Happy Thanksgiving!
Please describe a Thanksgiving day tradition in your family. Has it changed any over the years? For example, my mother cooks a turkey with stuffing. When my sisters and I were children, my Aunt Nell cooked all of the side dishes and brought them with her to our house. This included home made pumpkin and chocolate pies. Now that my aunt is gone and my sisters and I are adults, we prepare the sides and desserts for the meal. Please respond in a good paragraph. I will respond to your posts.

Our thanksgiving tradition is simple, we just celerbrate thanksgiving. We really don't do anything special on thanksgiving. All we do is spend time with the family, and have a good time. Since we don't have a tradition it can't really change over the years.
My thanksgiving has changed over the the years. When I was little my mother used to always cook on Thanksgiving, but now all we do is go Big Boy and order a carry out. We just sit around and reminise on the good times and maybe watch t.v. if their anything interesting on. Thanksgiving really isn't all that special to me as it used to be, I just love the part where I get to eat. That is all we do on Thanksgiving.
For Thanksgiving in my house we all go over my grandma house where all of the family spends most of their holidays. And I help make the desserts, such as cheese cake which is one of my favorite desserts. For the main dish we would all gather around the dinner table hold hands and go around in a circle and say want we are most thankful for and then we would bless the food.After that everyone would start eating and talking amongst each other. That is a tipical Thanksgiving tradition in my family.
Our Thanksgiving tradition is very simple. We have our family over, mainly my mom's side of the family. We spend time together, have a good time, and just be a family. It's usually our time we get together where things aren't busy. It's not really a tradition all that much so it doesn't change over the years.
Since we have a rather huge family, we would always get together at my great-grandparents house and cook. My grandmother and her thirteen brothers and sisters would always help out. The kids would always be somewhere playing games. Now that my great-grandparents are deceased, we don't get together the way we used to. I wish we did though, because we are getting very seperated from each other and like my great-grandparents, I always want my family to be together.
Well my family is not very big. So My mom, and my two aunts usually cook the dinner, and all of the sides, my mother does most of the cooking. Whoever is hosting the dinner that year has to cook the turkey. The sides are left up to the children, this year I made a cheesecake. These are some of our Thanksgiving Holiday traditions.
A Thanksgiving tradition that my family had was that every one would go over my grandmothers house and eat dinner.Now that my grandmother lives in Arizona my mother cooks then after eating at my mothers house we all just go to different family member's house. My grandama had a huge role in my families Thanksgiving holiday tradition, now that she has moved far everything has changed. The one thing thatremains the same is my family showing their love and comming together for the holiday.
Our thanksgiving tradition is the same every year..
My mother cooks the macarooni and cheese and the buns. We go to my aunts house and eat their. My auntie and her mother-in-law cook everything including the desserts. All my family members come and eat at my aunts house for thanksgiving and it is so special..
Our thanksgiving tradition has been the same for decades. What we do is really simple. We make a list of everything we want on our thanksgiving menu. Then we assign people to food. For example, macaronni and cheese would be number 6 on the list, and my mom needed to be assigned a food to cook . She would most likely be assigned the macaronni because she cooks it the best. Over the years it has changed because now we email the list. Before they used to have meetings at Sunday dinner at my grandma`s house. But now we don`t have Sunday dinner anymore since my grandma died.
My family tradition is a simple one really. We always cook up a HUGE feast with the family. Of course we always have a huge gathering over Grandma's house. We play video games together, cards, and a lot of other things. We dance, watch movies, joke around about a lot of fun things. After all the food is cooked we say a prayer all together before we eat. Well, I don't know if thats really considered a "tradition." But, I do have fun with my thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Traditions in my family have changed over the years. In my family, we ususally have all of my aunties and uncles cook. After each person prepares the meal, they are to bring their dish to my uncles house in Mount Clemens, because he has a big house. Every year there is a dispute between who side of the family we are going to visit. My father and I thought of a brilliant idea even though it broke tradition. This year my mother, sister and I cooked for just our immediate family and we ate thanksgiving dinner at home. Afterwards we visited both sides of the family and still had time to come home and rest.
One main tradition in my family is my dad makes 12 pies. 6 sweet potato pies and 6 cheese cakes and it taste so good
I have three parents and we don't really have any tradition on my father side of the family.On my mothers side we usually allow the children say the grace that blesses the food and it was a tradition up until i turned thirteen! i think. but anyway, recently the adults have been choosing to let the kids say grace and they have been taking over the blessing of the food.
My family has a family tradition on thanksgiving.Every year we go to diffrent family members house every year.Who ever house we go to they will cook dinner.The rest of the family just bring eating utencils and games to play.We stay up all night at each other house and enjoys themselves.That's what me and my family does every thanksgiving.
