Friends, Family Flock Together for Unconventional Thanksgiving Feasts
Thanksgiving never really looked like that Norman Rockwell illustration, the one that shows an apron-draped grandma serving a gigantic turkey to Caucasian kin aglow with beatific light.
For most people the nationally proscribed feast looks more like Charlie Brown's, with a loose collection of family and friends dining on a hodgepodge of food as well as a turkey. The glow is the blue-green one coming from a TV tuned to football games.
Since Thanksgiving is a secular holiday with no dictatorial mascot, the rules for its celebration are looser. You can have tamales with your turkey or you can have turkey-shaped tofu.
