Summary:
The family’s thanksgiving dinner implodes in spectacular fashion: the turkey is a disaster, the mashed potatoes taste like ocean water, Grandma breaks into Christmas carols, and the Teen live-streams everything—from the side of the stage to the kitchen—like an exclusive movie. In the middle of the skit, the argument turns to what gratitude really is. The Guest Pastor offers the bright side, pointing to God’s love, God’s presence, and the kind of joy that survives burnt pie. It ends with forgiveness, real laughter, and a heartfelt prayer.

Why your audience will love it:
Big laughs, relatable family tension, and a finale that naturally leads into worship or communion.
