Thanksgiving tradition
Annual November feast
A Thanksgiving tradition is any custom practiced regularly around the American holiday—gathering with family, eating turkey, watching football, expressing gratitude.
The phrase often appears when someone describes their household's particular observances: It's a Thanksgiving tradition to go around the table and say what we're thankful for.
Some traditions are nearly universal; others are idiosyncratic family rituals.
