This week, we take a nostalgia-soaked detour back to the 80s — because nothing says “holiday spirit” like stumbling across a beloved childhood show suddenly streaming on Prime. One minute you’re scrolling, the next you’re eight years old again, wearing questionable fashion and eating cereal straight from the box.
Then we shift gears into Thanksgiving mode: the excitement, the chaos, and the age-old treasure hunt of locating the family’s fine china — you know, the plates that only come out once a year, wrapped tighter than a government secret and hidden somewhere between hope and hazard.
Expect surprises, mild frustration, and a few “why do we do this every year?” moments… all part of the charm of a holiday feast.
And finally, we land where every good Thanksgiving story should: gratitude. For the people around us, the stories behind us, and the grace that carries us forward — even when we burn the rolls.
Tune in, laugh a little, nod knowingly, and walk away with a heart a touch fuller (and maybe a craving for stuffing).
...A few of the issues I address in this episode -
- The 80's, and a very special show
- Sourcing the good china
- The many frustrations and joy of hosting
- A different kind of attitude
