When a friend of mine told me she hated Thanksgiving, I almost told her we couldn't be friends.
I know, I know, not everyone adores cooking up a storm (and probably cleaning like it's an extreme sport). I get it. With the holiday comes a stew of emotions, spiritual baggage, and literal baggage with visitors. But in the spirit of trying to change my friend's mind (and maybe yours too), I'm sharing all my Thanksgiving favorite stories and treats here.
Whether you are Team Thanksgiving or Team Not So Much, here are a few sweet stories to encourage your heart.
