There is something appealingly pagan about holding hands around a turkey carcass, though. Oh, and pumpkin pie.

gravy is GOOD !!!!!!
it's essence of meat... a meat-shake.
i love gravy.
gravy gravy gravy.
even the word "gravy" sounds yummy.
I had cheesecake, homemade brownies, coffee ice cream from Frindly's and Cool Whip for dessert.
all on the same plate.
no rice though.

to rearrange the order a little,
#1 christmas music
#2 consumerism (see #1 above)
#3 football
those are my only complaints. no wait, christmas decorations too. and the strange, sudden ubiquity of christmas-esque halloween decorations this year. but other than that, my thanksgiving was pretty good. my mom makes awesome gravy, which is mostly drippings, with just a touch of thickener and salt.
