When I was growing up (such a long time ago!) we always had turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a jello salad called Sunshine Salad. And pie! Plus the usual olives, pickles, cranberry sauce, etc. The entire meal is my favorite tradition, and my children grew up with the same thing, basically. However, my mother-in-law introduced me to pumpkin chiffon pie years ago, and I have scorned ordinary pumpkin pie ever since. This year we are having apple pie.
