COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING DINNER | DAY 10 OF 26

🥧 Classic Pumpkin Pie

There’s something about a pumpkin pie that just feels like Thanksgiving. The scent of cinnamon and nutmeg drifting through the house, the golden top cracking ever so slightly, the dollop of whipped cream melting into the first warm slice — it’s not just dessert, it’s tradition baked into every bite.

Fun Fact: The very first “pumpkin pie” wasn’t a pie at all! Early colonists filled hollowed-out pumpkins with milk, honey, and spices, then roasted them over hot ashes. The modern version with a crust didn’t show up until the 1800s — talk about a glow-up!

Tradition Spotlight: For many families, pumpkin pie marks the end of Thanksgiving dinner and the start of storytime — those cozy hours of laughter, games, and “remember when” moments around the table.

📖 “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.” — Psalm 100:4

💭 “Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more.” — Melody Beattie

Now I’m curious —
🎃 Are you team homemade crust or store-bought convenience?
🍽️ And do you serve it warm with whipped cream or cold with ice cream?
