What will you have for Spanksgiving Dinner?

Are you tired of the same old Thanksgiving traditions? Maybe you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving at all but still want to join in the seasonal fun. Enter Spanksgiving Day - a cheeky, light-hearted alternative to the classic American holiday. Whether you’re looking for a humorous spin on gratitude or a completely new tradition, Spanksgiving might be just what you need to spice up November.

For many, Thanksgiving comes with a lot of emotional weight - family tensions, historical complexities, or just the stress of hosting. Spanksgiving Day is Thanksgiving’s irreverent cousin, which sidesteps all of that - a playful, tongue-in-cheek celebration that turns the formality of turkey day on its head. While Thanksgiving focuses on family dinners and solemn gratitude, Spanksgiving is all about laughter, unconventional fun, and (depending on the crowd) a little bit of mischief. 

And that is something that I would like to address this year. In previous years, I've been all about the lewd spanking and, don't get me wrong, that is exactly what I'm here for, but there can also be another side to the celebration that is just about having a bit of silliness. I mean, what is Thanksgiving without Thanksgiving dinner? So why not apply that to Spanksgiving with a themed Spanksgiving Dinner?

The heart of a Spanksgiving dinner lies in its humour and is guaranteed to leave your cheeks sore... from smiling, of course. So Forget football and parade floats. Try these activities instead:

• Cheeky Toasts: Before dinner, go around the table and share your most sarcastic or outrageous “thanks.”, all bum-related, of course. Perhaps something like “I’m thankful my bum still fits in my pants after all that Halloween candy”.
• Themed Games: Host silly contests like “Pin the Tail on the Turkey” or try charades with words related to Thanksgiving and, of course, "spanking" (keep it PG or as spicy as you like!).
• Awards Ceremony: End the evening by handing out silly “Spanksgiving Superlatives.” Who was the sassiest guest? Who told the best joke?

And as for the main event, that being the dinner itself, Spanksgiving should borrow the culinary spirit of Thanksgiving but add its own twist. Think fun, spicy, or pun-inspired options:

• Spicy Mashed Potatoes or Chili Glazed Turkey: Bring the heat with fiery versions of traditional dishes.
• Pun-ny Cocktails: Serve up Cranberry Smashes, Spank-tinis, or Naughty Nog to keep the theme going.
• Desserts with a Twist: Pumpkin pie is great, but why not add a cheeky arse stencil design on top?

Or, you know, you could just forget all that and simply spank the shit out of a loved one's bare backside... with consent, of course!
