  1. TURKEY

Of course, number one has to be the main attraction: the Turkey! Many people spend a lot of time and money trying to find the perfect turkey. Let’s be honest here, as long as there is turkey, no one cares that you have the biggest turkey on the block; they just care about how the turkey tastes! Whip out that old family recipe and make it the best turkey in Thanksgiving’s history.

  1. PUMPKINS

 

If you’re anything like us, you wait all year for pumpkin season. There are so many options: pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pastires, pumpkin pie and pumpkin picking! Over the past few years, pumpkin has become a trademark for the entire Thanksgiving season. 

  1. CRANBERRY SAUCE

Cranberry sauce is another Thanksgiving staple. It is easy to pull out of a can and quick to serve with no baking necessary. If you want to be fancy, you can take the time to make it by hand and add real cranberries and sugar. Add a little bit of sweet to your annual dinner and make it a treat with the family!

    1. FAMILY AND FRIENDS

    The best part of Thanksgiving is definitely getting to see your entire family. It can be exhausting and stressful, but it is the one of those times during the year where everyone comes together and enjoys each other’s company. This is a time to be most thankful for the people that care about you most; don’t forget to thank them for all they have done for you!

    1. A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING

    A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is a classic! Most everyone’s seen it at least 200 times and whether or not you agree it’s good, you have to admit it’s a Thanksgiving tradition. So gather the family around the television on Thanksgiving’s eve, and watch the movie of the season. Who knows, maybe you’ll get some laughs out of it.  

    So, make this Thanksgiving something to remember.  On top of that, don’t forget about Friday- make it a time to buy great deals for Christmas with your friends and family!
