Gobble Up Memories: The 6-Word Thanksgiving Memoir Contest Is Here!

Posted on October 8, 2023December 28, 2023 by Richard

Gobble Up Memories: The 6-Word Thanksgiving Memoir Contest Is Here!

Hello, fellow wordsmiths and Thanksgiving enthusiasts! Are you ready to add a dash of excitement to your holiday season? Look no further because we have a thrilling contest lined up just for you: the 6-Word Thanksgiving Memoir Contest. 

Thanksgiving is a time for family, feasts, and unforgettable memories, both heartwarming and hilarious. And what better way to capture those moments than with a succinct 6-word memoir? Whether you’ve had Thanksgiving mishaps that would make a turkey blush or heartwarming gatherings that warm your soul, we want to hear about them.

The Rules Are Simple:

  • Your Thanksgiving memoir must be exactly 6 words.
  • The more Thanksgiving-themed, the better!
  • Post your entry as a comment right here (no emails, please).
  • The submission deadline is November 24, 2023, at midnight, so you have ample time to cook up the perfect 6-word memoir.
  • Enter as many times as your creative spirit desires! The more, the merrier.

Now, let your creativity take flight as you reminisce about your most unforgettable Thanksgiving moments. Perhaps it’s a tale of a legendary turkey disaster, a heartwarming family reunion, or a comical twist that turned the day into an adventure. Whatever it may be, we want you to distill it into just six words that will leave a lasting impression.

Need some inspiration? Here are a few examples to get your creative juices flowing:

  • “Pumpkin pie: love at first bite.”
  • “Turkey gone, pizza saved Thanksgiving day!”
  • “Family chaos, love wrapped in laughter.”

Remember, your Thanksgiving memoirs are a testament to the heart and soul of this beloved holiday. Whether it’s a comical mishap or a heartfelt tradition, we want to celebrate it with you.

But what’s in it for you, besides the joy of sharing your Thanksgiving stories? Well, bragging rights, of course! The winning memoir will be featured prominently on our website, and the victorious author will receive an exclusive virtual Thanksgiving feast with other contest participants, filled with laughter and camaraderie.

So, what are you waiting for? Share your Thanksgiving tales, slice of life stories, and holiday hilarities in just six words. Let’s make this Thanksgiving unforgettable, one word at a time.

Join us in capturing the essence of Thanksgiving with your 6-Word Thanksgiving Memoirs! 

We can’t wait to read your turkey-filled tales of Thanksgiving!
