Twitter Users Share Their Thanksgiving Traditions


There's no doubt that Thanksgiving is completely different this year for most of us. Many folks have been forced to cancel their plans to see family members. This is a time that's testing us all, and certainly making us dig deep. But with this tumultuous rollercoaster comes an eventual state of acceptance, and a recognition that this storm too shall pass. Before it does, it's on us to find ways to still have fun during the holidays from the safe and cozy confines of our respective homes. Plus, if any family members bring up awkward topics during a potential Zoom Thanksgiving Dinner, you can just pause your screen and blame it on bad reception. That's quite the clutch get-out-of-jail-free card right there.
