Creating a Thanksgiving memory

Designate a particular tablecloth for your family Thanksgiving celebrations.

Ask your guests to sign and date each message, as you’ll be using the same tablecloth year after year.

Stuffing the turkey with kids

If time allows, let the kids take turns stuffing the traditional bird.

It’s a messy job and most of the stuffing may end up on the floor, but the kids will remember it.

Remember, you are in control of the hand-washing before and after the stuffing begins and ends.

Take the picture as soon as possible to avoid orange sweet potato stains on starchy white shirts.
