Five Fun Ways To Celebrate Thanksgiving 2010
When is Thanksgiving 2010? November 25th! Mark your calendars.
Thanksgiving is an amazing traditional holiday for most families. While you may have your own
methods of celebrating Thanksgiving, there are many ways to celebrate. Thanksgiving is a holiday that
celebrates togetherness, family, and joy. Make Thanksgiving 2010 one to remember by celebrating five
different ways.
Football
This one is no surprise. Every year, thousands, if not
millions of families get together on Thanksgiving and
watch football games, as if part of a national tradition
to do so. Make Thanksgiving 2010 different by
taking it one step further: don't just watch the game,
get outside and play it! Some exercise will put
everyone in a good mood, and the competitive spirit
will undoubetedly spark some fun before the eating
festivities begin. Not to mention, playing football on
Thanksgiving will help ensure that everyone has an
appetite before dinner begins. Just make sure that Thanksgiving 2010 doesn't end in the emergency
room; flag or touch football is good enough.
The Macy's Day Parade
Many families watch the Macy's Day Parade every
Thanksgiving. This year should be no different.
Thanksgiving 2010 will host one of the biggest
Macy's Day Parades in years, so make sure you are
there to watch it. You can even make this fun and
competitive by guessing what the balloons and floats
will be, and even making fun bets on which balloons
will deflate, pop, crash or terrorize the crowd by
falling from the sky. It doesn't usually happen, but it
makes watching the parade that much better. See the
picture of Grover to the left to get an idea of the
extreme size and mass of one of these objects, and
also see how uncomfortably close he is getting to the
crowd. If you have young children in your house, they will love waiting for Santa Claus to show up at
the end of the parade as well.
Turkey Carving Contest
Carving contests are usually reserved for Halloween
and lumberjack events. Thanksgiving 2010 can be

the start of a new tradition: the turkey carving contest. Let three or four people participate in this even
by seeing who can carve the thinnest slices of meat, who can perfectly cut the drumstick from the
turkey body, and you can even make a time-trials event with the fastest carver taking home the glory of
winning the contest. Obviously, this game should be for the adults in the family, and safety will need to
be a number one priority when sharp objects are involved.

Pie Eating Contest
Without a doubt, one of the most coveted events
during any Thanksgiving celebration is the
ceremonial pumpkin pie that follows dinner. Spice
Thanksgiving 2010 up a bit. This year, make sure no
one gets any pie until after the regular dinner is over,
and hold a pie eating contest. Whoever eats the most
pie without barfing will be the winner. Also, make
sure the competition is fair for everyone in all age
groups by eliminating the need for a fork. The less
dexterous children will surely appreciate it, and
grandma will be sure to get a kick out of it as well.

Christmas Movie Marathon
After everything else is said and done, everyone is
full and tired, and people are ready to relax in front of
the television, it's time for the Christmas movie
marathon. Thanksgiving 2010 is no different than any
other Thanksgiving. The second it's over, it's time to
have a nervous breakdown that Christmas is only
weeks away, and you need to find a way to come up
with some money quick. Reinforce this fact for
everyone by holding a Christmas movie marathon at
the end of the night, so that everyone in your home
will now the Holiday Season has arrived. Some classics include Christmas Story, Dr. Seuss' How The
Grinch Stole Christmas, Merry Christmas Charlie Brown, and It's A Wonderful Life.
There you have it - Five fantastic ways to celebrate Thanksgiving 2010. Thanksgiving can be so much
more than turkey, potatoes and stuffing. Incorporate some or all of these events into your holiday plans
this year, and Thanksgiving 2010 will surely be a memorable one for everyone you enjoy it with.
