What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? What is your favorite Thanksgiving tradition or food?

What I am thankful for this Thanksgiving is the uniting of my family. I like the fact that I get to sit down and cherish and eat a fine meal with my family at a table where we are all together.

My favorite tradition off the food would have to be the candy yams.
I like the turkey too, but the yams are the best on the table in my opinion.
