Christina Coffman

“My favorite tradition is before any family gathering, Thanksgiving included, my uncle puts out a small plate of food as an offering to all of our loved ones who have passed,” Coffman said. “Always taking the time to recognize and remember those we’ve lost is a big deal in my family.”

“I live in Wayne and my family lives in Santee, so I do travel but not anything too crazy,” Coffman said.

“My favorite food to eat at Thanksgiving is definitely green bean casserole, the crispy onions on the top are my favorite part,” Coffman said. “My least favorite Thanksgiving food is cranberry sauce, but I’ve never had it homemade so there’s still hope!”
