As someone who didn't grow up in the US, I don't have a large family here, nor do we have any thanksgiving traditions outside of turkey or ham for dinner. But I wanted to learn some new traditions, specially some I can do with adults as my kids are in college.

Honestly all it is for my family is eat the big meal and watch the game. I usually nap during the latter part because I ate so much.

If I'm at my moms then we might do some games. Sometimes we do what is called an "auction party". Where everyone who shows up brings two things they don't want anymore. Then we all get the same amount of fake money and sit in the same room and bid on it. I can be real funny with gag items going through long bidding wars. It can also be pretty helpful to get an item you actually care about.

During a covid auction party a half used bottle of hand sanitizer had an absolutely riotous bidding war over it.
