View submission: How long is your Thanksgiving celebration?

My Family is local, so we see each other often; Thanksgiving Day is a 5 or 6 hour event, no more. We begin around noon and start leaving late afternoon.

I think that "local" is what makes the most difference for this, overall. When people live in the same town, they probably visit more often, and can come over just for a few hours and go home to sleep in their own beds that night. When people come in from far away and you don't see them as often, it's nice if they can stay for a few days so you can have more time together.

We have no family that we see so we made our meal, ate and relaxed.  Then fed the dogs and watched a movie.
