For me, this holiday has gone down a knotch or two since I've become a vegetarian, but some Thanksgivings my family does make a solid effort to provide a nice variety of food. I just like the feeling of Thanksgiving...very laid-back, comfortable, and well into the heart of Autumn (my favorite season). I usually have to pretend to be tired and full like everyone else after dinner, because on a diet of artichokes and yams and bread I don't feel all that full.
