Inquiring Mindsets: “What are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions?”

We asked Choice Oners about some favorite Thanksgiving traditions. The result? Pure Thanksgiving science!

Traditions:
Football + Naps: Apparently, Thanksgiving is just a warm-up for the Super Bowl of sleeping. If you’re not horizontal by 3 PM, you’re doing it wrong.
Macy’s Parade: Casey Reichert enjoys “too much” coffee while watching. Casey, can there really be “too much” coffee?
Uncommon: Parker Barhorst and his family share sardines in mustard sauce right out of the can. Parker, is this a cry for help? Blink twice if the sardines are holding you hostage.

Favorite Foods:
Pie, Pie, and More Pie: Mitch Thobe kept it simple—just “Pie.” Respect.
Grandma’s Stuffing with Raisins: Matt Lefeld, are you sure? Raisins? In stuffing?
Bread and Butter: Dane Sommer is living on the edge.
Sardines Again: Seriously, Parker, we’re worried.

Thankful For (Beyond Family):
America’s Team: Brian Barhorst is thankful for football, even if it’s the Dallas Cowboys.
GPS in Tractors: Justin Puthoff is living in the future while the rest of us are still trying to find the gravy boat.
Choice One Engineering: Chuck Kluener and Max Scherch win the heartwarming award for reminding us we’re all lucky to work together—even if one of us loves sardines.

In summary, Thanksgiving at Choice One is 40% football, 40% food, 10% naps, and 10% wondering why Parker eats sardines. And overall, we’re 100% grateful—because when it comes to gratitude, we’re truly stuffed. Happy Thanksgiving!
