Thanksgiving Memories

Some of my happiest memories were spent at the holidays surrounded by one set of my family or another. I always considered myself lucky because I would get to feast first at one parent’s house, then at the other. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that I get quickly burned out on turkey and dressing now, getting to eat twice on the holidays.

No matter what was served during the holiday season, I always enjoyed seeing family more than anything. The games of football we would play, the stories we would tell, and the songs we’d sing—generally, the memories we made.

I would love to hear stories of your favorite Thanksgiving memories. So, I want to challenge you, my reader, to regal me with a remarkable family memory you have. Make me feel like I am there with you. Let me see the memory through your eyes.

Requirements:

1. Write a Thanksgiving memory between 600-1000 words
2. Post to the Journal Community
3. Post the links to the comments here
4. All entries are due by November 22, 2023, at noon CST

I will post my favorite memories in an article on Thanksgiving Day.

I’m looking forward to reading all of your memories.
