One good thing about having the Dallas Cowboys in our area: Their annual Thanksgiving Day game gives Night & Day an item to run on a holiday when not much else is going on. In their first Turkey Day game at the new stadium, the Cowboys take on the beyond-dysfunctional Oakland Raiders. Kickoff is at 3:15pm at 1 Legends Way, Arlington. Tickets are $75-239. Call 214-373-8000.

A certain gas drilling company has been so desperate for publicity that it’s hijacked the Sundance Square Parade of Lights by putting its name on the annual holiday celebration. We’re not going to refer to the event by its new name, but we are going to encourage you to go there and try not to let the corporate presence interfere with your holiday cheer. The parade is at 6pm in downtown Fort Worth. Admission is free. Call 817-244-6188.

It used to be that lots of people celebrated Christmas with a goose for dinner, but Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol created a vogue for turkeys that continues unabated to this day. Fort Worth Nature Center examines the role of this bird in its presentation Turkey – The All-American Bird. Wonder if they’ll have some basting and roasting tips as well. The talk is at 1-3pm at 9601 Fossil Ridge Rd, FW. Admission is free. Call 817-237-1111.
