Thanksgiving Live Blog: 4:58

Dinner. Dessert. Bingo. Yes, this year Mom put together a friendly game of bingo to keep everyone entertained as they digested. An hour into it and all I had won was a set of coasters with a picture of a cornucopia on them. I was still doing better than my dad, who had only won a tape dispenser with no tape in it. I started getting hot toward the end and came out with a reindeer doormat, and my best prize yet, a five-dollar bill. My uncle traded me a key chain flashlight for the set of coasters (actually he refused to take the coasters but I hid them in his bag anyway. My aunt was the big winner as always, walking away with sudoku puzzles, a word search, candles, a box of Good N' Plenty's and five-dollar bill.

Next year I'm going to buy the prizes. I can't wait to see the look on my Aunt's face when she unwraps a shoehorn, or when my brother opens up a rectal thermometer.
