Playlist of the week: Happy Thanksgiving

November 22, 2021

The smells of Thanksgiving foods waft from the windows of nearby houses as various pies, turkey, ham and collections of side dishes cover the tables in Mountaineer homes.

Loved ones travel from near and far to be with each other for this special day. While kitchens fill with warm embraces and the chatter of relatives catching up, living rooms fill with the sounds of football on television or perhaps the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

This Thanksgiving break, take some time to reflect on the friends, family members and other sweet things that make life so great. Relax and enjoy time with good meals, family and friends before finals week begins.

Consider the many blessings of life with these songs by Sam Cooke, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, and Leon Bridges.

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
