If so, there are many ways to turn your ordinary get-together into a simple, but fun, party.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t host Thanksgiving, but every year, I help my grandparents host by adding many fun activities. To add some Thanksgiving cheer into the house, record NBC\u2019s Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade and play it during your event. This will add lots of excitement to your party, while staying with a 99 year tradition.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t make your dinner formal, make it comfortable. Have a buffet set up of different foods that your guests bring, and people can taste each other\u2019s recipes. It is a great way to sit down at the table with your plates and just talk about what you are thankful for.<\/p>\n<p>During dessert is a great time to relax. Have your guests just sit back, enjoy their apple and pumpkin pie, and just talk to each other.<\/p>\n<p>After dessert is the fun part: games. In my family, it is a tradition that we play games. Last year, we played Left, Center, Right and I Mustache You a Question (we played without the costumes). Games are a fun social activity, while getting everyone away from their phones.<\/p>\n<p>Other fun game choices could be Scrabble, Jeopardy, or other board or trivia games. You can learn while having fun, and<br \/>\nsocializing with your family members. Games and conversations are a great way to spice up your upcoming Thanksgiving dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Leave a comment below, and tell me what you do on Thanksgiving, which others could learn from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luke Bartolo \u201827 EE\u00a0Staff Writer Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year?
