My family's Thanksgiving dinner is a lot like a reality TV show

because every year we have a new cast of characters, a fresh set of alliances, and at least one dramatic exit before dessert

At our Thanksgiving dinner, we have a tradition where everyone shares what they're grateful for.

But honestly, it's just a competition to see who can come up with the most creative way of saying they're thankful for wine.

In my family, we have a special Thanksgiving tradition

Where we all pretend to like each other for one day, and then immediately start arguing over who gets to control the TV remote

My family's post-Thanksgiving dinner tradition isn't board games or Black Friday planning.

It's a synchronized, involuntary nap on every available soft surface.
