Why Thanksgiving Is My Favorite Holiday: I Love Getting F’d: Family Food and Football

Thanksgiving has always held a special place in my heart. Maybe it is the warmth of gathering with loved ones or the simple joy of slowing down before the busy holiday season. Or maybe it is because Thanksgiving is the one day a year I proudly admit that I love getting “F’d”. Yes you read that right. Family Food and Football. The big three. The perfect trifecta. And the reason this day tops every holiday on the calendar.

Let us start with family. In real estate I spend a lot of time helping people in Richmond VA find homes that can bring their families together. So it makes sense that a holiday built around connection speaks to me. Whether your home is filled with kids dogs grandparents or that one uncle who always brings the wrong dish Thanksgiving reminds us that the people inside the home matter just as much as the home itself. When I think about how many families I have helped settle into new spaces through brettbondarealestate.com it makes this holiday even more meaningful.

Now let us talk food. Richmond VA has no shortage of incredible culinary talent but nothing hits quite like a home cooked Thanksgiving spread. Turkey mashed potatoes green beans mac and cheese the list goes on. In real estate we talk a lot about kitchens. Open concept updated appliances island seating. But on Thanksgiving the kitchen becomes the true heart of the home. A place where stories are shared recipes are passed down and everyone tries to sneak a bite before dinner.

And of course football. Whether you are a diehard fan or just someone who enjoys the background noise football on Thanksgiving is a tradition that feels as classic as pumpkin pie. Much like real estate it brings people together. It gives you something to cheer for or laugh about and it provides the perfect excuse to sit still for a while after your second or third helping.

Thanksgiving is a reminder of why home matters. It is where we celebrate where we connect and where we build memories that last. From my family to yours I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with all the best F’s in life.
