Turkey Day
“It is me with my mom and dad in 1985, taken at a restaurant in St. Paul, MN on Thanksgiving day for their special holiday buffet. I’m the mortified teenager and on the back of the photo, my mom wrote ‘Who is the real turkey?'”

Santa Lucia
“When I was a little girl in 1976, my mom had me dress up for my school’s Christmas heritage parade. She told me about Santa Lucia, how she was a Swedish saint and then she dressed me as her complete with lit candles on my head. I just read about Santa Lucia and learned she isn’t Swedish, she’s Italian. My mom nearly set me on fire for a heritage that is not mine.”

I Ruined Thanksgiving
“Every year for Thanksgiving my brother and I drink several cocktails and deep fry the turkey. This year I decided to brine the turkey in apple cider. Results were the fry oil burnt the sugars in the cider turning the turkey black and my grandmother declaring that I ruined Thanksgiving. Cheers!”

Leotard Chic
“I spent much time in a leotard during the late 1970s/early 89s, evidently much to the chagrin of my grandmother and sister, both giving me the stink eye here. Mum seems not to care. Thanks, mum.
