Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s topic is a list that’s Thanksgiving related. I’m going with my favorite things about Thanksgiving.
My birthday- It doesn’t fall exactly on Thanksgiving every year but it’s usually pretty close.
Family/ friends- I don’t live close to my loved ones anymore but we always make a point to FaceTime and catch up on holidays.
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry relish- My grandmother would make this every year and it’s amazing.
Fresh rolls
Ham- I have a giant family (fifteen or more people at dinner would not be unusual) so we always had turkey too but the ham was my favorite.
Being able to officially start the Christmas season
Apple Pie
So many leftovers
Having a day off before Black Friday madness
What are your favorite things about Thanksgiving?
Mashed potatoes are one of my favourite things about Thanksgiving too! I also love all the pies 🤤
You really just can’t beat mashed potatoes. 😁
All that food sounds so good!

The food is pretty much my favorite thing about every holiday. 😂
Great list! I think we should be thankful for mashed potatoes every day. 😉
I totally agree! 😁
Wow, so many food-related things on this list! My family didn’t have a traditional meal this time but my dad made pork chops with stuffing on them, which were really good. Is it ever weird to have a birthday right around Thanksgiving? (my sister’s birthday is RIGHT after Christmas.)
Your dinner sounds amazing! It’s definitely a little weird but my family was always really good about making sure the holiday didn’t overshadow my birthday so we still had fun.
