If your Thanksgiving table had a theme song, what would it be and why?

If your Thanksgiving table had a theme song, what would it be — and why?

 

Would it be “We Are Family” blasting over the mashed potatoes?
“Stayin’ Alive” after the third helping of pie?
Or maybe “Let It Go” if the turkey didn’t quite go as planned?

Food Glorious Food! when your plate is overflowing and mouth is watering!

Let it Go, because some people just can't!!!

Maybe, did you mean,

Let It Be — by the Beatles ?

 

Although whether it’s let it be or let it go, the end result is always the same!  Lol

Another one of my favorites:  "Over the River and Through the Woods".

Call me "old fashioned", but my choice would be that old traditional hymn, "We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing"!

I liked your picks.  Something about the chaos of the day and the commingling of family members that drives that Crazy Train.  I agree!  I’m always glad when it ends with both a sense of relief and amusement with love mixed in.  Those were great songs to capture the moments of the entire day and all that goes with them for sure!

Great topic! 

A song we dance to around Thanksgiving in Zumba class is, Carrie Underwood’s fun song,

“Stretchy Pants”.

 

Love the video on YouTube below.
