Turkey and mashed potatoes are a given for most people, but many people and families celebrate Thanksgiving with other traditions too. Maybe it always includes a hike. Or helping out a neighbor, family or local group distributing meals. One family makes turkeys out of colored paper and writes something they’re thankful for on each. One friend we know used to invite a bunch of people to their house for early morning coffee and pie every Thanksgiving — everyone brought a pie to share and participated in “Pie for Breakfast.” (It started because so often people were too full from their turkey dinner to eat dessert.) We’d like to know what one of your Thanksgiving traditions is, for an upcoming Sun Journal story. Please email writer Karen Schneider at iwrite33@comcast.net with your tradition by Nov. 1. Happy Thanksgiving!

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
