“My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is a little silly and it technically doesn’t count as a Thanksgiving tradition, but I have a favorite relative who always comes over every Thanksgiving. She brings along her kids, but specifically this relative is her dog. We love, love, love, love her dog. He sadly passed away recently so it doesn’t count as a tradition anymore, but he was my favorite part of Thanksgiving.”
