And carving the bird is a big dealwho carves it is often a sign of
the head of the family. Spending time with family/extended family.
Its one of the biggest travel days of the year in the US as people
get home to their families. Macys Day Parade in NYC AMERICAN
FOOTBALL!!! Eating until you are totally STUFFED. Napping (falling
asleep) because you are so full. Then still eating ONE LAST PIECE
of pumpkin pie with whipped cream. The Wishbone Some families
include breaking the turkey's wishbone as part of their
celebration. The wishbone is found attached to the breast meat in
the turkey's chest. After the meat has been removed and the
wishbone has had a chance to become dry and brittle, two people
each take one end of the bone, make a wish, and pull. Whoever ends
up with the larger part of the bone gets their wish!
