Every year we play a serious game of bingo (no chatting allowed). Uncle Ossie traditionally called out the numbers until he passed away a few years ago.

He was generally a quiet man. But during bingo, when he went “oooh!” you could tell he was pretty close to making bingo!

Andy Hurst, The Record producer

My family always eats shrimp cocktail as a Thanksgiving dinner appetizer. That’s right: SHRIMP COCKTAIL.

Sara Lerner, reporter

Every year my mom makes a Jell-O salad, which we like to call “jelled sallo.” We are still laughing about it after 20 years, even though it's really not that funny.
