My thanksgiving includes the normal American rituals. Turkey, football, and "family fun." Every year my grandparents, cousins, and aunt come into town for the special Thursday in November. We start off the day playing a "touch" football game with our friends and family. Fathers and their sons go head to head to determine who the real men of the family are. We play the game at Ashland Park in the morning so everyone is home in time to season their turkeys.
Our family grills the turkey every year which is a bit unorthodox. Kentuckians usually resort to frying the bird, which I find fitting. I typically help my little cousins create homemade butter. Which includes shaking a mason jar for at least an hour. After we feast my family migrates to the living room to fall asleep to a crappy football game. My grandma and cousins go to bed early so we typically wrap up around 9 and do it all over again the next year. Every year I have basketball practice the morning after Thanksgiving and Coach Brown insures we regret the third plate of food we consumed
