Sure. One year, a family decided to have a Thanksgiving potluck. Everyone was supposed to bring a dish. Uncle Bob, who was known for his forgetfulness, showed up with a bag of marshmallows.

Mishaps during the meal preparation can be really funny. Like when someone accidentally burns the stuffing or forgets an important ingredient. Another element is the family dynamics.

Say, they try to dress up the turkey in their doll's clothes before it goes in the oven.

At a Thanksgiving gathering, we had a tradition of going around and saying what we were thankful for.

My family always has a big Thanksgiving football game in the backyard. One Thanksgiving, my little cousin, who was determined to be the star player, put on his dad's huge football pads.

We were all in stitches laughing at his determination and clumsiness.
