There are a few things we think of when we think of Thanksgiving: family, friends, a few bottles of wine, a cheese platter, a mouthwatering menu, pie… and more pie. Beyond that, well, it’s up to you. Over the years, your family has probably developed some beloved traditions associated with Turkey Day, from the food you serve for Thanksgiving dinner (hello, mom’s famous stuffing) to what you do pre- and post-feast (watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in bed, break out a challenging jigsaw puzzle and gather around the tv to watch the big game.

This year’s festivities, though, are bound to look a little different in light of the ongoing pandemic and social distancing.
