My grandson was born in Germany while his father was in the Army. I would love to win this and give it to him as a memory.
The only Thanksgiving tradition that I have is to get together with family.Food is secondary to just being together.
Getting together with family is our tradition.
One of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions is the family watching the parade and eating cinnamon rolls and sausage rolls. We used to also pour over the Black Friday ads, but that has faded away as more shopping is online.
And we must have the cranberry jelly from the can 🤣
A thanksgiving tradition at my house is for just the family to come to my house (Mom’s) for dinner, then watch football 😊
Love these cookies! Hope to be a winner… One thing I love about Thanksgiving is being with family and to just enjoy each other. Another thing is the stuffing! I am a turkey and stuffing kind of person with cranberry sauce!! All topped off with pie – just doesn’t get better than that!
My family’s tradition is to go around the table and tell everyone what you are most thankful for.
Thanksgiving at my home this year. Hope to have entire family at some time. Hard to bring in 4 kids and 17 grandkids but it’s always special. Cookies would be appreciated
Our Thanksgiving tradition has changed some over the years. But it has always been getting together with whatever family members were around at the time, with lots of food and drink and kids running everywhere. Happy Thanksgiving everyone 💓
I would love to be entered into the cookie giveaway. I really like the nutcracker tin. Thank you for starting the day with me. You keep me going.
I love cookies and would love to try these. My favorite thanksgiving tradition is to have an exaggerated pie to people ratio and trying all of the different kinds even though we’re all full!
Thanksgiving is spent with family, we take turns with each side of the family alternating years. I always bring the pies pumpkin and mince. I would love to win the cookies to add to the dessert table.
Thank you for the chance to win the cookies! My son would really love them!
Thank you so much for sharing your skills, experience, and story. You are an inspiration.
We watch the Thanksgiving parade in in the morning before football!
We had Sonic one year on Thanksgiving (we had the traditional dinner on Saturday) because we were in the middle of a local move and my husband was working. My kids wanted to make that our new Thanksgiving tradition 😊
I would love the cookies. I have never had them.
Would love to win the mixed cookies. We love thanksgiving and love to get together with family, but honestly usually to full for dessert of which there is many choices. Somehow we still manage to test them all. Happy holidays everyone!
when I was young and we gathered at grandma’s house and of course there was turkey, but Every Time we had family dinner at grandma’s there was also ham. I thought that was different from my other friends. But it became special as an adult and I visited her hometown in Quebec and attended a traditional French Canadian supper. Guess what was served amongst lots of things – Ham! It’s nice to remember grandma and those dinners together.
One of our traditions on Thanksgiving is to take a family picture at the table. After dinner we always draw names for Christmas. We have so much to be thankful for.
A big thanksgiving dinner is my favorite.
Our tradition is to have dinner together about 1 – 3 in the afternoon. I always make a Danish rice dessert, Reisalamond. It’s made with long grain rice cooked in milk. Once cooled add whipped cream and vanilla extract. Served topped with warmed cherry pie filling. Traditionally you add chopped up blanched almonds. And one whole almond. Whoever gets the whole almond gets a marzipan pig for good luck. We’ll play cards or cross stitch.
Lebkuchen is one of my favorite Christmas cookies! My mom would bake lots of cookies and then load up a plate of never ending cookies for December. Such good memories with my Mutti.
We would all gather around the table at my parents house and after prayer and eating our fill, the guys would play cards and watch the football games and the ladies would clean up. We always had a great time getting together. Miss those days.
Our family tradition is to get together with family – laugh, talk and overeat delicious food.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is setting the table with my grandkids – we always have a sewn surprise for namecards, napkins etc!
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is visiting with my extended family and enjoying a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
Since our Parents and two brothers are no longer with us, only my sister and i remain. We no longer feel bound by traditions of particular foods any longer so we keep the tradition of sharing a meal, gathering together with our husbands, deciding on a theam for the occasion and each bringing dishes to share. This year we were going to bring 3 or 4 appetizers each. BUT my Sisters Son’s mother in law said NO, you all (including your sister (ME and my husband) will all come to my house and join us!I said great! they are like family to me anyway, I love the Idea. I’m making the pies,
One Thanksgiving tradition at our house is baking pies. Always a pumpkin pie and an apple pie. When I was growing up, we always had a pumpkin pie and a mincemeat pie.
I watch your youtube videos on a regular basis. I have never tried the Lecherlee cookies. They look amazing. It would be wonderful to win these delicious looking cookies.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is playing card games after dinner and enjoying everyone’s company. We also drawing names for Christmas which is also fun.
Thanks.
Love to share cookies. Thank you for the lovely videos. Mona
Our thanksgiving traditions are pretty much food, football and by Sunday we are pulling out the Christmas decorations!
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is enjoying the meal with family and saying what we are thankful for. Then after dinner we play a family kickball game. Great way to move around to justify dessert later on. Happy Thanksgiving
Our favorite Thanksgiving tradition besides overeating is to do a fun small gift exchange to a right-left game. We read a story that has the words right or left often. We pass the gifts according to the words and end up with something fun. Sometimes we each bring a gift card or we do white elephant type gifts. Always a blast.
All the tins are beautiful! I can’t pick one I want them all lol. But a chocolate cookie sounds so yummy! 😋
Our Thanksgiving is about famiky and of course overeating ! We try to scale it down but never quite manage.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is having all of my family over for dinner. I love the fellowship of those I love.
The tradition we try to keep is not so important that we gather on Thanksgiving Day but sometime over the Four day weekend. As family has gotten bigger with commitments elsewhere either for work or family we understand the importance of getting together on a different day and being thankful for our family.
Our tradition is to go around the table and say one thing we are grateful for. I would love to receive a tin of cookies.
a tradition in our family is watching the Macy’s day parade and waiting for Santa
Making spinach casserole, stuffing, pumpkin pie and giving thanks, everyone saying what they are thankful for
When I was young, one of my great-aunts would go to a local holiday shop that opens Thanksgiving morning and closes Christmas Eve. I started by going with her early Thanksgiving morning, and have continued the tradition. Love talking and catching up with the ladies who run the shop. It allows me to honor and remember my family/history.
Gathering together with the family and everyone brings a dish or two or three to share and having mimosas. I would also like to enter the cookie give away from here. Thank you, Pat!
I would love to try those traditional German cookies. They look so unique.
Those cookies are beautifully presented. A Thanksgiving tradition is prayers before our meal. We have several family of various faiths so we all take turns giving thanks in each faith represented.
Our tradition is to have a gathering around the 10th to celebrate my father’s birthday (96!!) and Thanksgiving – then people are free to gather with their “other sides” with no guilt.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is picking names for our Christmas gift exchange.
i would like to be entered in cookie giveaway.
