Turkey Wrestling

Each Thanksgiving holiday a lot of families spend a lot of time together having a lot of fun eating a lot of food. But when the fun of gorging yourselves on turkey and pumpkin pie wears off, all you'll have left is each other. This is when things can get ugly. You may get tired of sitting around staring at each other all day. It gets very boring. 

At this point the average, American family turns to shopping malls and movie theaters to solve their problems.  We've all been there. Large family, long weekend, sooner or later someone will say let's go to a movie or let's go to the mall. Then two hours and several hundred dollars later, we are right back where we started from, still wondering what to do with all this vacation time together. We try to spend our way out of boredom, but in the end your money is gone, but the boredom always comes back.

So what's a family to do?

I'm glad you asked. The answer is STUFFED TURKEY WRESTLING.  It's fun for all ages, and won't cost you a penny.  Here's how it works:

Choose two opponents of comparable size and strength.

Dress them in extra, extra, big t-shirts.

Stuff those shirts packed full of pillows (until the competitors are as round as a Butter Ball turkey).

Move the furniture aside to create an arena style setting in your living room.

Set your fat little turkeys loose on each other to wrestle.

Little kids and big kids alike will love this game. What can bring cousins closer faster than a good fight to the death? For me there is nothing more heart warming that watching a three year old little girl cheering on her mother yelling, "Crush her, Mommy. Crush her!" And if you record a morning full of these gladiator games, you can spend the afternoon watching home videos and cheering on your favorite turkeys while downing another slice of leftover pie. Win-win-win.

Happy Thanksgiving!
