It's a holiday, let's share some simple stuff - like your favorite Thanksgiving recipes/traditions

What do you guys do for Thanksgiving? We get the extended family together and do the standard fare - turkey, stuffing, screaming children, my brother's insanely large and clumsy german shepherd, etc. Mom's stuffing has chestnuts in it, and raisins or apricots or something - I never quite liked the chestnuts until now, now they're tolerable. This year we're trying the whole fried turkey thing out back - cooks in 45 minutes. I'm taking a video, will post it here later. I suspect our Thanksgiving tradition is pretty standard. Oh yeah, we also usually celebrate my birthday, often with a birthday pumpkin pie (my bday is always around, and often on, Thanksgiving - the 27th).

Your traditions, foods, etc?
