If you've ever spent Thanksgiving in the South, you know a lot more happens than a normal "movie scene" Thanksgiving day.

Down here in the South, it's all about seeing how much food you can consume while at the same time seeing how many touchdowns your team can score. College Rivalry Week could not come at a better time!

The crowded space filled with everyone from your third cousin to your great uncle makes for an easy effort to be thankful. Of course, being prepared to answer everyone's questions about how "life is treating ya" is a must. Who knows? They might actually remember what you said instead of asking you again at Christmas.

With the whole family gathered, the South knows how to throw a proper feast with the only thing sweeter than the pecan pie being the southern accents.

If you ever wonder what a traditional Turkey day consists of in the South, this list should help.

1. Grandma's famous turkey dressing. Not stuffing, but dressing.

2. Listening to your dad tell everyone his corny jokes.

3. Everyone wearing shorts and a T-shirt because of the humidity

4. The annual family photo

5. The smell of pumpkin and pecan pie filling the room

6. Talks of a deer hunt after dinner

7. The Iron Bowl smack talk

8. Young cousins running around with energy you wish you had

9. Grandpa's Thanksgiving prayer

10. The eagerness to set up Christmas decorations afterward

11. The Black Friday preparation over coffee

12. Flipping to the Thanksgiving Day Parade during commercials

13. The full tummy nap after dinner

14. Packing up the leftovers for your next meal

15. Reminiscing about past Thanksgivings

16. The annual yard football game

17. The car ride home conversation about everyone at Thanksgiving

Give or take a few, if you experience a majority of these things during the holidays, you might be in the middle of Thanksgiving in the South.
