The Thanksgiving Special: People, Parade, and Ph-ood


Listen Later

Thanksgiving isn’t just a day—it’s a temporal landmark, a pause in the year that reminds us to celebrate, reflect, and connect with the people around us. In this episode of The GoodKind Podcast, Clayton, Amy, and Chris dive into the rhythms, rituals, and traditions that make Thanksgiving such a uniquely meaningful holiday.

From turkey trots to parades to the comfort of food and family, the hosts explore why this one day can feel so different from any other. Along the way, they discuss how holidays serve as anchors for our faith and habits, the science behind creating memorable experiences, and how intentionality can turn ordinary moments into extraordinary memories.

Whether you’re preparing for Thanksgiving, thinking about how to make the holidays more meaningful, or looking for ways to cultivate lasting family traditions, this conversation will inspire you to pause, reflect, and create intentional joy.

Takeaways:

  • Holidays anchor our perception of time and help us engage with faith and family intentionally.

    • Unique traditions—whether a neighborhood Turkey Trot or a specific holiday meal—make days feel special.
    • Timing, environment, people, and events all contribute to creating meaningful holiday experiences.
