Giving Thanks with Thoughts of Gratitude

Some of the best memories are made around the Thanksgiving table with friends and family together. So, we asked our team at Carabiner to share some of their favorite Thanksgiving foods and traditions—as well as what they’re most thankful for.

We also want to say as a team that we’re especially thankful for YOU. We wish our clients, peers, and all those who make Carabiner Communications what it is the happiest of Thanksgivings this year.

What Are Your Favorite Thanksgiving Dishes?

“My mother’s ‘dressing’ with fresh sourdough bread and celery.” – Kira Perdue

“Has to be… the pies. All of them. And the whipped cream.” – Andy Hagedon

“Squash casserole and Mama Lell’s dressing.” – Susan Weber

What Is Your Favorite Thanksgiving Tradition?

“We give out three kernels of corn and each say three things we are grateful for that year.” – Paulette Brown

“Every weekend during the month of November we try to do a volunteer activity in honor of gratitude month.” – Kathy Berardi

“I embrace the ‘feast’ part of Thanksgiving every year, whether I’m cooking for two or 12. The day starts with a full range of appetizers and a specialty cocktail, followed by a full-course meal: salads, soups, mains and desserts. No one goes hungry here.” – Jan Sisko

“We use crackers, an English party favor.” – Peter Baron

What Are You Grateful For?

“Being able to visit family and friends in person for the holidays again this year.” – Julie Marks

“I’m thankful for my health and my husband’s health. I took quite a spill on the stairs earlier this year but was able to recuperate with months of PT and no surgery. I’ll never look at stairs the same way again, though!” – Leslie Tentler

“I’m grateful for my health, my husband’s patience, and my dogs’ spirited barks that welcome me home, no matter how long I’ve been away from them.” – Suzanne Moccia
