Thanksgiving was a festival to be grateful for the gratitude, and appreciation to God, and people used to gather around to give thanks of what they have. But now, the traditional forms are various, meanwhile, people will go home before the thanksgiving eve.
Reunion of your love ones
People are taking 4 to 5 days off for the holiday. They are spreading all over the country, but they are going back home to be with their family and friends. That's why the transportation is heavier and the airport is crowded. When they arrive, they are tending to hang out with their family or friends to the bar, or grab a cup of coffee. The town is echoed with their laughter.
Thanksgiving dinner
Certain foods are served as traditional meals for the day. The holiday is also well known as turkey day which can't be missed at that day. The feast usually contains smashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corns, autumn vegetables, etc. One course is also necessary, that is pumpkin pie as dissert. If the pie is not good enough, then you may think you don't have a wonderful thanksgiving. To some extent, the day means to have a big meal. Delicious food can connect your family closer. Since the turkey is playing an important in the traditional meal, go buy a nice one, and cook it with a very good recipe. Or else, the feast will be screwed. If you are hosting a party, you have to prepare more food and snacks, like vegetable tray, chips, fries, etc. if you are going over to your friends' house, you don't have to cook, just bring a bottle of wine. It is pretty convenient.

Travel
Lots of people are planning a road trip or a camping trip with their family and friends. It should be fun. But driving a few hours for the destination can be boring. There's a solution I can offer. Go get a car DVD player, and it will help to kill the time. The device can play music, movies, and other shows. If you want to watch TV, it also has the specific function for you. The car DVD is also holding the navigation system so that you won't be lost. At the same time, you guys can sing along the device, and it's kind of funny to sing with your loved ones.
