Here in the Land of Enchantment, nothing says “family gathering” like whacking a papier-mâché animal until it bleeds candy. First you'll need to buy or make a piñata. The fabulous bird you're looking at now was hand-crafted by our friends Jada and Crash (call 401-8794 to order). There are instructions on how to make a simple balloon-based turkey piñata at www.familyfun.com.

Once you've got your paper bird, the rules of the game shouldn't have to change, except for a few minor details. Guests can relive the excitement of the first Thanksgiving by wearing authentic pre-Colonial “uniforms.” If no costumes are available, provide sets of pilgrim and Indian blindfolds, each adorned with feathers or an ornamental square buckle. And instead of hitting your piñata with the same old stick, why not stab it with a turkey baster?

Now here's the best part: We took all of your favorite Thanksgiving side dishes and converted them into bite-sized candy recipes! Just stuff your turkey with a batch of individually-wrapped treats, some store-bought caramels and a handful of Wild Turkey mini-bottles, and you're set for the best Thanksgiving ever.
