What Thanksgiving traditions did your family have when you were growing up or does your family have now?
Growing up, my brother and I would always watch the parade on tv, then after Thanksgiving dinner around 2 or 3-ish, we'd put the Christmas tree up. And, there was football in there somewhere.
Re: Thanksgiving traditions?
I love our family traditions for the holidays, Thanksgiving was the same as most ... Everyone at my grandparents house and my grandfather would prepare a FEAST !! Turkey, Lasagna , home made pastas and manicotti, all the fixins..
once we ate, the men would watch tv while the girls sat in the backroom playing cards or dice games with pennies.
Love the holidays!!!
For the past few years, I like to watch the Dog Show that's on at noon. In the afternoon we go over to my in-laws for dinner and to pick names for the Christmas gift exchange. I'll add that I grew up partly in the UK, so we didn't celebrate Thanksgiving when I was growing up.
This year I'll miss my tradition of drinking a lot of wine at dinner!!!!
