Hey Pandas, What Are Your Weirdest Thanksgiving Traditions? (Closed)

Seems weird from many of the tales I'm reading - my family of 12-16, depending on who can come and who can't, gather each year at my house. We each contribute to the meal by preparing the dishes we like to make and that the group likes. We eat, sit around and talk and laugh, sharing 1 - 2 bottles of wine. The TV doesn't come on but if the weather is nice we may go outside and target shoot, play cornhole or horseshoes. No drama, no selfishness, no arguments, or hard feelings if you can't make it. We'll see you next time.

*Everyone* helps cook, and *everyone* helps clean up.

My family has tired of the 'standard fare' on Turkey Day {repeat on Xmas}. I perfected all of those recipes decades ago, and have made them countless times. It's a large, heavy meal, and then all of the desserts, finger foods, and munchies. It's a LOT. Also that big meal twice in two months, it's just too much, too close.
So now (for tday & xmas) we have a random family favorite like lasagna, pasta salad, and garlic dinner rolls, or green chili enchiladas, Spanish rice, 7-layer dip with lime tortilla chips, or what we had yesterday, Chicken pot pie, grilled asparagus, and a green salad.
The nicest part is I never have to scramble to find ingredients because I'm not buying what everybody else is! :D I'm also not competing with you for what you need, it works out well for everybody.

Family weigh-ins before and after the feast. The goal is to see who can gain the most. One year it was won by a rail-thin 11 y.o. boy who drank a massive amount of water to ensure victory.

Celebrating something that basically decimated 80 / 90 % 0f the indigenous population of the Northern Americas through 'Old World ' diseases brought onto the continent by the invaders / 'settlers' , then persecuting their antecedents into near extinction in the rapacious, idiotic and needless grab for land and expansion. Lets not turn our eyes away from the closer to home problems of ongoing prejudice and lack of Federal funding for native Americans of every tribe .... I fear under the orange fascist it will only get worse.
