[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes,

We really do s'mores for Thanksgiving dinner's dessert.  I loathe pumpkin pie and find apple pie, or any pie, to be tolerable at best.  Our fire pit dessert tradition has been a huge hit.  The kids have a blast and the adults enjoy a last glass of wine, a cup of coffee, and everyone is woken up a bit by the chill in the air and there is far more conversation as a result.  Also, the no dessert brigade will usually come outside and enjoy the fire and chat instead of getting up and starting the dishes or disappearing in front of whatever football game is on.  We started doing it a few years ago and inevitably one of the kids in the family asks me around Halloween if we are doing s'mores again this year at Thanksgiving and they seem pretty excited when the answer is yes.  If someone in the family has their heart set on a pumpkin pie (gag), they know they are welcome to bring one and we will cut it up and serve it to whomever would like some.  [/quote]

I love this idea.  I hate the pressure to stuff myself with a piece of pie, but your tradition is more about having fun than focused on eating.  Plus it gives people a reason to leave the house and get some fresh air.[/quote]
