Favorite thing about Thanksgiving

[sparklymouse]

I first have to point out that we don't have a Thanksgiving sub-thread. If any non-American board members celebrate anything similar or just want to pretend that they do then please chime in!

Eating food. I’m not going to see family until I go home for Christmas so it’ll just be me having a feast with my cat.

I would probably say family time/eating dinner. We'd hang around the table eating and relaxing. Chances are we won't be doing anything else, such as grocery shopping since everything's being brought over already.

Booboobrewer, I always approve of hanging out with cats.

I'm going to be sappy and say family time. We don't all hang out at the same time very much. The food is ok, but I'm a picky eater and prefer other holiday foods more.

I also picked other. I am not joking about this. I enjoy getting the newspaper and looking through the pound of Black Friday/Cyber Monday flyers. Although times are changing with Black Friday deals going on all month and online ads available. Still, good times.

My sister says Thanksgiving is all the best parts of Christmas without all the pressure of gift giving. I agree so I voted for family and food. Football is my favorite thing ever but my team never plays on Thanksgiving, so we usually shout insults at whoever is playing but don't get too invested.

Does anybody here go Black Friday shopping? I refuse on principle, but I'm curious if anyone has any good stories.

I have been, but I don’t have any stories. I haven’t gotten into a fistfight at Best Buy or anything. I’ve done online sales the past few years which work just as well without the impulse grabbing.

I haven't gone shopping on Black Friday though I have watched an episode of World's Dumbest called World's Dumbest Shoppers. There were a complete segments of Black Friday shoppers and both segments had fights.
