“Or our final hour.”
Activities:
Volunteer the Food Drive Table to fill up the horn of plenty (Rory's always the head pilgrim girl!)
Have 4 Thanksgiving dinners
Stuff your turkey (“do you have time to do that AND prep your Thanksgiving food?” 😆)
Also deep-fry and carve it! 🦃
Do a bit of Black Friday shopping: get yourself some GG merch
Buy flowers, cranberry sauce and chocolate turkeys to give to your hosts
How to eat 4 Thanksgiving dinners:
Consider fasting the day before (optional)
Buy Tums (amateur pills, I know... but it's just in case!)
Skip rolls
Fight with one of your hosts so you miss that dinner entirely (also optional 😆)
If possible, spread out the dinners over the weekend (makes much more sense this way!)
Have a great Gilmore Girls Thanksgiving Cutie pie!
Have fun watching the episodes and eating waaaaaaaay too much! 😋
Talk soon,
Ariane
