"When I had my son, I wanted to start our own holiday traditions together. I remembered the idea of having pie for breakfast and decided to try it. In order for the pie to be ready on Thanksgiving morning, I had to stay up the Wednesday night before to make everything. I thought an apple pie, a pumpkin pie, and fresh whipped cream would be perfect."
"It wasn't easy putting everything away for the next morning without taste-tasting, but it felt so much more special to wait for Thanksgiving. When we woke up the next morning, I put the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on right away. I didn't even feel too bad about letting us eat pie for breakfast, because it was homemade and still full of apples and pumpkin."
Grandmother suggested having pie for breakfast on Thanksgiving but the family never followed through. A parent revived the idea and tried it with a two-year-old son. The parent stayed up Wednesday night to bake an apple pie, a pumpkin pie, and make fresh whipped cream so the pies would be ready on Thanksgiving morning. The SNL Thanksgiving special played while baking, and the next morning the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was on. The son hesitated at first but then loved eating pie for breakfast with milk while the parent had coffee. The homemade pies and shared ritual became a cherished annual tradition centered on togetherness.
