Tofurkey day.

Hey everybody! I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving...mine was pretty good, I must say.

So we have a few traditions at my house for Thanksgiving. First and foremost, we always start the day off by watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, eating Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (NOT Grands, just the normal ones), eggs, fruit, and bacon. We've been doing that my entire life. I can't remember a time when we didn't do that on Thanksgiving.

Secondly, my mother and I always make homemade applesauce. It's amazing. I don't remember when we started doing it, but it's been going on for a very long time. We only have it once a year, and it's the best applesauce you will ever eat in your entire life.

We have a few weird traditions, too...we only eat chicken on Thanksgiving, not turkey. That's only started in about the past 5 years, when everyone fessed up and admitted they hated turkey and that having it around the house for two weeks afterward was awful. But besides the chicken, we always have some sort of vegetarian option, because either me, my brother, or his girlfriend, Claire, is a vegetarian at Thanksgiving. (That started when I was about 13 or 14...we all just keep cycling through.) This year it was me and his girlfriend. Also, we always have cranberry sauce from a can, and it always has to retain its can-like shape. (Kind of gross, but also hilarious.) We always have an alternate pie besides pumpkin, because my mom is the only one who likes pumpkin pie. We generally have either my chocolate mousse pie or Claire's famous peanut butter pie. Oh, and we always watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on ABC, and we absolutely do NOT do Black Friday shopping, unless it's online.

All of our traditions, except for the vegetarian and chicken thing, have been around for as long as I can remember. What's your family tradition?

Keep it classy and fabulous!
