Aside from watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade on television, or the football games in the afternoon, I usually enjoy the “Thanksgiving Dinner” (it is customarily called Thanksgiving “Dinner”, regardless of what time of day it is served). I usually have this traditional meal with friends and/or relatives. It ALWAYS involves turkey, dressing, potatoes (usually sweet potatoes or yams, in some cases with a mandatory addition of roasted marshmallows), one other vegetable, and an appropriate beverage. When I have the meal with relatives, I usually leave overfed because of the mandatory “seconds”. After navigating home, I often take nap (this year with my dachshund). Since I am retired, I then spend a little time chatting with out-of-town relatives on the phone, watching television
