Theme Thanksgiving – Grease! 2014

My sister Janet organizes our family Thanksgiving here in Los Angeles. Not only is she a fantastic cook but she goes ALL OUT with a fun theme for the day.

If you’re feeling a bit bored with the usual Thanksgiving gathering, think about adding a theme to the day. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Just a few ingredient tweaks, inexpensive table settings and a trip to the thrift store if needed.

Last year we went retro with a GREASE movie theme. I did my best Rizzo impression, the bad girl puffing cigarettes (candy) wearing a Pink Ladies jacket. My husband Peter suited up as Rydell High coach Calhoun. The entire family got in on the fun. We had “bad Sandy”, “good Sandy”, Danny Zuko and his greasers too. Check out the photos below.

Our 2015 theme? Check my instagram, twitter and snapchat (MyLastBite) on Turkey Day for photos.
