Most Common Mistakes Made Over Thanksgiving Week
Hey, Kokomo! There’s no doubt that Thanksgiving will look different this year. But to help you make the most of it, we’re bringing you a list of the most common mistakes to avoid this Thanksgiving holiday.
Eating The Last Deviled Egg
Deviled eggs. It’s not a Hoosier Thanksgiving without them. Being the prized jewel of Thanksgiving sides, there’s a large chance that they are gone before dinner even starts. But from personal experience, one of the most common mistakes you can make is eating the last deviled egg. ESPECIALLY if your mom didn’t get one. Don’t be that person.
Not Bringing A Pie from Moore’s
It should be a crime to show up to Thanksgiving without a pie from Kokomo’s most beloved pie shop, Moore’s. Moore’s originally announced their closing at the end of September, adding to the dumpster fire that is 2020. But Bruce and Julie Hanke took a chance and purchased the shop, ultimately saving Thanksgiving and 2020. With over 20 flavors of delicious, homemade pie, you’ll be the most loved person at the table. Make sure to order soon to get on their list, you don’t want to show up empty-handed!
Not Drinking Hot Chocolate and Going to See Lights
During COVID-19, we are always looking for safe and socially distant activities to do with our families, especially around the holidays. We want to encourage you to hop in the car with a couple of family members, get a hot chocolate from Coffee Junkiez, and drive through We Care and Highland Park Christmas Lights! (The lights for both locations mentioned are turned on the evening of Thanksgiving at dusk.)
Not Supporting Local Businesses
If you’re planning on Black Friday shopping this year, one thing you shouldn’t do is forget to shop local. Now, especially in 2020, small businesses need our support. We’re encouraging you to be intentional about supporting the family-owned businesses in our community! Not sure where to start? Check out this blog about local Black Friday deals!
Not Telling your Family and Family How Much You Love Them
On a more serious note, one thing I think a lot of us have realized is that we take our family and friends for granted. This year has been full of isolation for a lot of people, and often we don’t appreciate the relationships we have with people we interact with every day. Especially when that’s taken away from us. Whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving as a small family or taking a year off from the gatherings, we encourage you to give the person you’ve been missing a call and let them know how much they mean to you!
No matter how you’re celebrating Thanksgiving this year, we hope you make the most of it. Did we miss anything on our list? Have a happy and safe holiday, Kokomo!
