Thanksgiving Reminder:

I'm still looking for residents willing to share Thanksgiving traditions, recipes, crafts, funny stories and any other tidbits about the holiday you'd like to share.

Have you ever ruined dinner? Dropped the turkey on the floor? Forgot to thaw the bird in time for the big feast? Does your traditional meal include a dish most others would consider unusual?

Give us the good, the bad, the funny! Pictures get extra credit.

Send an email to marge.neal@patch.com to include your story in Patch's Thanksgiving coverage. Include a phone number so I can call for more information.

Reader Shout-Out:

A big thank you to Kings Contrivance resident Lilah Haxton for being the first official responder to my endless pleas for Thanksgiving vignettes.

Her family's tradition is adorable — though I can't give it away just yet — and I dare you to top it!

Question(s) of the Day:

Do you traditionally shop on Black Friday? Has the growth of online shopping opportunities changed your holiday shopping habits?
