As the holiday season draws near, my family’s text threads light up with lively discussions. Just the other day, my sister-in-law initiated a “Favorite Christmas Movies” poll, and within seconds, my brother-in-law, ever the enthusiast, copy-pasted a comprehensive list he’d meticulously crafted (apparently during church, no less!). Of course, Home Alone proudly held the top spot – because, what else?

While our holiday traditions include spirited debates about festive films, one thing remains constant: the joy of gathering around a table laden with delicious food. And this year, my Thanksgiving menu is getting a significant upgrade with this incredible Homemade Green Bean Casserole.
