The fact we’re back to some semblance of normalcy. I don’t panic when I forget my mask!

My dad’s sausage and grapes stuffing recipe – YUM!

Any fun Thanksgiving traditions you’re looking forward to?
I always watch the Macy’s parade while I’m cooking the stuffing.

What are you thankful for this year?
This year I’m thankful for being able to see the world through a toddler’s eyes. Experiencing things for the first time with a little human is amazing.

What’s your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Definitely the stuffing (queue the stuffing vs. dressing debate). The kind with sausage and all the unmentionable turkey bits.

Any fun Thanksgiving traditions you’re looking forward to?
The day after Thanksgiving, we all go to a Christmas tree farm to cut down our trees. It’s usually cold and often raining, but it’s a nice way to get into the Christmas spirit!

What are you thankful for this year?
I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends, health, home, happiness, and career.

Stuffing from inside the turkey. Is there any other way?

Giving in and starting to watch holiday movies and listen to Christmas music.

 

Melanie Hilliard, Account Director & Content Lead

I’m thankful for my amazing co-workers. I know they have my back and support me, even as they challenge me to do better. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people from whom I continually learn.

What’s your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
My favorite Thanksgiving dish is anything with brussels sprouts, although the “s” at the end of “brussels” drives me bonkers.

Any fun Thanksgiving traditions you’re looking forward to?
My husband writes hilarious Turkey Notes customized for everyone who joins us for a Thanksgiving meal. Never heard of Turkey Notes? I hadn’t either until I met him. Here’s the fun history of the Turkey Note. And really, who doesn’t love a punny rhyme?!

I am thankful for our family staying healthy during this lingering pandemic and for the resurgence of a quality Michigan football team!

My favorite Thanksgiving dish is pumpkin pie encased in whipped cream.

My most “fun” Thanksgiving tradition is watching the Lions (hopefully) win!
