8 Questions to Ask at the Table on Thanksgiving
Little Yellow Couch

Are you tired of hearing the same questions, same topics, and same discussions over Thanksgiving? Or tired of the silence and hearing people chow down? Well I have created some things you could bring up in order to have the perfect thanksgiving dinner conversation.


1.) Ask every person how each family member has blessed them this year.

This is a perfect way to start off with encouragement and really see how your family has blessed each other throughout the year.

2.) If you could only eat one food on this table for a year, what would it be?

Whether it's the turkey, potatoes, or the dessert, this question is a fun conversation starter and it is also a great way to thank the cook.

3.) If this was your last thanksgiving, what would you want to say to everyone?

This is a little deeper question, but it can really be intimate and a great discussion if you are genuine.

4.) What is the funniest thanksgiving memory you have?

Nothing beats hearing stories in your family and just laughing and reminiscing about all the good times. This a great question which can probably last a while.

5.) What famous person would be the most fun to have at this meal?

This is kind of one of those fun "what if" questions. You'd be surprised what your family members might say.

6.) If you had one hundred dollars, and it had to be spent on someone at this table, who and what would it be?

Another fun "what if" question that can be funny, encouraging or strange. You decide!

7.) Who do you miss the most today who can’t be here?

Whether you had a family member pass or just someone couldn't make it, it is important to appreciate those who are not there.

8.) What are three things you are thankful for this year and why are you thankful for them?

The typical thanksgiving question, but it is extremely important to discuss everything that you are thankful for. It really puts everything into perspective.


These are just some ideas to get the conversations started to have a intimate thanksgiving dinner. Happy thanksgiving!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
