Most of us are feeling the absence of not being able to see our loved ones in person. We are also wrestling with the problematic nature of Thanksgiving itself. Nevertheless, we are searching for a chance to feel normal again, just like you: preferably with the help of a gigantic slice of pie, heaps of side dishes, or takeout and Netflix. And while we can’t solve the big problems this year, we’re here to help you navigate this season like none other with an adventurous guide that will let you customize this day with style and ease.
As Thanksgiving approaches, the concept of "the holiday season" is very different this year.
