With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we asked the Scribe staff about their family traditions for the annual holiday.

I get up early and watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV. My family gets together at my parents’ house and we eat Thanksgiving dinner/lunch. Later that day, we go see a movie at the movie theater.

Besides the obligatory hearty meal, we usually take a long walk as a family, whether it be through along the Massachusetts coastline or into a local town center.

I wake up, workout, go see family and we eat a bunch of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing; and then we move to pumpkin pie and coffee. And then I go home and enter a food coma — and I’m not back until at least Saturday.

My family and I get together and eat too much food and watch football all day.

Every year, my mom likes to make Jell-O, raspberries and sour cheese which all go into one dish. It sounds very strange, but it is actually quite good! It’s the highlight of my November.

My favorite Thanksgiving traditions are setting up the Christmas tree, hanging the stockings by the fireplace, baking Santa-shaped cookies and decorating the house with lights.

My family and I do a road trip to visit my aunts, uncles and grandma in Arizona. I always have such a fun time and Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without them.
