At any of our family gatherings, the one addition that was always made was a large ham in addition to the turkey, as a lot of the folks, especially on my Dad's side of the family, are not poultry fans. One time, instead of the ham, when it was just my folks and me, I made a nice meatloaf.

Other than that, I come from two large farming families, so there was always LOTS of food.

And that was followed by the traditional after-meal nap.
