After Halloween, time turns into a slingshot aimed at the end of the year, but it is essential to slow down and appreciate the impending holiday season for all its glory. Before the onslaught of Christmas carols and twinkling lights, there is the always filling, and pinnacle fall gathering that is Thanksgiving.

Now that gatherings can once again be done in person, people are thoroughly planning this meal. Friends and family all huddled together around a cornucopia of potatoes, cranberries, stuffing, gravy, green beans and the headlining turkey.
