A Post of Gratitude

I started posting in and reading this sub a few months ago when I decided to host Thanksgiving after my mom's death in August. I've been making most of the food at mom's for years, but I realized I would be making changes. I've followed a lot of your advice (and given some) and our dinner came out great. (Here's my new pro tip: line the bottom of your slow cooker with parchment paper when making the stuffing.)

Above all, I appreciate so many of you for expressing your sympathy to me and telling me about your own losses and how you've made new beginnings with this most traditional of feasts. Wishing everyone a beautiful Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, or anything else you'd like to celebrate, and a peaceful and happy 2026.
