As Thanksgiving 2024 approaches, communities across the United States gear up to celebrate this cherished federal holiday. Thanksgiving Day holds a special place in our academic calendar and holiday schedule, much awaited by many.
Here's how to make Thanksgiving Day 2024 an amalgamation of age-old traditions and future trends:
Tech-Infused Gatherings: Combine tradition with modernity. While relishing classic dishes like apple pie and mashed potatoes on this crucial date, set up virtual connections for friends or family who can't join the Thanksgiving celebration in person. This could especially be helpful for students unable to leave their university during the short Thanksgiving break.
Diverse Menu: Expand the traditional Thanksgiving meal repertoire. Alongside the quintessential turkey dish that marks this national day, introduce global dishes that resonate with the diverse backgrounds of the United States. And, while Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated earlier, it might be fun to incorporate a Canadian dish or two!
Eco-Friendly Celebrations: Give back this Thanksgiving holiday. Use sustainable dinnerware and craft decorations using upcycled materials. On this day, when we remember the first Thanksgiving, consider a dish using locally sourced ingredients to pay homage to those traditions.
Time Capsule: Merge the past, present, and future. Encourage guests to write messages or share recipes that can be opened at Thanksgiving 2034. Imagine the joy of reminiscing a decade later!
