The Sequoia Productions’ staff shared some of their Thanksgiving traditions as well as ideas to help make your holiday special!
- Cheryl: Before our own Thanksgiving feast, the kids take the lead as we make a big box of 50 turkey sandwiches with all the trimmings to pass out to the homeless.
- Lauren: Prior to the big day, we invite our guests to send us the things they are most thankful for on leaves, colorful paper or in picture frames. These become our table decorations, and we go around the table taking turns to read them.
Chari: Hire someone to help so you can enjoy time with your family and friends. Also, stock up on tupperware so everyone can leave with leftovers!
- Loma: We add our family’s favorite Creole dishes to the traditional fixings. Jambalaya, stuffer crabs, crawfish pie, and instead of regular stuffing, my famous oyster dressing. This is a great twist on the regular Thanksgiving tradition!
- Caitlin: My Mom makes dinner, but we all chip in to peel, chop, mash, and wash pots. Guests bring Pot Luck items as well, so we have several delectable surprises on the table. After dinner we play 20 questions, with post notes of the celebrity we need to guess stuck to our foreheads. Great photo op!
- Andrea: After dinner, rather than disperse, we love to adjourn to the living room and play a homemade trivia game. The category is usually Christmas!
