We all have Thanksgiving day traditions. Share some of yours. What are your traditions each year? Where do you usually celebrate? How much do you participate in the cooking process?

traditions? each year i consistently eat the following: mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, turkey, gravy, green bean casserole...specifically, during thanksgiving, lol. random things change - sometimes there's corn bread pudding, pork meat bbq sticks, ham, etc. i usually celebrate w/family but the location varies: florida or the suburbs. i normally don't want to participate, however, i get roped into it somehow...sneaky family. ;)
