My dad hates games, my mother think gaming is a waste of time, my sister don't really gaming while my brother gaming a little.

My wife don't really care, so I am the one and the only one game seriously in my family..

I am the only gamer in the family, my brother a little. I try to avoid video game topics because that is all anybody thinks I talk about, which is not true in the slightest. They all just keep saying that it is an addiction that I need to get out of or something or other...but what they fail to realize is that I game alone mostly because they pushed me into it. My brother wouldn't do anything for me and would encourage his friends to bully me rather than help me. My older sister is the bossy one so why bother talking to a wall? My little sister freaks out over everything so again, why bother talking to a wall? Not that they are like that now, but because of that isolation I game quite a lot.

If I get to play a game with my family, it is a board game, which I am completely fine with....except the only games they ever want to play are the most simplistic card games that aren't thought provoking in any way, which I find to be utterly boring. They "don't wan to play a game for more than an hour" then play those simple ones for two hours...when we could have played a much better game in the same time.

I gave up on socializing with my family a long time ago, which doesn't help my case, but going up there to "all you talk about is video games" doesn't either and I just end up sitting silent for the majority of the time with nothing to do. Oh well.

When I used to go visit cousins/grandparents/etc. for Thanksgiving, gaming was always something the kids would do. And by 'kids', I mean everything from 4(?) to, like, 16/17 years old :)

I remember playing Kung-Fu on my cousin's NES back in the day, and games like SSX On Tour with my cousins on my Gamecube over a decade later. It was especially helpful since some of my cousins don't speak English, but gaming is the universal language! If you can play SSX in Puerto Rico, you can play it in America - don't gotta know text to know that "start" or "A" will get you through the menus, right? Besides, I'll be damned if I'm going to attempt to remember a bunch of "palabras" instead of play video games! :)

Fighting games and arcade sports games were always good choices; I mean, Football and Thanksgiving go well together, right? So it's only natural to play Tecmo Super Bowl, NFL Blitz or All-Pro Football 2K8. Also, turkeys have giblets... so do Mortal Kombat characters, when you rip 'em in half and stuff. Just gibs, everywhere, right? That's, like, Holiday synergy too... or something. But that was all back in the day and I don't do that stuff anymore. I will be playing games on my own for most of the day though :)

We'll be playing some GTA V, Geometry Wars 2, Assassin's Creed 4, Far Cry 3 & maybe some Borderlands 2 together in between watching football & hanging out all together.

Sometimes, but usually not.

Wii Sports makes its annual appearance when we get all the kids together.  Everyone from grandpa to our 3 year old enjoys it.  Once the kids are in bed, we get down to the serious gaming with just a few of us playing split screen or laptop LAN.  This year will likely feature BF4 (if it actually works), and hopefully some Dota 2.

No, we stuff ourselves silly and watch football teams we care nothing about, then we usually fall asleep in a 'turkey induced' haze.

nope , just me and my mother this yr ( like many in the past) ,  and she doesn't care for games much ( altho she did like cooking momma , animal crossing and harvest moon for wii)

It depends.  Mostly, it'll be my son and me playing some games together (if he behaved himself in school this week), and my girlfriend and I later playing CoD:Ghosts online on the Wii U.

We want to but my dad is making work on our house, it has a lot of pros working (we will each get a room) but the games...

I used to when my dad was alive. It was always a great time. I'm now at that stage where my family really doesn't get together for Thanksgiving (until I start having kids of my own). Once I do, I plan on gaming with my family during the holidays.

I used to play Super Mario Bros. or Tecmo Super Bowl with my cousins, but haven't really played games with my family in a long time. The main event of the day other than dinner is the Packers game.

Considering that everyone at every Thanksgiving besides my sister is over 50 and think video games are either the work of the devil or a sign of complete decadence in society, no I don't play games with anyone during Thanksgiving.

Nope no gaming at my parents house unless its board games or card games. My parents do play games on the computer but I hardly think casino games are considered video games actually they might be. The night before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving night hubby and I have our gaming marathons but on Turkey day we are at my parents house and we don't game there at all. Even though we have handhelds to game with we keep them at home so I will def say no to the gaming on the holiday itself. We sit around talk and eat not only the dinner but all of the other stuff like the Pies and other stuff she puts on the table. Have Happy Thanksgiving GI and everyone:)

My mother hates video games…she ended up taking my xbox and smashing it against the wall until all that was left were a bunch of different pieces that looked like they oct belonged to an entire xbox

I was hoping on playing Killer Instinct with my cousins this thanksgiving but I missed out on getting an Xbox one. I got hyped a day late, now I have to wait till black Friday to get one.

I don't live near my extended family, but I will be with my immediate family this Thanksgiving. However, they lack willingness to play games, so I will most likely be gaming alone or with my Guild.

When I was younger and I lived with my parents, Thanksgiving was the best time for gaming. My brothers, my cousin and I would start early, eat food, and get right back to it. We were lucky if we got to set it up on the big tv in the living room. My parents and my aunt would ask all kinds of 'patent' questions like "why is that dog flying a space ship?" or "you guys are shooting at each other?!" Lol! Parents...

Nope. My dad can't even manage to switch inputs between TV & DVD without having to call me for tech support. The man built & wired the entire family room & kitchen, but can't manage basic TV functions...
