Thanksgiving is today, and for many people that means getting together with family and inevitably participating in at least one or more cliché Thanksgiving traditions.

Results:
If you chose mostly A’s, your family members are definitely 5k turkey trotters! A combination of wanting to be active and outdoors and the competitive drive that will give the fastest runner in your family non-expiring bragging rights contributes to this classic family tradition. Bonus points if your family is so into it that training for next year’s intense turkey trot carries throughout the whole year.
If you chose mostly B’s, your family members are definitely dedicated dessert-makers! They go ham when it comes to making desserts–especially pies. Apple pies, pumpkin pies, pecan pies, any pies–you name it, and someone will be in the kitchen making it. You are never worried about a lack of sweet treats on Thanksgiving, but let’s just hope that the relative who takes cooking control knows what they are doing.
If you chose mostly C’s, your family members are football fiends. The Thanksgiving holiday is basically an excuse to watch hours upon hours of football in truly American fashion, and no one would be surprised if more time during the break was spent sedentary on the couch than in any mobile state.
If you chose mostly D’s, your family members are relative rosters! While getting together with the extended family is great in theory, in practice it can involve drama, drama, and more drama. Maybe some of your relatives love re-hashing old fights or starting arguments with classic catchphrases like “are you still single?” or “what do you think of President Trump?” Whatever the trigger point is, you know that Thanksgiving break is really just a code word for a huge relative roast.
