A Thanksgiving Memory to Cherish
One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving has always been the desserts, but even more so, the gathering of everyone together. I remember a particular Thanksgiving when I was about 9 or 10 years old. After the meal, which included a delicious array of desserts, it was time for the late afternoon snack—a tradition in itself.
I was eagerly pulling out the homemade chocolate pie with whipped cream from the fridge, carefully positioning everything on the counter to take a slice.
In my excitement, I misjudged the balance, and the dish slipped, landing whipped cream side down on the floor. I was devastated until I realized that only the whipped cream had hit the floor.
I quickly scooped up the remaining crust and chocolate onto my plate, knowing I could easily get more whipped cream. Cleaning up the mess turned into a comedic moment that everyone found amusing. This memory, over 30 years old, remains a cherished story among those who were there that day.
Fun Traditions to Try
If you're looking to add some fresh excitement to your Thanksgiving celebration, here are a few fun traditions to consider:
Recipe Swap: Invite family and friends to bring a dish and share the recipe. It's a great way to discover new favorites and enjoy a variety of flavors.
Gratitude Jar: Have everyone write down what they're thankful for and read them aloud during dinner. It's a heartwarming way to reflect on the year's blessings.
Outdoor Walk: Take a post-dinner walk together to enjoy the crisp fall air and admire the changing leaves. It's a refreshing way to bond and make room for dessert!
