Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, the article “Fun for the Whole Family” (http://www.avclub.com/articles/fun-for-the-whole-family,65326/) seemed very appropriate. The A.V. Club Staff asked other staff and readers of AVQ&A what they and their families do on Thanksgiving. “We can’t all watch football all day,” the article states. So what in the world are we all supposed to do I’d like to know? People with every type of family, big and small, simply wrote what they do with their families after the meal is eaten and dishes are put away. Some responses surprised me, some of them sounded creative enough that I’d like to join in on the tradition. Someone explained their family loved simply playing cards and board games, which I can relate to most. Another man, Marcus Gilmer, raved about his family’s football watching traditions, which I can also definitely relate to! Sam Adams simply wrote, “The Aquarium is awesome” and describes his newfound love for going to the aquarium with his daughter. That might seem a little silly, but I think it is a great, creative way to spend the holiday, especially if you have young kids.
Others continue to explain their traditions including playing Apples to Apples and watching Pixar movies. One man points out that the new Muppets film is coming out this Thanksgiving and is thinking about taking his kids to go see it. “Fun for the Whole Family” is a clever article giving people the chance to express themselves and give other people just like them the opportunity to become a little more creative with family get-togethers.
