As they say, what happens at Thanksgiving stays at Thanksgiving. Seriously, you truly never know what’s going to happen when your family members from across the country get together. There will be intense political debates, there will be unwanted criticism about your new tattoo, there will be awkward forced conversations with cousins you talk to for two minutes once a year, and there will be fresh drama that tears the family apart for another six months until we pretend everything’s find again at the next Thanksgiving.
And as if 2020 needed anymore surprises, you can help cut through the drama and present your family with a stuffed turkey cake that should divert their attention for a bit.
