Ruin Thanksgiving in 4 Words: What Words Would Throw Your Thanksgiving Into a Tailspin? Holidays

Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude and great food. When I think of Thanksgiving I usually think of family sitting around the table, catching up and talking about what they’re grateful for. 

As a writer I often write about family, gratitude, parenting and giving back. However, this time I thought I’d do something different. Life feels really serious to me a lot of the time. It’s full of responsibilities, obligations and work. We often seem to be arguing and debating about something. So for now, let’s have a little fun. I welcome you to forget about your obligations, let go a little, and “Ruin Thanksgiving in Four Words.”
