What Is Your Family's Thanksgiving Tradition?

Every family has its own Thanksgiving tradition.

Mine involves wine.

I am particularly fond of Manischewitz. I am not Jewish and Thanksgiving is not Passover but nevertheless it wouldn’t be a family dinner without it.

My father knows his job: Tomorrow, he will check the cellar to make sure a bottle is one hand.

The funny thing is, I don’t drink it any other time.

Well, I lied. He also serves it on Easter.

So, dad, to quote The Black Eyed Peas, mazel tov!

Does your family have a signature dish, a once-a-year centerpiece for the table? Or do you do something different, rather than the traditional at-home meal, like volunteering or a dinner out? Please share some of your traditions for Thanksgiving.
