Happy Thanksgiving, Dad! May your plate be full, your team win, and your post-dinner nap be undisturbed by anything less than a touchdown.

Common questions

How do I make my Thanksgiving wish for Dad truly unique?

To make your wish truly unique, focus on an inside joke, a specific shared memory, or a particular quality that makes your dad special. Reference his hobbies, classic dad jokes, or his role in the family feast (e.g., the official carver, the post-dinner napper, or the TV remote controller).

What's the difference between 'witty' and 'clever' for a Thanksgiving wish?

'Witty' often implies quick, inventive humor and sharp observations, perhaps with wordplay related to Thanksgiving food or traditions. 'Clever' suggests ingenuity and intelligence in phrasing, delivering a subtle, amusing jab about Dad's habits or a smart compliment wrapped in humor. Both aim for a chuckle!

Should I deliver a witty wish in person or in a card?

Both are great! A witty wish delivered in person adds to the immediate festive cheer, allowing you to see his reaction. Writing it in a card provides a lasting memento he can reread and share. If the message is a bit longer or more intricate, a card might be the better choice.
