This Friday Faves is focused on that wonderful holiday, Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, many folks go straight from Halloween to Christmas.

This list will give you five reasons that Thanksgiving is great!

1. Turkey Trots

Whats not to like about a Turkey Trot? You run and then you go home and eat turkey.

Find a race and join in. You'll have a blast!

2. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Broadway in your living room, along with huge balloons.

And of course it gives a great chance to welcome Santa Claus into our homes.

3. Miracle on 34th Street

A holiday classic and one that actually starts while watching the Thanksgiving Day parade (see above). Dinner is finished, and unless you are watching football this is a great movie to kick off the holiday season. And speaking of football...

4. Football

I'm not talking just the NFL but the chance on a random Thursday to get outside a play a little football. Unlike that other winter holiday we don't have the distraction of presents so use that time to get outside with your family and play a little football. Or go for a walk.

(This is also in honor of the wonderful Friends Thanksgiving episodes.)

5. Chocolate Turkeys
