The holiday season is nearly here and we’re kicking it all off with Thanksgiving next week!
If you’re still making your Thanksgiving plans, it’s not too late to order Carryout Thanksgiving dinners, or consider visiting one of the many restaurants open on Thanksgiving around Indianapolis.
We also have some fun Thanksgiving games to play with friends and loved ones. One Thanksgiving activity we started doing a couple of years ago was “You’ve been Gobbled.” If you are unfamiliar, it’s anonymously expressing gratitude and spreading kindness—with a small gift, baked goods, a drawing, or a letter. There’s no wrong way to Gobble!
Gobble, gobble, and #PlayIndy
