Hello and happy Monday, and of course, happy October first! I’m not sure why September went by so quickly, but I sure am happy to have October here! Today I’m sharing another block in the Save the Bees Block of the Month – Block 3! I think this is my favorite block so far because of the mini hexagons. I really had so much fun sewing them the other night and might have to work with this size of mini hexagon more in the future!
I used several fabrics from our upcoming Walkabout collection in this month’s block and mixed those fabrics with some Clover Hollow and even some of our Creekside collection. The fabrics from our collections work together so well!
I’m making the smaller version of this quilt along using the supplemental directions (link will be below). So the hexagons for this smaller block were made using the ¾″ hexagon paper templates (find them here). They stitched together quickly, and yet weren’t too small to easily work with.
I first made all of my hexagons, then stitched them together in the pattern design while keeping the papers intact. I removed the papers, pressed the hexagon unit, and then hand-stitched the sewn hexagon piece to the background fabric. Finally, I trimmed the background fabric to the required size and then added the borders.

Our family tradition is ham! No turkeys in this house
Wendy CLEM says
Turkey!I love turkey cooked out on the smoker!
Cynthia Wilbanks says
OK, I signed up for your newsletter! Cool, more to learn – and sew!
Sandra says
We always have turkey with a huge pan of dressing and homemade cranberry sauce. This is one of the few times in the year when the entire family is able to be together for a meal. Such fun. Best is that “hubby” does most of the cooking!
Donna F. says
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition would be the dinner which I have not had in a few years. My sister-in-law does the dinner now . Because she does the dinner, she has control over the menu. I miss the bread dressing/stuffing, the plain peas and jello salad. I do bring the dinner rolls. How can you have dinner without dinner rolls. Some things should not change. My mom says not to upset the day by saying anything. Plus my mom is not able to make the pies any more.
Tina Sheppard says
Eating a big turkey with enough stuffing leftovers for a few days and being with family. It is such a wonderful feeling. Curling up afterword and watching a good movie and falling asleep (tryptophan from the turkey). That feeling of being loved and blessed, thankful for all the wonderful things in our lives. It is also a time that I like to think about the ones that are no longer with us and be thankful that we had them in our lives and what a blessing they were.
Darlene B says
Thanksgiving changes from year to year with being part of two large families. I think the best part is taking time to thank God for all the blessings in my life.
Linda Lovely says
My favorite tradition is giving each person a chance to name one thing they are thankful for during the meal.
Lynn Krahn says
Pumpkin pie for sure next week as I am Canadian. We get to celebrate first so yay.
Betty Rankin says
My favorite tradition is having candied sweet potatoes as we only have them on Thanksgiving and at Christmas, The turkey is special and loved as well as the dressing.. Our family is getting smaller and smaller so it is wonderful when I get most of them home for a holiday..
Jennifer P says
Thanksgiving has evolved from hosting the extended family at my house to the daughters now taking on the hosting duties. They usually work it out among themselves (there are four of them) and then we (the parents) get informed as to location and if I need to bring anything. It is perfect!
Brenda says
My favorite part is, of course, the family we have left still getting together, if possible. As we get older and have more health problems, it can be more difficult for everyone to come together. That makes it even more special when it does work out and we can share those special dishes that we only make at Thanksgiving. Time to be thankful!
Sharon Browne says
It’s always a tradition to have lots of turkey and all the trimmings and a great variety of desserts, and of course lots of leftovers. Also, as Linda stated, have everyone name something that they are thankful for. It is so interesting to see what everyone says.
Barb K. says
We all look forward to a traditional turkey dinner with all the sides (including pumpkin pie)! Family being together is what makes it special!.
Kathleen McCormick says
My favorite tradition was playing scrabble betwen the first celebratory toast and waiting for things to finish cooking. For cooking , it is makign my own cranberry sauce.
Sheree A. says
My favorite part is the listening to my family assemble and trim the tree while I cook dinner. What a fun time!
Jane says
Thanksgiving changes every year now that 2 of my children are married with families of their own. But there is always time for the little ones to make special crafty gifts for everyone!
Sheree A. says
My favorite part is listening to my family assembling and trimming the tree while I am cooking dinner. What fun times!
Bertha G says
Thanksgiving is different now that my parents are gone – I do miss the big family get together we used to have. Now we usually go to my husbands sister’s house, and I usually only prepare one dessert! She won’t let anyone else cook! LOL
Thanks for sharing your cute little hexies!
LINDA Douglas says
We love Thanksgiving with a large roasted turkey and all the fixings! Each one shares his praises and recalls the things they are thankful for (which sometimes takes quite a while!) ! Thank You for your blog+the giveaway!
Hildy says
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in Germany soory can’t help you with that but for family get-togethers there is always plenty of food.
Hildy says
I’ve signed up for your newsletter a while ago and love it!
Tanya says
Favorite Thanksgiving tradition: family time!
Anita L Jackson says
I guess the tradition for our non-traditional family would be that we have the big turkey every year regardless of how many family members come home. The next day, I boil the left over turkey and all of it’s juices, let it cool, then can it. When my husband and I want a quick dinner, we pull out a jar of turkey throughout the year, add noodles, rice or dumpling or even make a pot pie with the leftovers! Waste not —-
E Horton says
My daughter always makes the pumpkin pies with her Uncle! Great bonding adventure for them both
Laurie D says
Our most favorite family Thanksgiving tradition is just spending time together with family and sitting around a table filled with food, sharing stories and laughing together, and loving each other.

Planning the menu that will be prepared sometimes days ahead and knowing I won’t need to cook for several days after Thanksgiving because the leftovers are so good!
Teri B says
Our thanksgiving tradition is to invite a few of our friends to our home since family lives too far away. Each person brings their favorite thanksgiving side dish. After dinner we play games and visit. Thanksgiving is the best day of the year!!
Teri B says

Karla Walker says
My favorite Thanksgiving Tradition is making Cranberry Bread. We read the children’s book, Cranberry Thanksgiving, then, make the recipe at the back of the book. We have been making this recipe for 30 years and it’s the best! The book is by Wendy and Harry Devlin.
Marcia H Baker says
Like everyone , we also haveTurkey, but we have always added cooked rutabagas to our mashed potatoes, I think that came from my Polish ancestors! I love your fabric,
Vicki says
Being with family
Kalen Hahn says
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is getting together with family for a homemade dinner.

Cindy Scofield says
My grown children INSIST that I make “Deb’s Rolls” for our dinner. They love them and I only make them on special occasions.
Jennifer Mowrer says
My favorite thing to do at thanksgiving is getting together with family. Making the favorite foods that people like. Eating my moms yummy pumpkin pie, my sisters rolls, my other sisters sweet potato soufflé, my fruit fluff…
We make crafts either Christmas ornaments or something to go on the table for decorations.
After the food we usually reflect on what we are thankful for. Sometimes writing them down on a paper leaf and then placing them on a paper tree cutout on the wall, or placing slips of papers in a jar and then sharing them.
Then it is board games and puzzles.
Verna A. says
My family comes to our home and we have turkey dinner and maybe watch a little football. We have Thanksgiving with my inlaws at their house, also, so it’s a busy, long weekend for us.

Kathy gray says
I love the fall with all the warm rich colors…thanksgiving give us the chance to be with families…far and near…always have green bean casserole and pumpkin pie….yum yum…
Alice Noles says
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is being with family and sharing a meal. It has changed over the past few years, as my mother-in-law passed away and my mother is in a nursing home. It was always such a blessing to be in one of their homes and sitting under their table. But now, I have become the mother and mother-in-law and my children come to my home. I really appreciate now more than ever the labor of love that was shown to me by my mother and mother-in-law in preparing a feast for everyone.
Susan says
Roasting a turkey, thanking God for all our blessings.
pat Bandura says
Thanks giving has migrated from my MIL’s house to my house to my daughters house., but I always make the pies one apple and one pumpkin. Wouldn’t be Thanksgiving with out the pie
Kathi Bowen says
My favorite thanksgiving tradition is spending time with the family and everyone bringing a favorite dish to add to the holiday feast.
Sue D says
Love the hexagons. Everyone brings food is one tradition. The host family makes the turkey and the rolls. Sometimes I bring a craft/activity for the kids to keep them occupied.

I host Thanksgiving each year for our extended family. One tradition they look forward to is my mother-in-law’s Italian-American stuffing. Among other ingredients, it includes sweet Italian sausage, mushrooms, and mozzarella. I make one huge pan of it for the table, but a smaller one for my son. I keep that one aside for his late night snack. He’s 33 now and I’ve done that since he was a teenager. He just loved his Grandma Caroline and he stiil loves her stuffing!
Lucy Fino says
Our Thanksgiving tradition has always been, well traditional. Turkey and ham and all the fixings. This year we are graciously stepping back so our married daughters can spend time with in-laws and we start a different tradition. Have a happy one!
Barbara Polisknowski says
We have a large family and each year everyone brings a dish. We take turns making the turkey and dressing. Our mother, who is 93 years old, taught us how to cook. She comes from a family of great cooks and we have a lot of fond memories of get togethers with them and enjoying the delicious food, fellowship and laughter. This is always a time where sweet memories are made.
Debra Luraas says
Thanksgiving at my house includes traditional Scandinavian dishes: rommegrot, lutefisk, lefsa, primost cheese. I’m looking forward to making each block of the Save the Bees project. Would love to use Aurifil threads. As a new subscriber, I’m looking forward to reading your newsletter.
Karen A says
Our favorite tradition is that after we have shared a tasty dinner with my sister and her family, we travel to my husband’s cousin ‘s house for game night. We usually arrive for leftovers and stay til late in the evening visiting and playing board games.
Sharon Treece says
We started deep frying our turkey about 7 years ago. and love it.
Robin Klein says
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is my homemade cranberry sauce which I’ve made for over 40yr. Last year my son asked for the recipe to carry on the tradition. Our turkey is brined so it cooks faster and is always moist.

We always have the turkey and all the extras plus of coarse pumpkin pie.
Janet Fedor says
Since all our boys are married getting together is difficult. We now do our Christtmas exchange at Thanksgiving.
Beth T. says
My mom started a Thanksgiving “time capsule” in which each attendant wrote what they were thankful for, and then deposited their responses in an envelope which my mother dated and sealed. To encourage our enthusiasm for this tradition, Mother dated the first date for the “time capsule” envelope to be opened to be in five years, and we were surprised that even after so few years there were some tears shed when we looked back at the entries–family members had passed, little kids were now teens, situations had changed. It was closed up and re-dated, so that it would be looked at again in another decade, along with whatever time capsule was new then. I’m thinking it will be a good idea to scan each “capsule” when it’s opened for the first time–imagine the tender Shutterfly book we can make.
Beth T. says
I follow you on email.
Laura M says
So pretty on the floral background! With respect to Thanksgiving, I still love turkey but have taken to preparing a turkey breast roast which I “open up” and then put over stuffing. Best of both worlds as even a small turkey is too much if we don’t have company.
Linda Isfeld says
Definite time for a family get together as Christmas doesn’t always work out with shift workers. We generally can still have a little campfire as Canadian thanksgiving is much earlier than American thanksgiving.
DJ says
At the dinner table each person says what they are thankful for that year.
Mary VanDoodewaard says
We have a tradition in our church of getting together for a special thanksgiving worship service in the morning

I saved two corn husk dolls that my children made in Brownies more than 40 years ago and I still put them on the table every Thanksgiving.
Margie Adkins says
Our family tradition is stuffing with pork in it.
MJ Tichich says
Our tradition is no traditions! Currently we are all scatter about the US so we may or may not have thanksgiving in November. We might get together late October, early November ….
Bonnie Brodmerkle says
Favorite tradition is the afternoon walk. It gets out and talking rather than football and napping.
Christel Powell says
We love having what we call the “misfits”, folks who don’t have family nearby come for dinner. Very casual followed by Jenja, Trivial Pursuit, card games and just general fellowship. Always a good time.
Linda Schoenbaum says
Hard to choose only one or two…homemade cranberry orange relish, dressing with cut up giblets and best of all family time! With passage of time and busy schedules far away; sometimes the family gets together on speaker phone!
Janet Crossman says
As a Canadian we celebrate earlier, but, probably in much the same way with all family gathered together and eating til we drop.
Iann says
Thanksgiving is all about the people and then the food…..I prefer to eat out and then have all of us at home for ?
Frances says
We always have turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin or apple pie and homemade dinner rolls. I put on Thanksgiving holiday music on Pandora when I get up early to begin cooking.
Gail says
We are pretty traditional with nearly everything home made. The only exception is the jellied cranberry sauce. My daughter thinks that it isn’t really Thanksgiving with any other form.
Frances says

Donna Pfost says
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is making the cranberry salad for the whole gang…..about 25 of us!!. We get together at my sister’s house because her home is the one big enough to handle us all!! The cranberry salad is super yummy and is made with real cranberries, not the jellied stuff from the can, and celery, walnuts, oranges and apples, and pineapple!! We look forward to having it at Thanksgiving and again at Christmas if time allows!! 🙂
Suzy Marshall says
My favorite family tradition for Thanksgiving is getting my 2 sisters and their families (including their grandchildren) together and sharing our meal. We started a new tradition about 13 years ago, where we all take turns telling everyone what we are most “Thankful” for. ♥
Carol says
My husband and I travel each year to the Atlanta area for Thanksgiving making it our yearly tradition.
Gail says
Our favorite Thanksgiving tradition takes place after eating all that delicious food (and before passing out because we ate all that food?)– We all walk to the boulevard near our home to see all the lights that our city puys up every year. Has been a tradition since my sons were young.
Gail says

We always go around the table at Thanksgiving saying what we are thankful for.
Camille says
Several years ago we tried a cranberry chutney instead of our usual cranberry orange relish to accompany the meal. It was well received by the crowd but they also missed the usual relish. So now we make both.

Our family tradition is an unusual one. If we are together or apart, we all make sure to listen to. “Alice’s Restaurant” at some point in the day. Remembering 3 young boys learning the words… Now the grandchildren are working on that.
Told you it was an unusual one 🙂 It is our un-traditional tradition
Sandra Stewart says
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the night before Thanksgiving dinner the grandchildren and I make our homemade sweets. The girls are now in their 20’s and I enjoy this time with them more than dinner itself.
Jennifer Anderson says
Eating yummy food! Lol
LisaRose says
Our tradition is simple. The conversation at the meal revolves around the things we are grateful for. Each person shares one thing that everyone is free to riff on with their own comments and we keep going round and round until the fun is done. 🙂
Monique Carroll says
I mostly get invited as we don’t really celebrate this holiday where I come from.
I love to bring a super delicious pumpkin cheesecake!

Listen to Alice’s Restaurant as we drive to WV. My IN-LAWS moved out of their home after 48 years. We used to gather at their house, but now we rent a house. Packing all the extras to make the same kind of meal you had at Grandma’s is a labor of love. Also on that side of the family we have 5 birthdays within Thanksgiving week, including my DH and DD. My 2 lb. 5 oz. miracle is now in college. Her birth and our survival, makes Thanksgiving all the more special.
Susan White says
Turkey and dressing!
Quilter Kathy says
We always go apple picking at the orchard on Thanksgiving … lots of fresh air and a fun family activity.
Fun hexie block!
Kathy E. says
I am really enjoying the hop to see the 3rd block! I have the first one made, but the month of September slipped through my fingers and now I’m behind! Not too many Thanksgiving traditions here besides always serving turkey. I always do my best to re-create my mom’s famous dressing and every year I get better!
Paula says
Our Thanksgiving is changing, since our son and DIL moved away. Last year we went to Texas to visit them and it was the first time I didn’t make Thanksgiving dinner in 37 years! We’ll be visiting them again this year, so maybe our new tradition is having our children host the day.
Diane W says
We do the traditional thanksgiving. And all homemade stuff. Only the stuffing is from the box. One year, its us and all our kids and their families, the next is my mom and siblings.
Christi says
My kids are cross country now so we head to the shelters and feed others. Actually this year we are working at a dog shelter.

Kathy Lambert says
My favorite tradition is having thanksgiving dinner at my house (that way I get the leftovers). Had dinner at a friends once and went home and there was no leftovers for sandwiches. That was the first and last time I didn’t have Thanksgiving at home. Also like to invite someone from work who has no family around to celebrate with. Great giveaway, thanks for a chance at winning. Since were talking about Thanksgiving. Happy upcoming holidays.

Sheri Bisbee says
Love making the cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie from scratch. Of course, the family get together to not only celebrate Thanksgiving but also our sons birthday.
Daisy Dianne Bromlow says
My all time favorite tradition is fixing – I’m the only one left in the family who does this – the old recipes , traditional cornbread stuffing inside the turkey with all the trimmings , of course the pies and sweet potato casserole , having plenty of leftovers and a heartfelt thanks to God for another year with loved ones . The stories and the laughter and sometimes a tear or three.
Brenda says
Since my daughter and SIL have Thanksgiving lunch with his family, we decided upon a new Thanksgiving tradition with the grands a few years ago. They (and the parents) come over late afternoon/early evening and we have a wiener roast and make smores over our Little Red Campfire! The kids love it! Then they stay with us while the parents go foraging for early Black Friday sales!!
Delaine says
Our tradition is to have a big family dinner of turkey and all the trimmings! Thanks!
Melissa Reynolds says
Making sweet potato casserole and crust less pumpkin pie for my son, his favorites. He is a picky eater so fun to see him enjoy something I cooked.

Our menu changes every year. Different family members bring their favorite recipe. I love the leftover stuffing. Always good no matter who makes it!!
Rita S says
Our families get together to enjoy a potluck dinner. My family of siblings and their families total around 100, so a potluck just works. It’s fun to see if we get new recipes added to the traditional food.
Cheryl Lea says
We always go to my mom’s house for Thanksgiving. It’s one of the few times a year my brothers and I are all together in one place.
Cheryl James says
Every year I make Turkey and cornbread dressing with all the trimmings. Then after lunch we take a nap and watch football.

Of course, seeing our family is the best tradition. We always have turkey, dressing dumplings and pumpkin pie and everyone brings a side dish. to round out the meal.

My favorite family tradition is of course the huge meal and get together. Over the years my family has dwindled to only 3 of us but we are finally adding with grandchildren! This year, our closest cousins will be meeting at my grandmas house to re take a pic we took as children! I can’t wait to do that!
Joy French says
Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without pumpkin pie with whipped cream, roast turkey and dressing. I must go all out this year, even though family is distant.
colleen says
with children growing up and moving on traditions are changing. my hubby and I keep the traditional dinner from changing even if we have to freeze leftovers. lol

We attend our local “Chokecherry Festival” which includes a parade, food fair, demonstrations, dance, and all sorts of other activities. It’s a nice time to visit with the people we don’t see very often.
Susan L. says
Our whole family gets together for our annual “Thanksgiving Extravaganza”. This involves several days of activities b/c people travel from all over. This year our DIL is due to have our newest grandbaby on Thanksgiving Day, so everyone’s plans are pretty much up in the air. I can’t think of a better thing to be thankful for!

ihere has in Arizona the house heats up so quickly, so we started a family tradition a few years back to take the turkey and it’s fixing outdoors. It’s a great time spent outdoors with family and friends who stop by. The turkey is prepared on an open fire in a Dutch Oven.
Anne Hartley Choate says
We always have a great time with family at Thanksgiving. We not only enjoy the food, of course, but then we play some games with the family that engage everybody. And as always, we say something that we are truly thankful for and blessed during that year. Our God is an awesome God and He will always provide some exciting blessings from the previous year that no one could have guessed would have occurred.
Nancy A says
Our tradition is to invite International college students to join us for dinner. Last year we had guests from China, India, Germany, Nigeria.
Katie Lewis says
HI! Our traditions have to do with the prep—my sister has a beautiful set of silver that we all polish together while my brother-in-law cooks (and won’t let us enter the kitchen). AFTER dinner we all wash dishes together while he watches football. It’s completely a fair trade because his dinner is unbelievable and something we look forward to all year!!
Linda Bick says
I make a szechuan turkey that’s wonderful!

Vera Rebrovich says
I went whole-food, plant-based two years ago . . . . so no turkey . . . . no ham! But I still love stuffing (dressing?)! The whole family agrees on that!
Carline Anthony says
We have a traditional turkey/dressing menu but the thing I love is having leftovers. I like a turkey sandwich with hamburger chips (pickles) on it. It is the only time of the year I eat them.
Glenda Morrow says
Family get togethers have always been the highlight of my Thanksgiving BUT Thanksgiving will be a sad time for me this year. My son was murdered last year @ age 40. I will be missing him during the upcoming holidays.

I can’t really say I have any new ideas for you about Thanksgiving. We just do the traditional dinner with lots of family. I like that it’s just about family and sharing a meal. And we DON’T GO SHOPPING on Thanksgiving, that’s a new thing that I can do without!
Jan Winkel says
Turkey, ham and roasted brussel sprouts – can’t have Thanksgiving dinner without it all!

I don’t know if this is considered a tradition, but we take turns on whose house we go to and then assign dishes like a lot luck.

My mother’s Cornbread dressing (she is from Louisiana). Since we lived in Kansas she would always volunteer to bring the dressing. AS a child I remember one Thanksgiving at my grandmother’s house and I was so thrilled that it was snowing (Kansas).

Since my husband and I do not have any extended family, other than our daughters who live in different states not much in the way of traditions. But I do make red jello with sliced bananas topped with whipped cream in honor of my mom (that and home made rolls were her tradition)

My favorite tradition is our Thanksgiving tablecloth. About 20 years ago I bought a tablecloth and had everyone sign their names after dinner. Then I would embroider the names with floss..a different color for every year. That tablecloth is a record of our family…the years neighbors who have now passed joined us, the progression of Dad’s Alzheimer’s as evidenced by his signature, the absence of names as kids moved away, the addition of in laws as children married. It’s priceless to me! And I also love my cranberry sauce…made with fresh berries, orange juice, cinnamon and a splash of vanilla! Yum!!
Lori Spalding says
Being in the house with whatever family members can make it & good food is what we enjoy. My mother-in-law taught me to have pumpkin pie w/ whip for breakfast the morning after Thanksgiving so that too is now tradition for me!
Teresa Knittingdancer says
My mom always baked a ham and a turkey breast but she always put chicken in her chicken and cornbread dressing. We would have mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, squash casserole, coleslaw, sweet potato casserole, pumpkin pie and pecan pie. Sometimes you would also cook a cake. My older sister and I are trying to continue cooking like this for my nephew’s kids so they will have some family traditions to remember.
Tammy says
You cannot run out of pumpkin pie. Figure out how many you need and make one extra?
Pamela Richards says
We all get together for the family get together — which we have been doing for years at Mom and Dad’s
Angel Hawks says
Our family members all write down one thing they are most thankful for this year on a piece of paper which gets placed in a basket. After prayer at our Thanksgiving meal, we pass the basket and family members draw a sheet out and read the note aloud.
Vick says
My family loves marshmallow salad
Diane says
So many great ideas! We have a puzzle-off. Prior to Thanksgiving, my sister and I pick up a few identical puzzles, not more then 500 pieces, and keep the image under wraps. After the big meal and hike, we divide into teams, set up tables and reveal the puzzle. We race to see which team is the fastest at completing the puzzle. The banter and strategies are hilarious!
Diane says

The last 4 years our family has opted to have a country ham breakfast/brunch for Thanksgiving. The meal is wonderful as our Mother makes old fashion lard biscuits. It’s hard to stop eating the biscuits and red eye gravy.
Linda says
Family;traditional food
Sheila says
We love our turkey and stuffing for sure, I grow my own vegetables so it’s nice to have fresh stuff on the table from the garden, like beets, carrots, turnip, potatos. Lots of fresh baked goodies too fall is my favorite time of year to cook and bake, I love the smell of fresh baked breads and rolls and other pastries. We also invite our single friends and co-workers to our home because no one should be alone on a holiday.

Our family Thanksgiving traditions are making sure that we make all of the recipes that have been handed down from our relatives. Our home is open for anyone who wishes to have a free meal. We also plan on the homemade ornament that we will make and place on the tree this year.
JoAnn says
Thanksgiving is always Turkey, candied sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole. I always make pumpkin pie but have to make other pie as I’m the only one who likes pumpkin pie. Having family is my greatest gift as all children now live far away.
Martha Morgan says
As young children we went to the Hudson Thanksgiving Day parade and now as an adult – I watch the Macy’s Parade.
Donica Miller says
Don’t do big meals now for holidays. There’s only 3 of us now. Sometimes do vegetable soup. Other times picnic fare just for the fun of it.

Dixie McAdam says
My favorite tradition is getting our family together for a home cooked meal that we all contribute to put together. In the last few years friends & co-workers alone for Thanksgiving have been invited to join us. Does my heart good to have a good meal with a good visit. Best part is now our kids are the ones saying, “let’s do it here at my house & others are welcome!”
Joyce Stratton says
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition was having the whole family get together. We’d set up tables I. The backyard and cover them with lots and lots of delicious food. After dinner we’d all take a walk.
Lori says
Always a pumpkin pie!

I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. I live in Canada and went to a co-op University in the USA. Canada’s Thanksgiving is the 2nd Monday in October (October 8 this year) when I was at school in the US. When the US had Thanksgiving (last Thursday in November), I was at work in Canada. I didn’t live close to my family when I graduated and I became vegetarian while at school. My family wouldn’t make an effort to provide food I could eat, so I didn’t make any effort to go there.
I have attended other people’s version of Thanksgiving to varying success but I don’t celebrate by myself.
Olga Castillo says
Our family tradition is Thanksgiving at my home. All the family comes. My sister and I cook the turkey and start the fixings and I make the pumpkin and pecan pies on Wednesday night.
Anita Gambrell says
On Thanksgiving, my favorite time is after dinner we all gather in trucks and visit the tree farm , pick out a Christmas tree and cut it , take it home and decorate everything! Then we have snacks and hot cocoa and watch Thanksgiving and Christmas movies!
Carol Andrews says
Thanksgiving is this weekend here in Canada. For 42 years my tradition was to hold the dinner at my place and as many kids, grandkids and great grandkids as possible would arrive. I would cook all the favorite salads, goodies, turkey, ham and roast beef. This year DH and I are moving to an apartment next week. Everything is packed and none of the family will be here. The new tradition will be barbecued steak dinner and hand sewing while DH puts on a movie. I think this might be the start of something great! The other alternative will be to travel 12-14 hours to spend Thanksgiving with one or another of my kids or grandkids. Then I can teach my DILs the old family favourites that I haven’t yet!
Carol Andrews says

Having as many of my kids and Mrs home as possible a good meal, Turkey & the usual with my favorite cranberry pecan chutney. Then going to the local nursing home to visit.

Thanksgiving is family time. Traditions include, trip to our local farmers for fresh everything. Gathering those who can for a meal and then family game of road hockey…. and a camp fire. weather permitting, living on Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia, Canada.
Jeanne LeBron says
Thanksgiving is when we kick off our family holiday cookie baking. Weekends between Turkey day and Christmas are filled with daughters, aunts, grandparents, stopping by with their favorite recipes. I keep bags of flour, sugar, etc., as well as a full pot of coffee (or a bottle of wine) ready. We mess up my kitchen, enjoy family time, and bake together. Each baker leaves half of what they bake, so that others that stop by have a few choice nibbles while they are working.
DIANE Willard says
My favorite tradition is the long prayer before eating where each person says what they are thankful for.
Sally Kitchen says
Hi! I love your blog! My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is gathering with family and enjoying a traditional turkey feast. Dessert is the best : I make 6 pies – 2 Apple, 2 pumpkin, and 2 pecan! Yum!? Happy Thanksgiving , Everyone!

My family doesn’t really have a Thanksgiving tradition – unless you count last minute scheduling! lol I don’t think that’s something you want to imitate.

My favorite tradition is getting together with daughters and grandchildren to make lefsa. A favorite treat this time of the year.

My favorite family tradition is when we hold hands and each one comments about something that they were thankful for during the last year. We don’t have family close by so some friends from my church that would otherwise not have thanksgiving dinner have been coming to my house for the past 10 years…it is lots of fun!

We have a ‘Pie Night’ the week before Thanksgiving. My mother would make several pies (it seemed as if there was one for everyone attending – usually around 30 or more people) for our large dinner. When she passed away, the grandkids decided to get together each year and make pie dough and apple pies (sharing all that slicing!) in honor of Grandma. We’d each take 2 or 3 pie dough filled pie plates home to make pies to bring to dinner. When some of the youngest great-grandkids got older, they thought it was an actual holiday, that all families got together to make the pies. We’d order pizza, slice apples, mix up her recipe for the dough, share memories, bake cinnamon/sugar dough cookies, laugh and have so much fun. A wonderful tribute to my mom.
Brenda Hulsey says
nothing new here. We just usually have it a different day as everyone can’t be everywhere at once!
Lori says
Our family tradition at Thanksgiving is to have a Turkey and a Ham with the main attraction as our family of 33 calls it, Cheezy Potatoes. Melted Deluxe American Cheese with half and half and lots of butter. Slowly melted then poured over shredded potatoes, add a little salt and pepper, then bake for 45 minutes or so at 375 degrees. Everyone says they come together for the Cheezy Potatoes, not for the family. (They are only half joking.)
Lori says

Loved your tutorial on making half-square triangles. Our Thanksgiving tradition is Turkey and all the trimmings as well as pulling out the Christmas tree. Some years we tromp into the woods to cut it.

Pat Simpson says
Tradition in the South is to cook for way more people than will be there. That is anytime, not just a holiday. But you cook food that is only cooked during the holidays and no other time of the year. Sharing with friends and family.
Sheryl MIller says
We love to get together as a family. Unfortunately, one son lives many miles away so he cannot make it. We’ll be glad to see him at Christmas
Trish McCray says
Love having family over…they always want the traditional dinner.
Nancy Bennink says
We started a new tradition two years ago, the first Thanksgiving after my mom passed…my sister and I split her China, and we each got a gravy boat. Those gravy boats now go on both of our tables on Thanksgiving. Mom never used them, was always saving for a special occasion. My sister and I decided everyday is a special occasion, so we’re using those special things our mom kept put away.
Alice Schoene says
Our Thanksgiving Dinner is Turkey, Ham and all the goodies. A wonderful day spent with family!!

Sharon Higgins says
Thanksgiving has always meant my mother-in-laws homemade noodles. Even as she got very elderly she wouldn’t let anyone else make them. Then a few years ago she asked me to make them because she didn’t like the way her daughter’s noodles tasted. A couple of years ago she passed away and I think of her whenever I make the noodles.
Rosalie Joehnk says
Our church started a community Thanksgiving potluck about 5 years ago. Church provides the turkey and all the rest is favorite dishes – much easier to make one dish. We have takeout for the home bound and for those who are working. We take food to the EMS and police. We have singles, couples and families celebrating together.
Laurie Taylor says
Turkey, stuffing, opening up the first jars of homemade pickles and pumpkin pie!
Diana Shea says
My mom always fixes a batch of homemade Hershey’s Cocoa Fudge. The recipe that used to be printed on the can. The dinner menu may change from year to year but mom’s legendary fudge makes each year sweet! Even the great grandkids have learned as a tradition how sweet it is!
Lynn says
Best part of Thanksgiving is the out of town family coming together. My best Thanksgiving ever was when my son was born… been giving thanks for that ever since.

Thanksgiving at the cabin. Fire in the fireplace, deer in the yard, the quiet cold of the Rocky Mountains and, of course, turkey. There are wild turkey running around but we let them run..
