5 Things to Do Thanksgiving Afternoon

You're replete with turkey and stuffing (I just like the stuffing!). Your hubby's doing the dishes (or watching football). You've been through all the Black Friday ads (you ARE going out, aren't you?). So now what? Here are five fun activities you can partake of (or you can just take a nap. I'm down with that!)

1. Go on a walk. Can you believe we don't have snow here in New England yet? This may be my last chance to get some fresh air before I am in self-imposed hibernation through the winter. I'm going for a trek in the woods across the street.

2. Play a board game. Our current family favorite is Apples to Apples Junior - The Game of Crazy Comparisons! . It's hilarious! Even our non-reading (well, kind-of reading) little one can play. She just picks any random card and tosses it in the pile. She wins more than half the time!

3. Scrapbook. Remember that? (Can you believe I haven't done a paper-based page in a L-O-N-G time?? I'm getting a little worried about my mental health.)

4. Read! My current fave is The Hunger Games. This book will keep you up all night reading it! Better yet, my 11-year-old loved it as much as I did. We already devoured number two in the series and are anxiously awaiting #3.

5. Make an advent calendar! This is the perfect time to pull out the scrapbooking supplies and get to work on a calendar for December. Need some ideas? Check out this post.

Okay, what are you doing after you eat? (Besides napping, of course)

All great ideas. Including the napping. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Lain! :)
I hope it's a wonderful day, no matter what you decide to do after dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving Lain! :) Great ideas. I need to forward the name of that book to my FIL. I'm sure that he would love it.

As a French-canadian living in Quebec, I don't remember having officially celebrated Thanksgiving with my family. BTW, we don't have any snow either right now which is a great thing in my book! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving! We celebrated ours last month in Canada, so just another Thursday for me.

Thanks for the book recommendation, looks good!

Happy Thanksgiving! We're not eating dinner until this evening, but I can still do all of these things this afternoon!
