With the most family-friendly holiday of the year coming up tomorrow, we quizzed our Twitter followers to find out whether they're gaming with relatives or saving tomorrow to plow through a single-player title. Here's the best responses.
With turkey day mere hours away, we asked our 22,000-plus Twitter followers to tell us about their game-related Thanksgiving plans. Here's the question we posed:
What's your Thanksgiving gaming plans? Party game with the fam, marathon solo session or something else? Best replies posted, one wins swag.less than a minute ago via web

A few folks are incorporating some (or all) of their family into Thanksgiving gaming events. Here are the folks that will be sharing the fun tomorrow:

A roughly equal number of respondents replied with comment that seem to indicate that they're gaming alone. Given how stressful the holidays can be sometimes, we don't fault any of these folks for wanting some alone time. Here's the best responses:
@GamePro I just got Kirby for my 21st Birthday yesterday, so my plan is to kick back at home with a brewski and play with that ball of yarn.less than a minute ago via Echofon

Our winner this week seems to have the most firm grasp of holiday gaming in mind. We've got quite a few days ahead of us, so why not relax and take it slow? Congrats, maroguts, you have until the publication of the next "Tell us how you really feel" article to send a direct message to GamePro on Twitter and claim your prize. Here's guts' tweet:

Between the ability to share gaming experiences with those closest to you, the opportunity to engage in marathon gaming sessions, and the start of Black Friday gaming deals, Thanksgiving is truly one of the best game-related holidays of the year. Whether you're celebrating with family, friends, or with a stack of new games, we here at GamePro hope you have a happy Thanksgiving.
