Thanksgiving Traditions: What Should Stay & What Needs to Go?
Shownotes
Thanksgiving traditions are sacred… until Terri decides she’s done cooking the turkey. 😂
In this episode, we’re debating the Thanksgiving traditions worth keeping, changing, or retiring altogether. Tyerra is fighting for her beloved turkey, Terri would happily remove it from the menu, and we’re officially letting the audience settle the argument: Team Turkey or no turkey? Your vote may determine what gets served at our Thanksgiving dinner.
We also get into stuffing, football, the differences between Canadian and American Thanksgiving, the kids’ table, whether adult children should start contributing to dinner, and one slightly embarrassing confession: neither of us has ever tried pumpkin pie. Should we?
But beyond the food debates, we talk about why Thanksgiving is one of our favourite family holidays—the traditions, being together, and having an excuse to actually spend the whole day as a family. And now that Terri is entering her empty-nester era, apparently Thanksgiving is getting an upgrade. Pumpkin-carving contests, activities…the woman has plans.
