2020 Is Inspiring A Whole Bunch Of New (And Weird) Thanksgiving Traditions
The coronavirus pandemic is inspiring people to imagine a whole banquet of new Thanksgiving traditions.
That’s what “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon discovered on Monday after he posted a tweet asking people to update old holiday practices with a 2020 spin, using the hashtag #NewThanksgivingTraditions.
It's Hashtags time! Tweet a Thanksgiving tradition updated for 2020 and tag it with #NewThanksgivingTraditions. Could be on the show!

New thanksgiving tradition: just singing some WAP lyrics as if they actually apply to the holiday. Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me (like gravy) 🤷🏼?♀? lol #NewThanksgivingTraditions
