Feast
Every year, on the fourth Thursday of November, American families gather around the table to celebrate our national day of Thanksgiving, usually by overeating and drinking and then snoozing the afternoon away on the couch.
You'll Need a Sharp Knife
It is traditionally up to dad to carve the turkey; the results can sometimes be unpredictable.
Pass the Salt
Thanksgiving would not be complete without some kitschy decoration, like this pair of shakers.
It has Ridges
No turkey day dinner would be complete without a helping of cranberry sauce, straight from the can.
T.V. Dinner
For your holiday entertainment, there is never a shortage of Thanksgiving fare on the tube. Everybody gets in on the act, including the quintessential American T.V. family The Brady Bunch.
Gridiron
The Detroit Lions play football every year on Thanksgiving. And even if they usually don't win, at least their fans have fun.
Black Friday
The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year. Millions of people, presumably still under the influence of tryptophan, get up ridiculously early to flood the stores and hunt for bargains.
It's Not Easy Being Green
Macy's holds a Thanksgiving Day parade every year, clogging the streets of New York with rubberneckers hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite characters floating by, like good old Kermit the Frog.
Whadda Ya' Want?
Slightly gross, splitting the wishbone of the turkey is supposed to be a game of luck, but is it really?
Shake On It
A slew of bizarre Thanksgiving traditions have evolved over the years, including the presentation of a turkey to the President by the turkey industry. The tradition dates as far back as the Lincoln administration.
