Big Talk Newsletter: Questions to Skip Thanksgiving Small Talk

Last week, Big Talk and GoFundMe won a Shorty Award for Emergency Relief Storytelling in the LA Fires, Hurricane Helene, and the Texas Floods.

Hi Friends!

If you want to pass around more than food at the Thanksgiving table tomorrow, here are…

10 Big Talk Questions to ask at Thanksgiving that go Beyond “What are You Thankful For?”

  1. What’s something unexpected that you are grateful for?

  2. If you could thank someone who isn’t here today, who would it be and why?

  3. Who or what has had the most influence on your life this year?

  4. What is a small act of kindness you witnessed this year that has stuck with you?

  5. What’s something silly or sweet you love about someone who is here today?

  6. What is a new tradition or habit you want to bring to the holidays this year?

  7. What are the small moments from this year that brought you unexpected joy?

  8. Who do you wish you could invite to the Thanksgiving table and why?

  9. What documentaries, books, stories, or other media have moved or inspired you lately?

  10. What life lessons have you learned lately?

For more questions and activities, check out the Big Talk Questions App, Card Game, and pre-order the Big Talk Book! Hint - They all make great holiday gifts. ;)
