So either via comment or Facebook or Twitter share your favorite memories from this age old tradition.
Favorite Thanksgiving Game Memories
Wellesley Sports Blitz 
I lived in Wellesley from my birth in 1956 until 1974 when I graduated from Wellesley High School. My mother lived in Wellesley growing up as well and every year we celebrated Thanksgiving at my grandmother’s house in Wellesley. That meant that the day was scheduled around the Thanksgiving Day Game. I loved that game, everything about it: the fact that the two towns were next door meant every game was well attended because you didn’t have to go far, and alumna attended because they were home for the holiday, and it was full of tradition and flare! When I was in high school it was the best of the football season but I think i remember a school wide pep rally for the game and it was part of the school schedule. It was a blast!
