Thanksgiving was always a very difficult day at our house when I was a kid. The stress of preparing that elaborate dinner used to drive my mother through the roof.

By the time I was teenager, we'd all had it. None of us liked turkey anyway! So Mom made tacos that Thanksgiving, and we loved 'em. It became a family tradition for the rest of my school years.
