Thanksgiving Traditions

What Thanksgiving tradition are you looking forward to? How did this tradition start? Is there a story behind the tradition?
I'm looking forward to a couple Thanksgiving traditions my family always takes part in. One is watching the the Iron Bowl, the Auburn-Alabama game. This has always been a tradition because most of my mom's side of the family is Auburn University alumni and they are all die hard fans(until coming to USC, I was as well). Its something I look forward to every year because everyone is always into the game. It creates a very dramatic house for a few hours. I guess this tradition started when my grandparants moved to Auburn 50 years ago when my grandfather became a professor. Since then, the family was raised in orange and blue. Another tradition I'm looking forward to is the annual trivial pursuit game. My relatives are all very competitive and are really serious about it. This makes it really fun to watch. Also, I always look forward to the one or two questions I can answer each game. They are usually general knowledge questions that involve geography or history. I'm not sure how this tradition started or if there is a story behind it, but for as long as I can remember the men of the family have always had an intense game of trivial pursuit against the women every Thanksgiving. I think the women have only won once
