So the main idea of Thanksgiving is hanging out and eating. These are sequential in most cases...the big meal, then hanging out...but sometimes there are variations. Such as wine on the deck looking across the bay. Such as playing cards with friends who flew in from Brussels for the holiday. 
Such as checking to see if some of apple pie is still available. Such as having a long, intense discussion about Kant (not). Being anthropologists, Charlotte and I have both had long years of training in hanging out...and then writing it up. Hmmmm....like this blog.
