Thanksgiving isn’t just about food — it’s about family, gratitude, and traditions that connect generations. Whether it’s Grandma’s secret stuffing recipe, the annual backyard football game, or a family round of storytelling at the table, these traditions deserve to be remembered and passed down.

Here’s how you can record your family traditions this Thanksgiving — and ensure they become part of your family legacy.

1. Capture Recipes and Cooking Stories

Food is at the heart of Thanksgiving. Don’t just write down the ingredients — record family members preparing dishes and sharing the stories behind them.

• Ask: “Who taught you this recipe?” or “Why is this dish special to our family?”
  💡 With Biograf, you can turn these recordings into a digital family recipe book complete with video clips.

2. Record Family Storytelling at the Table

As everyone shares what they’re thankful for, record the responses. These gratitude reflections become time capsules for future generations.
💡 Biograf makes it easy to record short clips, organize them, and save them in your family’s private timeline.

3. Document Traditions in Action

From football games to post-dinner walks, capture short videos of your traditions in action. The casual, unscripted moments are often the most memorable.

4. Interview Grandparents and Elders

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to ask grandparents about their childhood holidays.
Prompts to try:

• “What was Thanksgiving like when you were growing up?”
• “What family traditions do you hope we’ll continue?”
  💡 Biograf offers built-in storytelling prompts to guide these conversations naturally.

5. Include the Kids

Encourage kids to share what they love about Thanksgiving — or to interview grandparents themselves. These clips will be priceless when they’re older.

6. Organize and Share Privately

Avoid scattering videos across phones or social media where they get lost. Instead, store everything in a secure, private archive.
💡 Biograf creates a safe digital family album where traditions are stored, organized, and accessible only to your family.

7. Turn Memories Into Keepsakes

Once recorded, you can transform your Thanksgiving stories into:

• A holiday highlight reel to replay each year.
• A family storybook pairing recipes with memories.
• A digital time capsule for future generations.

Final Thoughts

Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to preserve not just a meal, but a legacy. Recording your family’s traditions ensures that the laughter, gratitude, and love around the table will be remembered — not just this year, but for generations to come.
