What Is Your Most Fun, Craziest Thanksgiving Memory?

Turkeys that caught fire, food fights with dinner rolls - all part of the fun of past Thanksgivings.

Thanksgiving dinners don't always goes exactly as planned. Here are some funny highlights Patch readers throughout the region shared on Facebook. Enjoy!

  • Michele C - When my very young son was walking around with ice cube and could not find a place to put it. So he placed into my grandfather's pants pocket.
  • Michael P - Yeah, my moms turkey did catch fire.
  • Liz R -  At 13, I stole the pumpkin pie from off of the top of the fridge where my mom had hidden it and snuck into the bathroom with a fork and ate the whole thing.
  • Michelle L - Family food fights with the dinner roll. Lol
  • Jill O - A lil mouse making his or her presence known right as we sat down, never saw my mom move that quick!! Reminds me why I give thanks to have had her in my life
  • Andrea S -  I had the stove short out and start an electrical fire in the walls of my home while making the turkey. Fire trucks the whole nine yards. Not funny that year but looking back it certainly is. We don't worry about burning the turkey just the house.
  • Liz G -  How bout being bored as a kid. Not appreciating the apples and walnuts in the stuffing, etc. but now.....valuing this tradition more than ever
