Thanksgiving Day Traditions

Thanksgiving in the USof A:  Watching the Detroit Lions lose, eating turkey with all the trimmings, taking a nap at 5PM and, of course, gunloonery:
Both men were visiting the residence of a mutual friend for Thanksgiving celebrations when the shooting happened, police said.

An argument over Thanksgiving plans led to a shooting in Burke County early Thursday that killed a man and has his stepson in jail charged with murder.  Deputies say Timothy Bumgarner didn't want to stay at his mother's house for Thanksgiving dinner, and then started arguing with his stepfather about it.

A Thanksgiving gathering in northern Beaufort County turned into a gun battle which led to the death of a Florida man, Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner said.



There are literally a ton of these stories.  Note that these incidents explode many gunloon myths; these stories don't involve unknown intruders or assailants--they involve people who know one another or are related.  I'm guessing alcohol plays a factor as well.
