One funny Thanksgiving turkey story is about a family who had a pet turkey named Tom. Tom was always strutting around the yard and thought he was the king.

They made a special meal for him and Tom seemed to enjoy all the attention.

So they prepare a turkey for Christmas, which leads to a series of comical events as their neighbors try to explain the proper Christmas meal traditions.
In one story, a young boy was given the task of looking after the Thanksgiving turkey. He became so attached to it that he tried to hide it from his family. He put it in his treehouse.
