Same here(well I don't have any kids), some of my funnest times ever were the first few years after high school where everybody comes back into town for Thanksgiving and everybody would head out to the bars and it was just a big party. Don't get me wrong the older you get the easier it is to leave people and things in the past and move forward with your own life but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss those times. As far as the turkey bowls, it is just about impossible to find anybody my age willing to go outside and play a game of pickup football nowadays
