It’s the daily!!

What are some of your post thanksgiving dinner rituals? Football and Nap? Listening to Grandma’s take on Elon and his twitter machine, sharpening the nail file for all of those Black Friday shopping deals? Burying your head in the dishes to escape the horrific family discussions?

We watch Trains, Plains and Automobiles every Thanksgiving after dinner. Our SIL is going to borrow an outdoor screen to watch it by the fire pit this year if weather cooperates. Definitely our Thanksgiving tradition.

We watch that too! And Dutch. Along with decorating for the holiday season.

We are a tidy and efficient Thanksgiving family. We convene to eat a giant lunch with all the normal fixins and then we all go back to our respective homes and nap.

We wait a couple hours then do a massive dessert and coffee and booze fest.

We drive down to the beach area for Thanksgiving, so the post TDay ritual is driving back home and discussing all of the crazy we just had to endure. It's never a good idea to put almost 30 people in a 1500sqft house.

We have been spending Thanksgiving with friends so our after dinner rituals are much less stressful. In fact, everything is less stressful. Highly recommend.

I just told the wife we should do a Friendsgiving next year. We have never not done the big family Thanksgiving.

We typically just drink wine and play games until dessert time. We're pretty chill. I'm excited though to introduce my mom to the game Codenames - my wife and I recently discovered it, and seems like an easy enough game to play with the fam.

We do a dessert potluck for a few hours in the evening. Friends bring their favorite Turkey Day dessert and we spend a couple hours playing card/board games or just talking. People come and go, staying as long - or as little- as they like.
