Our traditions that don't include food: Well, we go buy a real tree the day before Thanksgiving, and decorate it Thanksgiving night. On Thanksgiving night, we watch The Grinch (DH and I started this tradition when we met). On Thanksgiving day, I make DH go out and get fresh mistletoe...which he grumbles about...but I saw that in a movie when I was a child, and I always wanted to have that as a tradition! The day after Thanksgiving, my Mom and I always get in that crazy mad traffic and crowd and shop. Sometimes it makes me nuts, and sometimes I handle it better. One major tradition that our family has is that my FIL and BIL do so many lights that people come to see them from all over. It is really pretty...not tacky like it sounds.
