1. Are you sticking to traditional Thanksgiving foods this year, or are you being culinarily adventurous?

peace amid unpredictable circumstances

4. Share one vivid Thanksgiving memory. It doesn’t have to be deep or meaningful, just something that remains etched in your memory.

6. Do your pets get any left-overs?

Yes.

7. Does your family pray before the big meal? If so, do you join hands while seated, stand, repeat a formal prayer or offer a spontaneous prayer? Who does the praying?

Yes, we pray. I'm not sure it is ever the same year to year.

8. Will you be watching football in the afternoon? If not, what will you be doing?

Yes.
