My favorite meal is turkey and mashed potatoes. I love Thanksgiving, it’s just my favorite. I can have Thanksgiving all year round.

Cindy Margolis frames Thanksgiving less as a calendar holiday than as a comfort-food ideal: a simple, satisfying meal associated with warmth, tradition, and abundance. By naming turkey and mashed potatoes—iconic, unpretentious staples—she signals a preference for familiar pleasures over novelty or luxury. The wish to have “Thanksgiving all year round” turns a seasonal ritual into a metaphor for everyday gratitude and conviviality, suggesting that what she values is the feeling the holiday produces (togetherness, indulgence without guilt, homely reassurance) rather than the once-a-year occasion itself.
