Favorite Thanksgiving ritual?

Love the Turkey and absurd number of side dishes, love the lolling around afterwards, playing charades and then darts, but my favorite part of Thanksgiving is the bonfire we always have at the end of it all. What's your favorite Thanksgiving ritual?

1. Long after dinner, when the dishes are clean

and the leftovers put away, having a cold turkey sandwich with a little cranberry relish and some lefse, and playing a game of cards or Trivial Pursuit.

Left is Write. Making a much smaller meal of the leftovers at night is my favorite. I also spend much of the afternoon reading a mystery novel while the rest of the family sleeps. LOL.

10. Watching "The Last Waltz"

Best concert movie ever... filmed by Martin Scorcese on Thanksgiving Day 1976.

I also give Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" some play.
