On the table

Turkey, pilgrim, harvest, pumpkin, gravy, family, grateful, feast, corn, pie, autumn and dinner. PIE is the tiny troublemaker: three letters that appear halfway through a dozen other words. Leave it for dessert, exactly like the real thing.

The waiting game solved

Thanksgiving has a built-in dead hour: the bird is in the oven, the kitchen is off limits, and someone always asks how long is left. That is precisely the slot this sheet is for. Print a few before the day, scatter pencils, and the kids table sorts itself out. One nice ritual: whoever finds GRATEFUL says one thing they are grateful for.
