My husband and I love a good comedy. This holiday season you and your kids will be able to sit down and enjoy the animated feature, The Nutty Professor, featuring the voice talents of Jerry Lewis and Drake Bell. This modern animated sequel to the 1963 classic will be released on November 25, 2008 from Genius Products, Rainmaker Entertainment, and The Weinstein Company. Here is a little synopsis:
When Harold gets his hands on the recipe for his grandfather’s secret elixir, he creates a potion that transforms his personality to be more confident, cool, and suave. Unfortunately this alter ego is also obnoxious and destructive. Harold must face his insecurities and fears while learning to believe in himself without the help of any special concoctions. This heart-warming, animated film, much like the 1963 classic is sure to be enjoyed by the whole family.
Be sure to pick up The Nutty Professor this holiday season!

Having a slice of each of the four pie my grandma would make (well she made 5 but I don’t like mincemeat pie). I miss my grandma and her pies, I always think of her when I make two pies for thanksgiving.
We go around the table and say 5 things we are each thankful for in the past year.
It’s tradition for my mom to make two pumpkin pies. One for the family and one for me.
My favorite tradition is when we go around the table and everyone says what they are thankful for.
We pig out together then play games.
We would all go hunting in the morning and then meet for a huge dinner..
My favorite tradition is my grandma making her yorkshire pudding and telling us stories from her Thanksigiving holidays
We go to my mom’s , eat and then go take a nap! Then off to the in-laws where we eat and take another nap! It’s sooooo great!
grandmas baked bread fresh out of the oven.
The kids all make turkeys with their hands to cut out and see how much they’ve grown.
We eat like there is gonna be no tomorrow and then we all nap and watch watch movies.
just cooking with everyone is fun
We eat and watch football. A great day.
A recent tradition of ours is to watch the movie, ‘Home for the Holidays.’ It’s become our Thanksgiving ‘A Christmas Story.’
favorite tradition is going to the shelter, seeing what others do not have makes you appreciate what you have even more
Thanksgiving dinner with the entire family
We do not have any traditions any longer. We used to, but things have changed. We still have turkey every year though! Thank you.
My favorite tradition is cooking with my family and teaching my kids a new recipe each year.
having a feast early in the day, and then all taking a nap so we can wake up early for black friday shopping
Playing board games
hanging around with family
I love making Pork!
well we dont really have one except for making/baking turkey.
Cooking with my husband and our son is our helper.
We love it.
After dinner we all gather in the living room and watch a dvd movie.
looks like a cute movie
Right before we eat dinner, we all say a prayer together and then we all go around the table and tell each other what we are thankful for. I really look forward to this each year. The younger kids come up with some really cute things that they are thankful for and I enjoy hearing theirs the most.
Thanks so much for this giveaway.
My favorite tradition in our family is after we say grace, we all join hands and everyone tells just one blessing they have received that year. Then every person tells one nice thing about the person to their left. Makes for an interesting conversation starter when there are strangers at our table.
Watching football.
We like to play board games
We have certain dishes that have to be made each year even though my grandparents are no longer with us. Grandpa always had to have a dish of walnuts and raisins mixed together sitting on the end table and Grandma always had to have key lime pie and pineapple cream pie and red velvet cake for desserts. Although the family no longer all gather at the homestead as was the rule when they lived here we still try to provide some of that feeling for those of us who are here on Thanksgiving telling stories of the past years together. While everything is cooking we all gather to watch the parades while munching on fruits and breakfast . This year will be a little harder for Mom as Grandpa passed away Sept. 6th. of this year.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is really the day after Thanksgiving when I go shopping with my MIL.
football!
We all tell something that we are thankful for.
The kids and grandkids come to our house for a great Thanksgiving dinner.
This movie is hilarous i love it!
Its gone on for years and generations, but a friendly game of football (now with so many young ones again-it’s tag) in the afternoon. Works off all the calories of Thanksgiving Dinner
i want to win
A great movie to have around for the grandchildren when they visit.
we go over to my grandparents. we all gather in the living room and watch the “macy’s thanksgiving day parade”, while gram, my mom and my two aunts prepare the turkey dinner. when dinner is ready, we gather in the dining room. eat, talk, laugh, eat some more and basically just have a good time. then it’s time for dessert, provided we can all stuff our faces with it. after the ladies finish with the dishes and get everything all cleaned up, then we all gather in the living room again and play “scattergories”.
cooking
a good dvd after dinner
Everyone getting together.
we eat turkey every year, this is our tradition. Turkey is delicious. We like it, and it likes us. yay.
eat and relax so we can eat more deserrt
Eating at moms house.
Traveling to the in laws for dinner
My favorite tradition about Thanksgiving is spending good quality time with relatives that I have not seen since last Thanksgiving. Oh, and the food is really really good also.
My favorite tradition is that in our family we take turns making Thanksgiving Dinner and whoever cooks doesn’t clean.
My favorite tradition is before we eat we say a prayer and go around the table so each person can tell what they were most thankful for that year. Young and old all get their turn
Eat a filling traditional early dinner and sacking out to watch football. Thanks the giveaway!
Pigging out until we’re ready to explode and then laying around watching holiday movies and picking at leftovers.
family and love and laughter around the table
Every year we drive 2 1/2 hours to my mother-in-laws house to have Thanksgiving dinner with my husbands family, then my step-sister-in-law scour the black friday ads to leave early in the morning on our all day shopping trip!!
Thanks for the great giveaway!!
our favorite thanksgiving tradition is having each person at the table turn to the person to their right and tell them why they are thankful that this person is in our life.
Wish I could be a little more orginal than what has already been said, however, my favorite tradition is also when we go around the table and take turns in saying what we are thankful for.

I have 3 sisters, when we were young and needed money we would hold ‘nickel sales’ on our beds. Description: We would gather the items we no longer played with/needed, put them on our bed and let the other sister ‘purchase them for nickels’.
Fast forward years later my mom decided that on Thanksgiving we would do nickel sales, the first year she surprised us, we were only told to bring nickels. After dinner we went into one of our old rooms and on the bed were items we had to bid on, person with the most nickels got the item. Well that started our tradition, it has since grown very big with all of us being married, children, etc… It sounds crazy but it is a blast to attend. Items have since gotten bigger as well, no more broken barbie dolls!
So that in a nutshell is our Thanksgiving tradition, brings us back to our youth each year while we giggle together like we did in years past.
Happy Thanksgiving
We always play board games after dinner! thanks, [email protected]

At Thanksgiving, we all gather around and make a fruit salad (my grandmother’s recipe). We have been doing this since I was a young child and I am now 50. My grandmothers passed away over 40 years ago but we continue the tradition in their memory.

Before we eat, we all have to let everyone know what we are most thankful for. Thanks for having the contest!

Our family has continued getting smaller, so we are Thankful for the family that we have left. One tradition we still have is to go around the table and tell about what we are thankful for. It is not original, but it is amazing to find out just how fortunate we are. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
When I was little I watched the Macy’s Day Parade while mom cooked Thanksgiving dinner.Now my son watches it while I cook Thanksgiving dinner.
My whole family gets together for the day and enjoys the food then we all hang out on the couches talking!
