Americans living abroad often struggle to recreate a traditional Thanksgiving due to limited access to staples like turkey and pumpkin. Many adapt by improvising menus, sourcing substitutes, or celebrating with local ingredients. Explaining Thanksgiving customs to international friends introduces cultural exchange and sometimes reshapes the holiday's personal meaning. Individuals are invited to share how they preserve or reinvent Thanksgiving while overseas, including their current location and what brought them there. Submissions are requested by Nov. 20 at 6 pm ET for possible inclusion on a national radio program.
