8 Questions to Ask at the Table on Thanksgiving
Little Yellow Couch

Are you tired of hearing the same questions, same topics, and same discussions over Thanksgiving? Or tired of the silence and hearing people chow down? Well I have created some things you could bring up in order to have the perfect thanksgiving dinner conversation.


1.) Ask every person how each family member has blessed them this year.

This is a perfect way to start off with encouragement and really see how your family has blessed each other throughout the year.

2.) If you could only eat one food on this table for a year, what would it be?

Whether it's the turkey, potatoes, or the dessert, this question is a fun conversation starter and it is also a great way to thank the cook.

3.) If this was your last thanksgiving, what would you want to say to everyone?

This is a little deeper question, but it can really be intimate and a great discussion if you are genuine.

4.) What is the funniest thanksgiving memory you have?

Nothing beats hearing stories in your family and just laughing and reminiscing about all the good times. This a great question which can probably last a while.

5.) What famous person would be the most fun to have at this meal?

This is kind of one of those fun "what if" questions. You'd be surprised what your family members might say.

6.) If you had one hundred dollars, and it had to be spent on someone at this table, who and what would it be?

Another fun "what if" question that can be funny, encouraging or strange. You decide!

7.) Who do you miss the most today who can’t be here?

Whether you had a family member pass or just someone couldn't make it, it is important to appreciate those who are not there.

8.) What are three things you are thankful for this year and why are you thankful for them?

The typical thanksgiving question, but it is extremely important to discuss everything that you are thankful for. It really puts everything into perspective.


These are just some ideas to get the conversations started to have a intimate thanksgiving dinner. Happy thanksgiving!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
