2/For those celebrating Thanksgiving - please stay safe and healthy.
It is a time to express gratitude for what we have and the time that we have together.

3/ But #COVID19 has changed Thanksgiving this year...
one of my friends will have Mexican food 
For others, it will be a smaller gathering and probably less food https://www.wsj.com/articles/thanksgiving-in-a-pandemic-means-smaller-birds-fewer-leftovers-11605349801

4/ Whatever your dessert preferences - from pumpkin pie to brandy to pecan pie - don't forget to try the amazing chocolate chip cookies courtesy of @BleeckerCharlie and her amazing recipe

I think that these will go well with @noowaveco coffee?

5/ Or, if none of these are a Thanksgiving option, there is always "Thanksgiving in a can" that @_TomGReid so helpfully pointed out during #nostalgiachat https://twitter.com/_TomGReid/status/1330674008333955080
6/ But while you ponder Thanksgiving food options and smaller gatherings, take the time to "perfect your introduction" per @julia_saxena https://twitter.com/julia_saxena/status/1329802141976899586
7/The perfect intro comes down to 3 key elements:
I help people [verb] their [noun].
Now, make it more specific. Who exactly do you help? Substitute “help” with a stronger verb.

8/But let's not forget "play" - remember Cyndi Lauper & "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"?
9/ Well, kids just want to play.
As @TPorter2 pointed out during #NostalgiaChat, graduating to the adult table is not as great as it seems https://twitter.com/TPorter2/status/1330669429932388357

10/ Because as @reddy2go points out adults hide behind who the world wants them to be as opposed to who they just are
Maybe they should be sent to the kids table... https://twitter.com/reddy2go/status/1330701354621255683

11/ So as you share your perfect intro, learn how to play again, and keep eating to keep up your energy, remember to define yourself.

12/And remember to "call people in" as opposed to "calling people out."
Focus on "conversation, compassion, and context" https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/19/style/loretta-ross-smith-college-cancel-culture.html

13/As @NishaMAnand discusses in her @TEDTalks - calling people in is really about love.
And Thanksgiving is about gratitude and love.
Even as you sometimes get annoyed. https://twitter.com/jennykim/status/1330873817066065920
