Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year, and my favorite week. It is one of the few times a year that I get to see all of my family under one roof. i have many cousins living in Lexington, but others in Florida, Harlan, and other far away places. It is great to see all of them, and enjoy their company.
But the one thing that brings us all together more than anything is, football. When games come on during thanksgiving, most of us are glued to the TV. It is not even close to your basic image of thanksgiving. We sit on couches and turn on every TV in the house. It is very similar to the Thanksgiving from the movie The Blind Side, only we have a ton more people. NFL is one of the things I am most interested in, and much of my family is the same way. So, during commercials and breaks discussion can get very heated.
We usually eat a ton of food during all of the games. The meal basically lasts all day long and you can just get up and get food whenever you want. But, with the kids, you always have to worry about the risk of your seat being stolen when you get up to get food. We have a strict guideline of calling fives, but some dont stick to that rule. Tahn if you are bigger than them they get to sit on the floor.
