My favorite part was the prayer moment. I’m so happy to hear someone say thank you to our lord and savior, Jesus. This thanksgiving, it was just my husband and 4 kids, and a friend of our son, who has never eaten a traditional thanksgiving meal from the Turkey, green bean casserole, corn pudding, pumpkin pie, apple pie, gravy, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, dinner rolls, apple cider. All mostly from scratch. I prayed for the thanksgiving. We had such a wonderful time. The friend said everything was so good. When he left I gave him the extra pumpkin pie I had made and some of the apple pie. It was a special evening for us all. The Lord was good with us this past year. My cancer is in remission and I was able to cook up this feast, my love language.
Thank you for sharing your thanksgiving with us.
So glad you had a wonderful day! Glad you enjoyed our video too 😀 God is good!
my grandparents were lucky to get 15 acres of land when they first moved to ohio where we all live now and they used to grow all kinds of local fruits and vegetables like grapes, squash, strawberries, sunflowers, watermelon, etc. seeing you walk through your garden always makes me think of when i used to go with them and help them with their gardens. 🥰💗
Love those memories 😀
Hi 😊 there stan neat 😀👍👍
Thank you for including us. 😁 Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
Same to u Kim .j Becker happy 😀 holidays 🤶🎄🎄👼❤️
U bet yea Kim 😀😀😀👍❤️
I can’t tell you what I enjoyed more… the cooking and lead up to dinner. Granny’s linens and stories. The fixing of plates or the discussions in the background and chatter. Your meal looked delicious!
I think my favorite part was a combination of it all- fixing the plate while listening to background talk and chatter and the warm feeling of the prayer. You can’t deplete that.
I am alone- as you know- and decided I’d get a take out plate - couldn’t eat it. Wont do that again. I mean- it’s fine I’m over it eating alone. However, I’d prefer to have a ham sandwich than try to replace what i remember.
Y’all are very blessed, indeed! Thank you for sharing your day.
Thank you Sandra! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
I love the way you and your family put the day together with care and love . Everything looked so delicious thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving with us . ❤️✝️❤️
Thank you Brenda 😀
I have the best thanksgiving story ever. In 1976 when I was stationed at fort Bragg North Carolina my wife 2 children and 3 other guys from my unit decided to have thanksgiving at our house. I got paid 275 dollars a month and got paid every 30 days. The turkey came out of the oven looking so good. She was really proud of it until I stared carving it. I cut into it and water just poured out of I said did you thaw it out before you cooked it. As she started to cry she said I didn’t know I was supposed to. That girl couldn’t cook a hotdog and now she’s a dietitian for the veterans administration. That was wife number 1. I stayed in the army for 10 years
I miss those large family gatherings we used to have at my Grandma's. But sadly she and so many Aunts and Uncles have passed on. It was great to watch your Thanksgiving time together.
What a wonderful meal!! Every Thanksgiving I imagine what other families are eating and their table settings, etc. I love seeing photos of Thanksgivings past - of the food being prepped, everyone gathered around the table, or visiting outdoors or in the living room. I love to notice every little detail. From just a few years ago, to a couple of centuries ago, I can imagine the yummy smells, the laughter and conversation, along with the food sitting out to be enjoyed. Families have gathered together since Adam and Eve - nothing has changed except technology. There has always been children running around, men talking hunting, women talking homemaking. I am very thankful for all of it! I am glad you had a great Thanksgiving, Tipper!!
Donna. : )
I love thinking about all that too Donna 😀 Glad you enjoyed this one!!
Is comforting to know that organized chaos is part of others’ celebration, just like ours! It’s a fun, happy time and we cherish each minute! Happy belated Thanksgiving!
It is at ours LOL! Thank you 😀
Wonderful video, Tipper! All the food looked delicious, and your home and decorations looked beautiful! I am so glad you were able to make the apple cake for your mama. I know she really appreciated that! ❤
So glad you enjoyed it-thank you 😀
Watching yall makes me miss my husband more😢 I lost him 2mos ago to an illness. We were married 21yrs but it wasn't enough. I pray you have a long healthy life ❤
I'm so very sorry you lost him.
I enjoyed the twins’ music. They’re so talented. Glad you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! So did I and my family! 🙂
Thank you! So glad you had a good one too 😀
Hi 😊 there Linda Sanderson same here 😀👍👍❤️
I love the drawing of Pap with his guitar and flag, thanks for all that you do Tipper ♥️✝️🇺🇸
Thank you! One of my blog readers made the drawing of Pap 😀 Allison Britt 😀
I'm finding younger people have NO CLUE what is involved in planning and executing a full traditional Thanksgiving dinner. All the planning!!! It's HARD!!! But it's the best feeling in the world when you know you pulled it off!!!
My cheeks almost closed my eyes from underneath; I was grinning fit to burst the whole time I watched this. I worked for the holiday but now after watching this feel like I spent it with family
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed visiting with us 😀
Honestly, thank you!
That was wonderful. So much like ours. I sure am thankful for my wonderful family, for being blessed to live in Appalachia, but most of all for Jesus Christ who died so that I could have eternal life. God Bless You ❤
That prayer really moved me " help us Lord what we need to be for You" ahhh I'm crying that's so beautiful
I was so happy to see the apple stack cake. The last year grandma was alive she asked me to make the cake using the dried apples she and grandpa had done in the summer. She died the following spring. She left a note to me asking me to take all the dried apples in the freezer cause she wanted me to make more cakes.. what a wonderful memory. Thanks for all your programs. I am always watching your family. Mary
Thank you for sharing that sweet memory 😀
Thank you so much for letting us join you in your Thanksgiving celebration, it was a beautiful video. Your warmth and friendliness is so heart warming, it is a joy to watch your videos. Have a wonderful week 💞
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Thank you Tipper and girls. It was a joy to watch your celebration. May the Lord continue to pour his blessings upon you all. Much love to you.
Thank you so much 😀
Every time I tune in im hit with homesick for a place I've never been all my people come from your area my granny is a Rippatoe
I had to Google that one. Awesome.
I'm glad we remind you of your loved ones 😀
I found Rippatoe springs in Kentucky yay
Thank you for inviting us into your home on this special day. I enjoy seeing other traditions and families making memories 🦃
You are so welcome!
Well, Tipper? That was just the most LOVELY Thanksgiving. So much fun to get to make it with you, and hear your thoughts and explanations shared along the way! See all your family, and everyone celebrating and eating and getting along like we're supposed to....
You know? If a person didn't have their own Thanksgiving; if they were a Thanksgiving 'orphan' -- away from, or without folks to share it with -- this would go such a long way toward filling the void. I have felt that feeling before, although I've never really been without -- fortunately. But I feel other's feelings, and this was such a VERY nice share. Thank you, Tipster and fam! Thank you so much!
I love the many ways you celebrate home, family & Appalachia. I celebrated Thanksgiving with my sister and her children and grandchildren. It was once again, the best ever! I'm sure yours was too!!
I'm so glad you had a good one Rita 😀
It is so wonderful you had a whole house full. We used to have house full of people at my grammys and aunts but all have passed but my mama, so just a few of us. Family is such a blessing :)
Thank you Sheryl 😀
I'm from Cherokee County, GA and most of my family lives round Jasper up through Blue Ridge. I've been living in Seoul, South Korea for the past 3 years and I've been terribly homesick as of recent because I haven't been able to enjoy any holidays with my family or any kinda food like I used to. I just found your channel and it honestly brings a tear to my eye hearing and seeing everything. Your accent sounds just like my grandmother who's getting up there in years and I miss her so dearly. We'd always gather up at her house for the Holidays with my cousins and their families and have a big feast together. I honestly don't know when I'll be able to see them again because of how expensive flights are, but I wanna sincerely thank you for posting these wonderful videos. It warms my heart after living in a big city in a foreign country for so long. God bless you and yours, Thanks again
So glad you enjoyed it! Happy to give you a taste of home and to remind you of your grandmother 😀
The only "normal" thing in my life right now is your family's videos. LOL! So happy I can click on and watch normal people doing normal things. Peaceful and Loving. :)
I just love you and your family what sweet humble people you are. It's nice to learn traditions being kept up in your neck of the woods. As a Canadian I really appreciate learning. Happy American Thanksgiving. I really hope one day to partake in an American feast you do it so well😊🇨🇦🇺🇸🦃🦃💜
Thanks so much for the kind words!!
I wish one year we could have you with us so you can enjoy a good Thanksgiving. We're in Northeast Georgia, southern Appalachia like Tipper and her family.

Australian here, I have never heard of a apple stack cake before, now I can’t stop thinking about it! I am going to have to mark it in order to satisfy my culinary curiosity. Thanks for sharing your special family Thanksgiving with us.
Thanks for having us to see all the lovely festivities! That was a FEAST to behold.. Happy Thanksgiving, so much to be thankful for, to include the Pressley family !!! 🥰
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😀
That was wonderful! Thank you so much for taking the time to set all that up and thinking of us during this special family day.
It’s a lot of work and from this country girl in the city - I thank you
Your kitchen reminds me of my parents house . I think I needed this?
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Salting a turkey a day before cooking it is called a dry brine. The salt initially draws the moisture out but then pulls it back in and holds the moisture through roasting. This form of brining actually develops a more moist turkey. Good job!
Turkey tips
- carefully cut out wishbone prior to cooking. Make carving turkey breast easy.
- Spatchcock the turkey. The flattened bird cooks in just two hours or so plus it allows more room in oven while turkey is roasting on bottom slot in oven.
My what a feast. I know you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for inviting us into your home, Tipper. Your loved ones feel like our loved ones. God bless! Love you more and more.
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia I feel so blessed to have discovered you and yours. My wife and I enjoy your content, your life, your loved ones. You demonstrate the life we grew up with in 1950’s & 1960’s West Virginia has not been totally erased from the American culture. Thank you for all you are doing. You are like close cousins we finally met. Luv ya, Cuz!
@@scottclay4253We appreciate you!! 😀
Thank you for sharing your Day. I always appreciate seeing videos of Appalachia.
I often look for them on UA-cam. I grew up in Newfoundland and the Appalachains run right up North into my province. You ways of living are so kin to my own and I feel a kindred spirit whilst listening to you and it makes me feel homesick , although I did just spend over a month there visiting all my people on my side and my husband's side . And even had Thanksgiving there .... I brought back home to British Columbia some of my eldest sister's homemade Zucchini Pickles.... and the kind of bologna I grew up eating and the wonderful Atlantic cod fish which is used to make our favourite dish of Fish n' Brewis ... eaten by our forefathers when they fished the open waters of the Atlantic. How the foods and the music and the people keep warm and rich our lives no matter how far or how long we are away form home. Thank you to the good man who prayed and said all the important things we give thanks for on Thanksgiving. No wonder it all becomes part of us. It sounded like home. God bless you all.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing 😀
Russian tea! Lord, I haven't heard of that in YEARS. My mom always made that around the holidays. She was from southwestern Virginia. You evoked memories that warmed my heart and made me smile. God bless you and your family Tipper.
What more can one asked than being with family on a day of giving thanks to God for all that he has shared with us as his children. All the food looked great the only thing I didn’t see was cranberry sauce with whole cranberries. 😮 God is great and he loves his children blessings upon all
You just put that beautiful meal together with such ease! I love watching you and your family cook. 🦃❤️🇨🇦
Thanks so much 😀
What a very sweet time together. Thank you for inviting me into your precious home.
You are so welcome!
Tipper, You are amazing as always!
I loved all of your Fall Decorations!
Beautiful Tables and the Food all looked scrumptious. Your Russian Tea sounds delicious.
I loved the Bowl for the Rolls!
The Girls just continue to grow into their music - loved hearing them play their instruments - what a nice way to lighten and brighten the day in the midst of all the preparation.
Everyone worked so hard to make a beautiful meal - and yet you all made it look so easy!
It was beautiful to watch all of you working together.
Kudos to ALL of your Family - both in-house and those coming for the day - for the help they gave in helping with the meal.
How Blessed you are to have so many loved ones to share Thanksgiving with - and that they each have a special dish to add to the table - and so special that you have both Mom Cindy and Granny to come and celebrate the day and add their special dishes to the fare!
The only thing I didn't see was Cranberry Sauce!?
Your Girls were so cute at the end -
just like their Mama!
God Bless You All and Thank You so much for sharing your 2022 Appalachian Thanksgiving with us.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!! We forgot the cranberry sauce! Matt is the only one who likes it and he prefers the canned kind-I forgot to open the can 😀 Poor Matt!

Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.thank you for sharing it with us.
Tipper, I can’t believe you didn’t get a little piece of that dressing that looked soooo good. I was saying “dressing, dressing, you forgot the dressing!” 😂…I like dressing, can you tell. 😆 Hearing everybody chatting and seeing some that gathered reminded me of how my family would all get together at my mom’s house on Thanksgiving. Mom made the Turkey and dressing, sweet potatoes and each family brought the side dish they liked. Her countertops and kitchen table were loaded with food. I sure do miss that time in life and it was also my mom’s birthday so it was extra special time to celebrate. She loved when all us kids and our families came together to just be a family. Cherish every moment with Granny and all your family. Thank you for sharing your family time with us this Thanksgiving. You are blessed!
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
It all looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing!
