Articles on Thanksgiving Including its History, Menu Ideas and Recipes

Thanksgiving is a time when there are many opportunities to write a holiday article whether it be the history of the holiday, menu ideas, recipes, crafts or more.

Planning a great menu is all a part of Thanksgiving when entertaining guests. Here’s a typical menu at our house. 
  • Turkey
  • Stuffing
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Corn
  • Green Bean Caserrole
  • Gravy
  • Caesar Salad
  • Cucumber Salad
  • Rolls
  • Apple pie
  • Chocolate Cream Pie
  • Ice Cream

Besides the turkey, dessert is also a huge part of a great Thanksgiving meal. Here are some recipes to check out:


Having something good to drink only adds to the celebration. Here are some good cocktail recipes.

If kids are involved, a good idea is to have plenty of activities for them to do. When people write craft articles, sometimes they hone in one specific craft and write a how to article about it. Other times, they’ll write several craft ideas and feature links to other online sites which provide more craft ideas and instructions. The following example is from a writer at Squidoo.


As you can see, there are lots of writing opportunities for Thanksgiving. Additional ideas include articles about reasons to be thankful, great family Thanksgiving movies, what to do with the left-overs, centerpiece ideas and local restaurants and their Thanksgiving menus, to name but a few.
