That means good food and great company. Some sat in front of the TV watching football all day, others scrolled on their phones, and the cooks spent the whole day locked away in the kitchen. Play in the backyard or head to the nearest park before it gets too dark. Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Family Football.

Thanks to Hulu , Netflix and On Demand, you don’t have to spend $100 to take the whole family out to the movies.
