Calling all Elphas who are going to celebrate Thanksgiving...
What are some of your family traditions that you guys like to do for Thanksgiving?And a few things may have to change this year so what changes will your family be making? My family and I didn't really have any traditions for Thanksgiving other than getting together and eating a mix of common Thanksgiving foods with a side of rice and kim-chi (IYKYK lol) and my husband's side like to go Christmas tree shopping on Black Friday. No get together this year unfortunately but still remaining thankful for health and family <3 How will you celebrate this year? And of course, what are you thankful for?

HannahBaldovino·Nov 25·1 replyHannahBaldovino·Nov 25·1 replyWell... you've just described my definition of the perfect evening! LOL So many questions.. most importantly: what bubbly will u be opening up?? I think I have a bottle of something waiting for me as well but can't remember the name. AND I love holiday movies. I usually do end up getting stuck on some Harry Potter marathons though lolI'm going to try some mac n cheese. I'm pretty awful in the kitchen and last time I tried mac n cheese it came out really gross and grainy lol. Round 2!

iynna·Nov 25HAHA right - I'm so excited about it :) Bubbly - Laurent Perrier <3 one of my faves out there :) I hope you will also open yours. If you do report back with your thoughts on it :) What are your favorite holiday movies? HP Marathons are also legit so I hope you enjoy that too :) Yum for the mac and cheese - maybe try Kimchi in it? We may as well be creative in R2! I believe in you :)
I'm in the US. In the before times, we would spend Thanksgiving with my husband's family (his parents, his sisters, and their spouses and kids), eating the traditional foods and watching movies. This year, we're all staying in our respective homes. It's also my husband's birthday, and our plans are to make comfort food, get high (it's legal in our state), and probably watch movies and nap and read. Maybe do a Zoom with our families.
Yeah it's so tough not being able to get together with those you care about! But the alternative plan sounds good to me too. What's your favorite traditional Thanksgiving foods?? Mine's gotta be mashed potatoes and gravy
