopping at all in Thanksgiving, so I get to spend time with my family.
Each person in my family brings food to pass like turkey, corn, potatoes, dinner rolls and so on. Then during dinner we go around the table and say what we are thankful for.
We party thanksgiving night with friends-family and a great thanksgiving dinner than we sleep in- EAT PIE FOR BREAKFEAST and leave the shoping till the week of or before christmas! we don't need to wake up the break of dawn to get the newest stuff but are satisfied when we know the person is coming through their heart when they give a gift.
My tradition is that on Thanksgiiving day we have Thanksgiving dinner. Then I would have relitive come to my house or i would go to their house while my Mom goes black Friday shopping. Then the next day we come with her to finish her Black Friday shopping then i go home.
Every thanksgiving me and my family head to the original state we are from, meet up with our cousins and grandparents and we celebrate christmas on Thanksgiving because we live too far away from them to celebrate christmas with them.
I have thanksgiving on november 22 and I mostly have deer or elk ,I have stuffing , and we have a big bonfire whith muisic and a big party whith friends , family , and strangers that live close to us. P.S Carl what do you do on thanksgiving and you rock!
instead of eating turkey I am going to eat stuffing because I love stuffing.
Thanksgiving is about being with your family and friends. And having a good time. I don't think it's right to go shopping on thanksgiving. When your shopping, your not spending time with your family and friends.
my family usually goes out at 10pm to stand out front of stores on black Friday and we have rabbit not turkey witch i think is alot better!! i we don't forget the desert the cake and gingerbread....mmmm!! i love this time of the year..ohh and all the football me and my family could watch!!!
Evey year my family and I build model rockets. Everyone gets their own and builds it, then paints it. On Thanksgiving morning we all go out to the desert behind our house and shoot them off. I love this tradition!
Well, I don't really have a wacky Thanksgiving tradition, but last year, I didn't even have turkey! My family ate steak instead. And it shouldn't matter if you have a wacky tradition, it only matters that you spend the holidays with people that you love.
I always go over to have Thanksgiving with my Dad's side. Every year, family members bring lots of food and we stuff ourselves. The next day, I eat even more food with my Mom's side of the family! That's a lot of turkey!
My family and always sit down to watch A Snoopy Thanksgiving. I wonder if Charlie Brown will ever kick the football.
In my family we go to the petting zoo the day before Thanksgiving to pet the turkeys for our apriceation of them since we cannot meet pilgrims
On Thanksgiving, my mom,dad,sister, grandmother, great grandmother, grandfather, and I , make dinner together. Then we have a turkey that we always name Pablo. We name him Pablo because, in Spanish pavo means turkey and pavo sounds like Pablo. Then, all throughout dinner my grandfather sings songs about Pablo that he made up while eating. Our Thanksgiving is always amazing.
I normally have a food fight at my Grandma's house! After the food fight, we have a big mess, as you can probably imagine! We then go shopping, and make christmas cookies. We also watch a football game!
I never shop on Black Friday anymore. Last year on Black Friday, there was a stampede and I fell in the crowd. Millions of people have died or got injured.
After thanksgiving is done we sleep and wake up at 3am and eat the left overs from the day before and then we vote for which store to go to and then we go then we get mostly all of our money and when the day is done everybody says I'm tired every single Black Friday.What a tradition we have.
the way i do thanksgiving is when my family gose over to my gradmas house and hve dinner over there and then we pray for all the things we are thanx ful for
I would eat usually like anybody else on thanksgiving with my family. But I WOULD NEVER SHOP on Black Friday because every single family in the world goes Christmas shopping after thanksgiving and the stores are packed. And all the early shoppers take everything good, and in my opinion, I would want to sleep in on Black Friday- a day off. Forget me, I can shop 3 to 4 days before Christmas when the stores have the clearances are.
With me and my family, we have a giant game of Spoons(the card/spoon game) with everyone in my family. we usually end up fighting over who gets the last spoon.
An unusual Thanksgiving tradition that my family has is going to a different place every year. This is kind of hard considering I have two families, but you get used to it.
I say that well my sisters job will get alot of people and she will not come home for game night and hotchocolate
On thanksgiving me and my cousins reenact the first thanksgiving, im always the turkey!
My usaul Thanksgiving traditions are go to my grandparents house
watch the two football games eat dinner the next day go shoping for four
hours
Well my family spends thanksgiving at my Nanny's house while we celebrate my brother's birthday but this is going to be the last thanksgiving we have with him when he goes off to fight for our country.
I have dinner with the family but it isn't usually a thanksgiving dinner, it's a prepared meal, no turkey or ham or mashed potatoes. Then, we head out straight for the stores thanksgiving night.
On Thanksgiving, our family has a "Thanksgiving Bowl" in our backyard. We use ripped up pieces of cloth (which are usually decorated with turkeys or other thanksgiving designs) and play flag football. It's usually my dad and brother against my mom, and us (boys against girls). Our "In Zones" are usually a section of a fence and the clothesline. Whichever team wins, gets an extra big or sometimes even another piece of pumpkin or pecan pie. We've been doing this for about 4 years now and it is so much fun!
well we just go our aunts house and we have stufing turkey and it is a lot of fun.
how many turkeys we make this year we are making five! we will have alot of left overs. the best part is that we have time for family and thats all that really matters. 🙂
our family is vegetarian and we only eat fish so for thanksgiving we eat the regular sides but we eat fish insead of turkey
What i do is go down to palm springs every thanksgiving to spend time with family. I do black friday, go for walks, go visit my grandma's map shop, and go to a museum. This time we might do the turkey trot.
Every thanks giving we put up our thanksgiving decorations and put up our christmas decorations. This tradition started 8 years and stuck ever since.
My family makes turducken, which is a de-boned chicken, stuffed into a de-boned duck, stuffed into a de-boned turkey. The rest of the hollow spaces are filled with either sausage or bread, but we usually use bread. It may sound disgusting, but it really tastes good!
for my family we have a big Ham in stead of Turkey. Also we usually get up late and have to start making food as soon as we get up because it is like 10. So our Thanksgiving dinner usually gets later and later
My family on Thanksgiving plays Christmas music in the house and cooks dinner so the next day we can put up the Christmas tree.
Well, I wish I had an unusual tradition. The closest unusual thing in my family is instead of turkey we sometimes try to eat different meats like ham, maybe chicken, ect.
Every Thanksgiving we see our cousins and Gramma And Grampa. My family thinks about how some friendship can start. Every Thanksgiving we make new friends.
Thanksgiving is a time to get together with family, not a time to shop.we should be shopping for thanksgiving dinner,not for the newest fashion dresses!
On Thanksgiving, my extended family and I watch our Filipino Soap Operas. Every Thanksgiving there is a marathon of Soap Operas!!
The day after Thanksgiving my family heads up to our cabin and we cut down christmas trees. There is usually 2 to 5 ft of snow and we get enough trees for half the neighborhood.Then we deliver them to people and then set up all our christmas stuff. It is a really fun tradition and makes me really excited for christmas.
For my thanksgiving this year me and my family are going to stay home as a family and just spend some time together and have some steak and just play the wii and play board games. Usually we go to my grandparents house, but we decided just to stay home this year!
Every thanksgiving me and my family/extended family have a talent show! Each year we have to do something different.Then my aunts, uncles, and grandparents decide who was the best. We tried this a couple years ago and we have done it ever since.
I usually have three dinners and hang out by playing board games with extended family. I always hope and pray that everyone else is having as much fun as me.
I think that people should not be allowed to waste there thanksgiving dinner with there family to just go and shop! The deals will still be there in the morning just ignore it for now and focus on your family.
I find Thankgiving to be the best holiday ever! Me and my family go out in the woods to find the biggest wild turkey. My mother roasts it on a open fire and we invite our old papy from norway to come. It means a lot because he has always been there for us.
i like to start my holiday in black friday sleep in the mall to get the chance to go in the store firs
I eat my cinnamon roll before I even eat my breakfast
Our many groups of friends decides which house will be the spot of the Thanksgiving feast. Then everyone eats and eats and eats ... until they can't eat anymore. The day after we always shop for a long, long time.
Well, for Thanksgiving my family and I usualy enjoiy a meal together and after we plan what we're going to buy on Black Friday, then we start putting up the Christmas tree and decorate the front porch and front yard with Christmas lights!
I eat my desert before my dinner!!
My family always plays football outside and then when we go inside we jump into my pool with all of our clothes on and swim and then we eat turkey and stuffing and talk about thankfulness.
Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful and be happy for what we have. I feel like everyone is forgetting the meaning of the Thanks in Thanksgiving. So, every Thanksgiving I get together with my family and we have a big feast. We all take time to show how greatful we all are. Then we make lots of more food and give the leftovers and the new feast to the food shelters. It's our way of giving back and showing our greatfulness.
On Thanksgiving, our family gets together after we eat dinner and we play a game of bingo. This has been going on ever since I could remember, and it's always been my favorite part of Thanksgiving.
I love Thanksgiving! My family and I celebrate Thanksgiving by going to my aunts house. There we have a big potluck with friends and family. After that we have a dessert contest. Who ever make the best dessert, gets $25. Finally, all the cousins rent a movie and have an awsome sleepover!
My family does the same thing almost every year. On Thursday we eat dinner with my dad's side of the family. On Friday all the girls subtract me go shopping then later in the day my family goes up north for weekend skiing. On Saturday it's my dad, sister, grandpa, and I on the mountain skiing all day. On Sunday we have a recovery day, everybody rests from a long week of chores.
One of the very unique traditions my family has for Thanksgiving is eating sweet potatoe latkes; in other words, sweet potato pancakes.
Only my family will cook like pigs that day and then after everyone leaves, pack up anything we might need for 12 hours. Of course, i don't go because it's a lot of people, but my mom gets her shop on the next day at the crack of dawn.
I’m not sure if I would refer to my family’s Turkey Day traditions as weird, but do what you will. Of course all week until Thanksgiving, my mom’s in her crazy cleaning “make sure the house is spotless top to bottom” mode, then on Thanksgiving Day, the whole family gets together to celebrate. The girls usually do the most of the cooking besides the Turkey, which my dad usually does, and the boys, no surprise, will watch football until dinner is done. We eat, everyone helps clean up, and then to the living room we all go to continue watching football and our every year “after Thanksgiving” naps!
Are weird tradition we do on thanksgiving is one of are family members dresses up as a turkey and dose a little show about the way the turkey died and rose again.
My family does a traditional turkey first, and then we do a tandoori turkey to bring us the best of both worlds! It tastes delicious and no one says no to seconds!
Thanksgiving is when you and your peckish family get together and gobble down some turkey. Gobble Gobble. Thanksgiving is also a time to hunk down some Turks with your family.
I dont have an unusual Thankgiving tradition,But I will do a snowball fight with my fellow relatives and cousins!

Thanksgiving is a time to eat alot and be thankful to have all your friends around you. My aunt has sacraficed thanksgiving with us this year to be with her mother who had a major stroke and passed away Nov. 19, 2011. We miss her dearly but she will be there with her family for thanksgiving.

In honor of the history of Thanksgiving, my family dresses up as Pilgrims and Native Americans. I like to be Squanto. We buy three wild turkeys every year from our local turkey farmer. We then set the turkeys loose in our field and chase them around with hatchets until we find the unlucky turkey who we are going to feast on. The other two earn their freedom and we give them maize as a reward.
Actually I think my family never had a Thanksgiving before.
I am going to have a baking contest with my 11 and 13 year old cousins.
I am having Thanksgiving at my house and I will play my Xbox with my brothers

I have two different family traditions. When I go to my grandma's house she always makes a big feast and makes sure she has fudge and turkey. We gather the whole family and camp out on her 5 acres of land. It is lots of fun and very crowded. When I go to my grandfather's house he makes a turkey and we stay the night. It is also very very crowded there but not nearly as much as when we're at my grandma's house. It is not as fun there as it is at my grandma's house because because he has a small yard. All together I have a wild ride and three different turkeys.
My Thanksgiving tradition is my dad goes out and buys a ham and turkey and then he smokes it and we eat with our great family.
This thanksgiving I will just spend time with the family .
ON Thanksgiving I will eat a big turkey and play my ps3 and Xbox 360 all day long and go to sleep with my turkey in my tummy 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Oh sorry hope every one has a good thanksgiving.
I really have a CRAZY Thanksgiving and you might think it's not, but I usually have to try something new and it's usually something nasty. I've tried scallops, pickled cucumbers (not pickles), refried beans, and a bunch of stuff that should be in a toxic waste dump. I hope I don't gag or puke like every year I have to try something new. The other thing I have to do is go shopping with my aunt on Black Friday and all you hear is, "I want that!", "That's nasty!", "That is the weirdest thing on Earth!", and a bunch of other stuff I HATE. I have a crazy Thanksgiving. 🙂
My plan for Thanksgiving, I'm going to Canada to see the religions and to see family. When I go out there it's always so fun and there's music from all around the world. My tradition is every Thanksgiving I go and see my family in different states and countries. I love my family from all over. I'm really looking forward to next Thanksgiving! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
For thanksgiving i am going to eat LOTS of food
First my mom cooks turkey. Then chicken is in the oven.Also broccoli and cheese. But i eat pie and cake first. Like cookie clumps with ice cream. Then people come with dessert and dinner. I call them them whip cream. Because whip cream is good. I think every one should eat whip cream for every thing. And with pie of course.
I well do on Thanksgiving is go to my antes then eat turkey and mash potatoes .
Thanksgiving is a time to be happy for what we have and to appreciate the times we have as familys. Some people dont have to oppertunity to have a full thanksgiving meal so we should enjoy what we have. Every thanksgiving i go to my grandmas house and all of my aunts and uncles are there and even my cousins that are in college. We all sit on the couch and watch some football and play games or even go outside. No matter what what thanksgiving will always be about being thankfull for what you have, and be thankfull for being there with your family and friend.
I allway get fat on thanksgiving, me and my brother always have a food contest to see who can eat the most.
well. we eat dinner around 4:00 and before we eat we say what we're thankful for.
My family traditions are the usual. Breakfast in the morning and lunch. When it is dinner time, we have turkey, mac and cheese, biscuits, mash potatoes, stuffing in the turkey, stuffing balls, fresh greens, potato pie, cranberry sauce and many other things.
all my aunties come together in one house includen my mom and they all cook while the guys hangout and then later when they finsh cookong they all o hone and get ready and shower then later on come on back and party and chill you know us hispanics they love having liquor around lol.
My unusual thanksgiving tradition is to always have all our food at my dad's rental house. We invite all our family members and almost all of them come. We always have fun and the food is always great . That's how I spend my unusual thanksgiving in my family.
My crazy thanksgiving is my parents and my uncles get in a big fight over politics.
When me and my family has Thanksgiving we will usually all go outside and play a big football game. Or otherwise if we don't play football we will play a big game of kick ball and usually the team who has the kids on the side will easily win. But the adults don't take it very easy on us.
for thanksgiving i do something traditional but i still have a lot of fun seeing my cousins and family members. Also eating a very good meal made by my family. we usually just eat and talk , have a good time , and watch some tv. theres three babies in the family and they always make the family laugh. Thanksgiving is fun for our family even though its just normal.
What i do for Thanksgiving is we have ham because most of my family does'nt like turkey.
My family doesn’t really have any unusual thanksgiving traditions. The only thing that we do is all the family that comes to visit and we go to my grandmas. Then we just sit around talking waiting for the turkey dinner to be done. The best part of the day I think is the eating part. We get doubled eggs, turkey, cranberries, stuffing and potato salad. Then the best part of the meal comes….pumpkin pie. We just have a normal family gathering for thanksgiving nothing unusual. Which in my opinion is a little bit better than having some big extravagant tradition.
MY family do a classic with a twist. We rake leaves, but we try to bury one person in the pile and scare the person who doesn't f know there in there.
Weirdly enough, we take the turkeys, (cooked, and because we are vegetarians) and go to a mountain. Once we went to the other side of the country! But then we drop them over the cliff, and watch them fall. Then we discuss thankfulness. The longest it once took was 5 minutes to fall to the bottom!
My thanksgiving tradition is we make wildrice with turkey in it.
My family tradtions are getting together with family!My grandma always makes green jello salad!! And thats my family traditions!
I wake up and ether smell the turkey starting to cook or drive to my grandma's to hang out with my family. Then we play games after we eat.
My ThanksGiving Tradition is we make ham with mash potatos in it.(:
we eat turkey then black friday
we wach movies after we eat
We some times put the tree up early and go christmas shoping! We do it secretly so the other family members don't know! But you haft to be very sneacky about it!
My thanksgiving tradition is we drink sparkle cranberry juice and we eat collor greens
Instead of turkey, my family goes to get ham. We also have thanksgiving with other families who are from different countries and who's relatives aren't around.
I like your idea on thanksgiving week
They should close black Friday shopping and let people spend the week with there family
I like to hang out with my cousins
Thanksgiving is a time to thank your family and eat
My favorite tradition that my family does is that on Thanksgiving Day is we all have to take a bite out of the same apple, then bury it.
I love thanksgiving but it is about giving not getting I hope every one has a great thanksgiving
Love boo
My family and I play a prank on my uncle Steve, He always falls asleep by eating too much........ So then we put shaving cream and lipstick on his face! 🙂
we get be bes and see how many turkeys we can hit
for thaksgiving i wake up to the smell of food we usually gpo over family members house and play games and talk about what we are thankful for.
After we eat our Thanksgiving dinner my grandmother gives me an dmy broth the wish bone from the turkey. That's our Thanksgiving tradition!
My mom's side of the family comes from Poland. One food in Poland that you might know about is kielbasa. So every Thanksgiving my family goes to either my house or my grandmother's house and one of the dishes of many is the kielbasa. Its defenitly main part in our holidays. Thats my families' Thanksgiving tradition.
me and my family go to black friday and have a blast of a time trying on new and cool clothes!
we have a contest to see who can draw the best turkey
Most of my family doesnt live by us or has sadly passed away so the family who are here comes over and we make the most of it. My family is very very gratefull and blessed and we try to give back the most of what we can!!!! Thank You!!!!!!!:)
my dad is going to hunt the turkey then we are going to black friday
frist my dad hunts the turkey then my grand ma gets the turkey ready as the reast of my famly goes to the mall come back home pray
then the feast begains. 🙂
We buy cheeseburgers for thanksgiving!!! mmmmmm.... good. May sound weird but it is delicious! Turkey is disgusting!
I think that black Friday and all of these other odd traditions take the real meaning of Thanksgiving away.
My grandmother came over a week early and we had cranberry sauce carrots turkey and mashed potatoes. for the real thanksgiving we'll have fake thanksgiving leftovers.
In my family when we celebrate Thanksgiving we use hay bails as our chairs at the table. Sometimes we will even use them as the table.
Our family usually doesn't have a unusual Thanksgiving tradition. Usually we just go to my mom parents house and eat and sit around and watch movies and talk. At my dads we go to my dads moms and eat and then usually talk and hang around my grandmas place for the day or go out and do something or us grandkids might go outside and play games or football depending on the weather. At my grandparents we sometimes take naps and watch football or go to my aunt and uncles house to see them and the rest of the family.
Every single thanksgiving I go to the grocery store, walk over to the amazing Spanish food isle and grab all the burrito supplies i can. I'm not Mexican but i will chew up a burrito like there aint no tomorrow. The aroma of all the soupy beans and especially the ferocious taste of the salsa
my tradition is that my family always prays before we eat the big dinner oh and hello carl azuz!!
we used to go to my grandparents but this year we are shaking it up! Having Thanksgiving at our house this year sounds like a lot of fun!
My family always hangs out with the whole family, and we play sports; football, baseball, and soccer. It is always a tradition to have a 23 pound turkey, it way be weird, but I am the third generation of this tradition. It can't be more or less than 23 pounds.
I usually go to my grandparents house and watch football there. Then I go to the store, get some cornbread mix, and go home and eat the best cornbread in the world!
I usually get the turkey at the store. Then go home to my family and play a traditional game where if you lose you have to take a picture with the turkey! Then we go watch football and eat some delicious cornbread and give thanks to my family
I eat butterscotch with my dog Jwow nearby the fireplace and listen to slow jazz and I eat my turkey outside in my treehouse I think the bowling thing was good and definitely cool
At my house, we always play a crazy game of tag and run around the house, screaming. Then, we watch cartoons.
I would eat butterscotch with my dog nearby the fireplace and listen to smooth jazz and eat turkey in my forest and act like an Indian.
I spend my holiday relaxing playing video games and alsospending time with my friends and family, it doesn't matter how you spend it as long as you have fun in your holiday season. 🙂
On Thanksgiving all of mt family come over and all the girls in the family help cook the food while the boys in the family watch football games.
Every year the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday,) me and my family drive down to the woods where it is snowing, grab our scarfs, and search the woods for the perfect tree. My brothers chop it down and we tie it to the top of our car. My dog is always running around the woods and it takes us a couple of minutes to find him, and then we get in our car and drive home. At home, we set up the Christmas tree and we all help each other put the ornaments on. It's not about what you do for Thanksgiving, no matter how weird it is, but the most important thing about this holiday, is spending time with the people you love and being around your friends and just being thankful for what you have, not what you don't have.
We usually don't do anything. We sleep all day and then go shopping late at night. We leave at 10:00 p.m. and we do not come back until about 5:00 a.m.
We Don't Really Do Anything Except Have A Family Dinner.
We have normal thanksgiving
My family eats for a while then go outside and have a fire.
I go to California with my family and go to the beach then help family with cooking and crazy desserts and then eat them.:)
I think thanks giving is important because you need to spend time with family.
Thanksgiving is a awesome holiday were you can eat and have fun and be thankful that your eating and having water and all the other great stuff.That you need.
Normally I would go to my mom's house and eat turkey, stuffing, cornbread, vegetables, and some other stuff and just sit back and watch football or get a movie.
I just have turkey and my cousins come over.
It doesn't really matter what you do on thanksgiving as long you r with friends and family and the people you love. You are supposed to be grateful to the people you love because they are grateful of you.
For Thanksgiving My Family Usually Just Talk About Life And How We Have Been Doing.Every Holiday Me And My Cuzins All Have To Do Dances Or Sing Just To Do Our Talent.It's Really Fun.!:)
what we do is we get the hole family together and we eat we sometimes make video's and we all have fun
I think that Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful we even have the United States of America. If it weren't for the first settlers we would not have our rights.
Every Thanksgiving my sister I help our mom cook while our dad watches football. Then when the food is done we all sit down and eat our yummy food.
i dont think that banning sugary drinks will make students qiet drinking them i think students will protest and still end up driking them in the long run so just save every body some time and just leave the rules the way they are
when i have a thanksgiving dinner my family and i invite my sister and my nieces over and we all have a humunguas meal its a blast
My family gose to my nana house thats it and eat things really thats it!
i think all of the thanksgivving tradfitions are pretty funny and i dont really have any thanks giving traditions
For my thanks giving we get my family to go to my grandmas we laugh gand have a good tiem.
my family always have turkey for thanksgiving and my cousins and other family get together to celebrate this awesome holiday
i do nothing but hav some family over
For Thanksgiving I hand out a trophy at the annual Portland football game then go back to my grandparents and eat food.
My family usually goes to my aunts and has thanksgiving dinner and we spend the day together talking about funny stories, playing with little cousins. But one thanksgiving day a bunch of my cousin and I went to shoot some blue rocks and had a contest to see who could shoot the most blue rocks. It was pretty funny to watch us all shoot for the same one but we had fun doing it and there was a bird flying around so we tried to shoot it but we didn’t want to get the bird a heart attack, it didn’t matter who won or not all that we know is that we had a great time and it’s just matter so spent time with your family and being there for one another.
My family is pretty typical in our thanksgiving traditions. My mom tries to clean the house all week long, but its normally such a task that she ends up getting up at the crack of dawn Thursday morning to finish cleaning. My mom, grandma, and aunt spend the week before deciding who will make what. Usually though, it ends up the same. My grandma always makes the turkey, my aunt a desert and stuffing, and my mom everything else. All my aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family members gather at my house to start the feast at noon sharp. After dinner we sit stuffed into my families little living room and dining room watching football and talking. For supper my mom always boils the turkey bones and makes turkey and rice soup.
For Thanksgiving I always go to my Aunt and Uncle's house because they have the biggest house that enables us to have all of our family inside at all times or hang out outside, After that we say grace, eat dinner, and have chocolate pies... Yum!
My tradition is average we get together with family eat a lot and just have fun but the of the holiday doesn't matter the best part is being with family and being thankful of every moment of it no matter how much snow, food or gifts just being there to celebrate the holidays with family
First, I wake up and cook and watch the Thanksgiving day parade. Then I go to my dads house and we eat lots of turkey. After that my dad and I crash on the couch.
I am so happy that my mom makes great food or I think Thanksgiving would be really weird. But I am also happy that I get to have it with my family. Thanksgiving and Christmas would not ever be as great as it is when they are there and we eat together and we have our presents opened together and it just feels like it was made so we can have it with the ones we love!:)
Oh and also have a great Thanksgiving CNN!:)
I am going to have a really good meal and take my time and not rush and then in the morning if I feel like going shoping i will but honestly i don't think black Friday is that much of a big deal.
I personally don't even eat Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving. I have to play football. We eat Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. My sister always comes over and we pig out on pie, turkey, ect.
thanksgiving is for eating turkey and all that stuff and to sit down and watch some football
On thanksgiving, Me and my family always go to my Grandma's. She always makes tons of food and all my other parts of family come too.
i like to watch foot ball
I don't think it is a big deal and we can make new traditions to go along with the thanksgiving tradition.
Well Carl I'm a traditional guy, my grandparents come to my house, we have our turkey, stuffing, and watch football! This year were going to see the Packers go 11-0!! GO PACK GO!!! (Love the show)
Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful not go shopping but some people celebrate different so it doesn't really matter as long as we give thanks
Thanksgiving was originated when English pilgrims fought with Indians to take over a neighboring tribe then they had a great feast.But now most people recognize Thanksgiving as a time for shopping and "Black Friday" but they are getting it confused with the the true virtue of Thanksgiving...Peace and joy.
My tradition is to go riding my quad then go eat a big chunk of turkey.
Me and my family just stay home and have a great night.
For thanksgiving every year I go to the wiscoinsin dells on the 23. Then on thursday I go to my grandmas house in minnasota for thanksgiving until sunday afternoon, then i go home.
My family goes to all three of my grandparents houses on thanksgiving we have lots of fun and normaly we all get presents. I love thanksgiving because its a time to spend with family!
I don't really have any unusual thanksgiving trdition, such as the very first one. However, every Thanksgiving my family and I go to my aunt's house for our huge family dinner. Instead of turkey, mashpotatoes, and all that good stuff we have a meal entirely different. My aunt would order pizza, we would have a lot of desserts of chocolate. Since my family loves chocolate, we can never have a family get-together without that. It wouldn't be my family if they didn't have chocolate!
In our family, on Thanksgiving, we trade of who is going to have everyone over that day. Usually we would just hang out and eat turkey, but when I was little my cousins and I would act out a skit. My brother was never happy about doing them, so he pretended to be the turkey.
On Thanksgiving we go to one of our uncle's house. We usually go swimming next. If we don't we do it on Black Friday. Shopping doesn't usually occur at our house. We have turkey, but I don't eat it. The mashed potatos and chicken stroganoff are my favorite things at our Thanksgiving potlock. Nothing goes wrong. Sometimes we play pin the feathers on the turkey.
One of the things I do on thanksgiving is go to my cousin Chris house and have a thanksgiving dinner with the rest of the family there.
We would have turkey and other good things to eat and after words we would some times play different card games and play other types of game on the television and talk to each about different things.
thanksgiving is a time to be thankful and be happy for what we have. i feel like everyone is forgetting the meaning of the thanks in thanksgiving. so, every thanksgiving i get together with my family and we have a big feast it is awesome!
My grandma makes thanksgiving dinner before Thanksgiving. I would jump out of my bed smelling the food. MY family Mostly has Thanks giving at around 2:00. In my dinning room, we are not allowed to in the dinning toom, but at Thanksgiving we get to eat on the dinning room table, made out of carved wood. My aunt always brings her specil cheesy potatos, that everybody loves. After dinner we all sit in my living room, and tell jokes or stories. The time flies by, and it is time for everybody to go home, but we all know that we had a great time together!
I always go over to a Family's member's house ans have a huge feast. There is Turky, Gravy, Sweet patatoes, and Roals. It is always fun going there. This Thanksgiving, we are going to my Aunt's house.
I think that people who have weird traditions should be left alone.Since they might have inherited it from their from ancestors.People even might just like doing strange things ,and might be offended because they don't understand.
For every Thanksgiving I will go to my grama and grampa`s house, and we always have turkey and stuffing. But sometimes Joey, their dog, always eats my little brothers food and buprs really loud and we all laugh. My family always go`s to the mall to get some Thanksgiving stuff before a bunch of people start barging in before the week of Thanksgiving.
For thanksgiving my family and I watch the green bay packers play and this year the Packers are playing detroit Lions.When we watch the game my parents bring out appatizers.then at halftimewe have thanksgiving dinner.
I believe that some families do have strange traditions but as long as they're with their family it should'nt matter.I don't see why they do it but they do and if they keep doing it then they must be having fun doing it.So the way i see it is that if people are thankful, with their family, and having fun then it is a great Thanksgiving.
My family doesn't really do anything unusual. We drive to my Uncle's house and eat. Then we go outside and chill. Sometimes we watch a movie or two before going back to eating the pies.Yum! :] If there is anything abnormal that we do, I haven't figured it out yet.
Every year on Thanksgiving, I would go to my grandma and grandpa's house and hangout with my uncle and aunt's dog. I would also sit down and watch TV with my family, and we would sometimes go down to the lake and sit in the boathouse. Then we would go back up to the house and have turky, potatoes, and rolls for the Thanksgiving dinner.
I don't have any unusual Thanksgiving traditions. My family bakes pies, cakes, and a lot of other things. Then we gather around the dining room table and say a prayer to god for all the food that he has blessed us with. But this year i am going to Prarie City, OR.
Last year I went to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon I ate "turkey" there. This year we're going to Memphis, TN. It seems that we always go out of town. Sometimes my grand parents come over but that's when we're in town. Also I don't understand why Thanksgiving changed, but I could see adding the turkey.
For Thanksgiving I do something different every year. I never do the same thing. This year I am going to tennessee to se my cousins. Last year i went to my grandpa's to have turkey. I like the way my family does thanksgiving I also like thanksgiving because my birthday is on thanks giving.
I feel thanksgiving is a time for cheerfulness with your family.On thanksgiving my family normally has ham and not turkey.Then everyone has to bring a dish to eat. After that we either play pit or poker and have dessert the women are normally in the living room talking with each other while I play with the men I never knew that can be so much fun.Then we eventually leave and go Christmas shopping.
For Thanksgiving my family will watch football all day. It 's really fun watching all of my cousins get really crazy when someone wins, but when someone losses they always sy it's the reffs fault. My whole family loves it when my grandpa gets really mad because when he gets mad, he starts yelling at the T.V. I love Thaksgiving!
What I do for Thanksgiving is my family and friends all come to this one park and we play tackle football. Although we are not doing it this year because it is a big game for the Packers I don't mind.
Another holiday tradition is we always have turkey.
Also last year my grandpa made a mess up so it was not the best Thanksgiving.
Since it snowed one year for our football game I made a pretty big snow ball.
I wish everybody at CNN a happy Thanksgiving.
My family does not really have an unusual tradition for Thanksgiving we usually go to my grandma and grandpas house for the evening and after wards we hang out at my aunt and uncles.The adults usually go and do their own thing while us children do our own thing such as playing different games such as hide and seek or tag but otherwise my family tradition is pretty normal.... or at least to me:)
When thanksgiving comes my family and I would go to my grandmas but we don't any more so we don't do thanksgiving that much. My parents are divorced so me and my mom don't do any thing. But this year im with my dads so thanksgiving will be good.
On Thanksgiving me and my family have a turkey. I alwayshave to try the stuffing every year to make sure my taste did not change. (So far it hasn't.) I always love to whatch the football games. I always have a good Thanksgiving even if there are not a bunch of different traditions. I love spending time with my family on Thanksgiving.
For Thanksgiving my relatives and my mom's friends come over for dinner. We don't always have a turkey. Sometimes we have duck or chicken. After dinner we watch a movie in my movie theater. Then the parents sit at the table and talks and talks and talks. We might play with my dog and walk around the neighbor hood. The last thing we do is have a piano recital. Then everybody leaves. After everyone is gone we have a huge mess to clean up.
On thanks giving my family watchs football all day after we play football.We usaly eat watch football in the living room.Thats how i spend my thanks giving.
This thanks giving our family is going to celebrate in Washington D.C with our friends.I have not been there before,thats why I'm so excited.There we eat turkey and go to look at sights.I have never really celebrated thanks givin.This is my first time to celebrate it.
Tanksgiving is a time to be happy.I think that thanksgiving is a holiday forever.sometims we have presents+wehave a lot of fun with thanks giving we play games like oppratoin but some people just eat and dont have any fun good thing thats not my family.
On Thanksgiving my cousins come and aunts and uncles. We gather and hold hands around the dinner table and say a prayer. My family eats potroast, turkey and kury kury, also loog loog with rice. We don't eat before the guest arrvie. My family talks about what is going to happen or whats coming up.
My family always plays a Thanksgiving football game. The teams are usaully split up family against family. We don't keep score usaully. Afterwards, we settle down inside and watch the NFL game, and we enjoy each other's company. We watch the game before or after dinner, depending on the time, but the our game is always before.
My Thanksgiving is pretty normal I have a turkey with stuffing , crannberry sauce, pie with wipped cream.I have soda , lemonade to drink, i have a wonderful thanksgiving my famliy.
ETHAN.
On the day before Thanksgiving me, my mom, my sister Lola, my sister Sasha, and my grandma go to the mall and we shop most of the day. On Thanksgiving my whole family goes to my grandma's and grandpa's house. We eat turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, and stuffing.
I don't eat the stuffing, but I love to eat mashed potatoes. On Thanksgiving my sister and I get to break the wish bone of the turkey and every year I get the biggest half so my wish will come true.
I have a very odd way to celebrate thanksgiving at my dads.we will cook the turkey under ground.like we have a fire pit that we put the turkey in.then we will cover in dirt.he says that's how the pilgrims cooked it.that is why my thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving we celabrate French, Swedish, Irish, British, or Scottish traditions.
Then we eat we usually have turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, rice, stuffing, milk, and water.
After that we snap the wish bone and whoever gets the most of the wish bone wins and makes a wish.
My Thanksgiving is pretty mellow exept for the fact that when we are done with the pies my brother and I sometimes throw the pies in each others face before we leave our family members house.Like most families we sit down to say our prayers and thank god for the life we have now. I would like to send food to orphans and homless people and people who are struggling in life for a Thanksgiving feast so they can have the feeling we have when we are sitting down with our siblings. I would also need some help for those people who are in need of food. So I might have a bit of a challenge or it might be too late.
In the morning when everybody is awake we start cooking me and my mom cook. My mom and sister use cook now on Thanks giving my sister sleeps till the afternoon. That's how all of my Thanksgiving go so far that I can remember. O ya my stepdad watch's football all day.
I like Thanksgiving because you get a holiday that you get to eat good food.I think tThanksgiving is a very good holiday to spend time with your famliy.
Our family always go to our grandma's house. We travle from Sussex WI, to Racine Wi. We never have turky since we my grandma has an allergy to it. But we have ham, sea food, duck,sweet poato pie, and bread. We always look though the adds and once your 11 in our family or older you can go black Friday shopping. We always do a show for every one and we celabrate December birthday's since the other wise we do it on Decmber 25 and it you do with Christmas morning. We always have our Christmas list started and finished. The girls stay in one room and do one thing and the boys are in another and watch the football games. We also pull a name out of a hat once your an adult so that is the person you buy there christmas list. This year we are going to have you pull out the christmas list and you wouldn't know who got you . No madar what you give the person you christmas list. We also go to my other gandparents house and do the same thing but this time we get to eat turky since my other grandma has no allargies.
My Thanksgiving this year is where I'm driving to my aunt and uncle's house, and staying there for a couple of days. Every Thanksgiving we get up extremely early, and we all eat a bowl of cereal, and my brothers, dad, and I always help mom make all of the desserts, and the stuffing and turkey and of course, mashed patatoes and gravy. We let the meals cool, and since we'll have three others to help out this year, we can finish around four or five. We rest until six or seven, and then set the table and all of the trays of foods out. Starved, we pray a very, very, very long prayer, sometimes when I open my eyes the cookies are gone and my older brothers' faces are covered in crumbs, and then.... We devour it and laugh and joke, and we gather at the couch and watch a bunch of movies. That's my strange- sort of- Thanksgiving tradition.
I think that people with different beliefs is okay.I think that it is kind of cool because some things they do are cool.people that do things like that I think that is normal for them.for example they do not celebrate at all.
Every thanksgiving I go to my cousins house in the bronx and we go out have a great time. Then we come home eat rest and get prepared for the next day. There is always something fun happening the next day. Last year we went to thanksgiving. Usually thanksgiving is about being thankful. But people just eat. So me and my cousins just go out and have fun. Thats the true meaning of thanksgiving having fun and being with people you love ( and being thankful ) : )
we go around and say what we like about that person
My family has a strange tradition for Christmas. Instead of having a Christmas dinner, we like to have a Christmas breakfast. Even though it's a bit unorthodox.
On Thanksgiving me and my family eat Mexican food like posole,menudo,nachos,beans,and molle we eat that every year for Thanksgiving Dinner.
My family is having a thanksgiving today on Tuesday and on Thursday because my brothers and sister come over on Tuesdays but other than that every things normal. bro.
My Thanksgiving tradition is going to grandparents house or them coming over to my house and eating then the Adults start to talk and the kids talk .
i spend my thanksgiving that way too @josh
we usually have a family reunion and we usually eat Mexican food 🙂
My Thanksgiving is usual we go get food my family brings some we have smoked turkey and then we go home.
I Think That It Is Ridiculous That Stores Are Opening At 12AM On Thanksgiving Because It Is Ruining The True Meaning Of ThanksGiving!!!!
I spend my Thanksgiving with my family with a big turkey on the table with stuffing and all kinds of food and after eating we dance to some amazing Spanish music...
For Thanksgiving we have everyone come to our house because my mom is the the one that does all the cooking. We don usually do anything odd, but we do spend time with family and have good times.
What I do on Thanksgiving.My family eats both turkey and Mexican food.We have some really big parties with my aunts, uncles,family and even friends.My mom cleans the house when she comes home from work and makes some really good turkey and other food.
it dose not matter what your tradition is as long as your spending time with friends family and people you love . thanks giving is about giving thanks for all we have and cherish. isn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well for thanksgiving we eat turkey and all that good stuff, after that we watch a movie and play card games, Or go to my relatives house and have fun there It's usually fun! 🙂
On thanksgiving me and my family eat tamales on thanksgiving day and after that we watch soccer.
Yum food
Our family traditions are kinda strange before we go shopping we do a funny dance then we invite our family and friends to come and when they do we do kart wheels if you are under 55 and when we are done with that we balance gravy in a bowl (plastic) on our head to see who gets to serve food if you keep it on your head longest and like it is so fun to serve the food because at the end instead of getting rid of our food we have a messy surprise we have a giant food fight in our kitchen........ when we are done with that we go to our back yard and we throw flour at each other and we also get some eggs and we balance them on a spoon and have races down the road.........................I love my family traditions..............I bet no one else has that tradition ha........ :p
I don't know about yo guys but I send time with my family like always>
My family's tradition on thanksgiving is to travel to where my other family lives and eat there.
My family has 2 thanksgivings and they are always one small and the other big. My mother's side is always and at a church(that my grandmother owns) even get to say hi or how are you to everyone only about half I got to talk to. Once we are done eating we go and have dessert that is ssssoooo good and then once done with that we go and sing songs and be crazy, and the adults look at the adds for black friday and even my uncles look at the adds(alittle weird )and always we go upstairs and watch football or basketball or some kind of game that is on. And if you think that is weird just wait till it is chirstmas it is worst.
Well what we do every year even though its cold is get water balloons and through them then go inside get dressed and then we all help cook the dinner then we all go and tear up news paper and then through them 🙂 . even though its weird its a whole lot of fun
I normally eat turkey and my Grandpa and Grandma make me and my sister say what we are thankful for and when they are done they leaft us know by squzing our hand and man does it hurt it fells like the hole family ganged up on us or somthing!
My sister lexi and I always do a stare down and who ever wins gets to pick everything that we kids get to pick!(dont tell her that i blink so fast she dosent even know!
My meal this Thanksgiving will include three turkeys!!
Every year my time is spent first with my close family for lunch- one turkey.
Later, my mom, sister and I travel to my aunt's house and eat with our cousins for dinner – two turkeys.
That yearly tradition is a time welcomed to spend time with some important people we do not regularly see. This year, a third turkey will be needed. That just means a little more time with family!
back when my mom was a kid she use to have to eat swatsour. A soup made of duck blood, the ducks head, feet, bill, and croons. she had to eat it on thanksgiving before desert, and on christmas before opening presents.
me and my family are had an early thanks giving at a different state with our other family. we ate store bought sliced turkey and alot of yummy stuff! then we are going to have the REAL one back at home with our other family!
I travel...just to watch football and eat turkey, that's it
One of our traditions for Thanksgiving is to take the wishbone from the turkey and have two people grab the sides. They pull until it breaks, then whoever gets the larger half makes the wish.
My Family, we all get together. and bring our new boy/girl friends, or any new family member, and we eat a huge meal, of Turkey, Ham, and all the good stuff. But the most funniest part of it is. That my cousins and myself, go outside and either play EXTREME Tag, or play Hide & Seek , in the Dark.. XD. It may be childish, but its fun to kid, and be with the ones you care about. SO WHO CARES WHAT CHILDISH GAME WE PLAY? We all laugh at ourselves. That's what it all matters anyway.
My Thanksgiving traditions aren’t much, if any at all. We eat lunch as a family and then we watch Television the rest of the day. Later that night we get together and share stories from when we were younger, it gets pretty humorous at times. Then we play games, some card games, some board games. It isn’t much, but that is what my family does for Thanksgiving. We have never gone Black Friday shopping; my family isn’t interested in fighting over gifts or other items. If we want an item we usually just wait to buy it. I know some people enjoy the drama of Black Friday but not me, some camp out for weeks before Black Friday even starts; personally I think it is ridiculous. I also feel bad for the employees who have to work , they even feel they are getting their Thanksgiving taken away, I think Thanksgiving is a time for thanks, so why not take this Thanksgiving and thank those people using their holiday to work.
My whole family eats thanksgiving all together. I have two families so me and my siblings are stuffed by the end. And sometimes we don't even have turkey, just ham. Last year my mom even made spinach cassorole and pie. It was kinda nasty.
Every Thanksgiving my family has a video game tournament. In the morning we play football video games. Then we have lunch. After that everybody talks. Then we go play football.
Every thanksgiving, my grandpa and I ALWAYS have a pumpkin pie eating contest! We have my mom get ready to start handing us the pie... and the loser has to do the dishes and serve everybody else their pumpkin pie!!! Haha my mom says its always soooooo funny to watch!
My family and I don't bowl frozen turkeys but I do however do some unusual things around this holiday. Just before the big feast my family shares what we are thankful for...that's pretty normal, but when it comes to the feast my family has... ham because my dad is allergic to turkey. Pie, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and green-bean casserole.
i think thanksgiving is the to give thanks to the people to take care of us
We have a silent contest with our family! We are twins and we always end up winning! The best part about about the day is that we make our SUPER Superhero costumes!!(we make them ourselves) Every year with our mother and grandmother we try to make something new, this year we are making craneroed! this is made up of cranberries,mashed potatoes,and oreos!!(its all blended together!!)
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!! gobble gobble
to eat a humungous turkey then have a really big feast
My birthday acutally lands on thanksgiving every 7 years...and im excited this year it lands on the day we come back 2 school!!..from thanksgiving break
I wake up in time for the Thanksgiving parade and help my family cook. Sometimes we even take the skin from the turkey and put it on our face while making funny noises. It might not be the most wackiest tradition, but it has a lot to do with spending time with family. We students spend so much time in school that times like these, that's all we should be focused on. Family.
My family is very competitive, so every year, ever since Just Dance the video game came out for the wii and xbox and playstation3, my family always has very intense dance competition. It makes everyone laugh at how crazy we all look like trying to dance our best.
my family gets together, and we make munchies for lunch. but whats really important is to just be with the ones you love.
i thank that they would help the people that are not haveing thanksgiving
My families thanksgiving is a strange time. Now we are starting to do a video chat @ nine am just to tell each other what we are thankfull for. Then we have a feast around noon, but we go through all this trouple to make everything look nice. We may in the future actually dressing the turkey in a tux.
My family and I just go somewhere were we have a mini family reunion and play sports like soccer and baseball...
For thanksgiving my family tradition is just hanging out and watching football....
Well my family has salad, garlic bred and, lasagna. My family thinks you should only have turkey one time a year (Christmas). The only tradition that stays is pumpkin pie.
It doesn't matter if you have crazy traditions. All that matters is that you spend a day with the people you love. That's what a real holliday is!
Well when I get up for thanksgiving the first thing I say is happy birthday to my grandpa. Then i go wake up y parents and say Get up get everybody here this is a day to be thankful come on and if that dont work i just ket the sleep.
One of my family's traditions for Thanksgiving is to drive past Best Buy and see all the people camping out in tents to get the early morning deals when it is 10 degrees outside.
We always eat, then after lunch we look through ads to make our Christmas list, for the adults to go shopping on Black Friday! And you can't forget football! Go Dallas Cowboys!!!!!!!!!!
At thanksgiving, my family comes to my aunts house and each year someone new joins us. weather its my cousins new boyfriend, or some blood-related family that just lives out state! It gets crazy at dinner sometimes!
my family and i usually have thanksgiving on thursday every year since '05. we usually eat turkey and/or chicken but this time we decided not to celebrate it i don't know why. once we had hot wings with shrimp fried rice on thanksgiving. the way we spend our thanksgiviing when we have it is telling my friends and some church members to come over and we give thanks and finally have a "feast" usually after that we all just watch tv or go back to what we were all doing.
I spend my Thanksgiving EATING TURKEY and giving thanks to God and Jesus. Oh, and I also go to Black Friday at midnight after we eat and stuff like that. Peace Out.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like thanksgiving but, the day after that we start doing christmas .
I go to one of my relitives, eat dinner, watch football, and finaly play "boogie man" with my cusins. plus play Clue with my family.
I usually just treat it as a normal day with a small breakfeast-like lunch with a big fancy dinner. Nothing special, but on black Friday I just stay home,m relax and shop online!
on thanksgiving we go in a circle and read what we wrote about what we are thankful for.
For my family, Thanksgiving is not just about the meal. Yes, we stuff ourselves with all the delicious foods, we always watch The Day After Tomorrow. Frankly, I do not like apocalypse movies, but this reminds us of what we should be thankful for. We do not have to worry about freezing currents or multiple tornadoes, and frankly, I am VERY thankful for that.
Every Thanksgiving my family and I have a great big meal. We always have some friends over to enjoy it with. Our big tradition is that every Thanksgiving night, we set up our Christmas tree. It's a great way to spend time with my family and after all that's what Thanksgiving is about. 🙂
On thanksgibing, we have a battle on who will take challenge of the WISHBONE... I usually always win though!
On one side of the family we go to my grandmas. She always makes turkey and stuffing and all the usual. But she also makes this weird drink and she makes everyone under the age of 13 drink it and that would only leave me.
Carl your the man who knows all the plans. Im thankful for you, and CNN student news.
Every single Thanksgiving since I can remember, we all dress up as Turkeys and take a family photo.
My unusual Thanksgiving tradition is we jump into a freezing lake.
every year my whole family sits down and makes alot of food and we just have a great time remanicing about our time we have spent together the past year. we have fun all night.
Every Thanksgiving my family comes to my house in the afternoon for our thanksgiving dinner. We eat turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing. It is a nice time to just relax and chill with the family.
My unusual thanksgiving tradition is going to my grandparents house in Lansing,MI. When we get there we eat food, play board games and spend time with our family members that we haven't seen in awhile. Not really unusual, but special all the same.
Every Thanksgiving my family and i all have a great big meal, we spend time together and then mostly everybody goes deer hunting
for our family thanksgiving tradition we usually all go over to a relative house and have a big dinner.also we usually have a football game such as a turkey bowl.and after the football game we all go and sit down and say a prayer then we eat.also we usually watch the a game beacause there is usually a game everthanksgiving.
I don't really have any unusual traditions. We eat, and we eat some more. Yay.
On thanksgiving me & my family watch football, my usually makes pies & cookies all day so we can eat them with dinner that afternoon. & then our whole family gets together & has dinner, & we play games.
For thanks giving i eat chicken becouse my parents think turkey is diveloped with lots of chemacles and non natural ingredients. so 19 or 18 weeks befor thanks giving i go out in my back yard and shoot chicken and eat them
For Thanksgiving my family sits down and prays to thank God for everything he has done. We sit down and eat as a family and love everyone.
My meal this Thanksgiving will include three turkeys!!
Every year my time is spent first with my close family for lunch- one turkey.
Later, my mom, Brother and I travel to my aunt's house and eat with our cousins for dinner – two turkeys.
That yearly tradition is a time welcomed to spend time with some important people we do not regularly see. This year, a third turkey will be needed. That just means a little more time with family!
At my Thanks Giving my I made cherry pie, turkey ,ham, macaroni pie. It was very fun , my step brother went to the Pocanose
