What do you DO on Thanksgiving, really, besides eat?

While I'm sure most of us know the "real" meaning behind Thanksgiving, and all the history and whatnot that goes along with it, it shocks me that with my family, there is nothing more than getting together and eating - to this holiday. Of course, chatting and catching up is necessary. But I am talking ENTERTAINMENT. Of course, I have some weird issues with food that prevent me from enjoying this holiday like the rest of my family does, but I'm wondering..What are your Thanksgivings like? What do you DO, besides eat? Do you exchange presents, play games, go to the movies - what do you do?
One year we all went to the casino and ate at the buffet and gambled away our souls. That was okay, although kind of weird. LMAO.
What do you DO for Thanksgiving?
What is the point, besides eating, to this holiday?
And do you have any ideas to make my holiday a little more.. interesting and enjoyable with my family?

Thanksgiving is not a big event in my country, so it was rarely being celebrated. As for ways to make it more interesting, instead of the usual stuff, why not rent a caravan and head to somewhere. Along the way on the road trip, you can make merry with your family and friends.
