Let’s face it — life’s different now. This can mean many things for many people. Maybe it has to do with the recent election. Maybe it has to do with life with children versus life before children. Maybe it has to do with you when you were single versus you now (or vice versa). Maybe it has to do with life before the Pilgrims came to this “new land”. Maybe it has to do with life as a mother on the plantation versus life as a mother in modern day Massachusetts. Whatever it may be…it’s different. Luckily that means that Thanksgiving can be what you make it. And if you don’t feel like making it…you can buy it and reheat it!
Here are your options if you’re looking to buy all or some of your Thanksgiving meal. These are in random order or perhaps they are listed from closest proximity to my kitchen to beyond my local streets.
