Main topic: Whether you are celebrating with family or holding down the fort on your own I thought it would be useful to hear about 12 traditions that my family has around the holidays which may give you some ideas to make this the best thanksgiving celebration on record.

  • I’m in charge of the turkey
  • Watch Elf- humor and together
  • Time to break out the Christmas decorations
  • Turkey bowl
  • Mama is always right – cause if mama aint happy no bodies happy
  • No matter what always pretend like you are glad you are there.-
  • Help out- those plates won’t wash themselves.
  • Gratitude tin/jar
  • Service – soup kitchen or a struggling family.
  • Games and movies
  • 4am shopping
  • Adventure/activity & football
