Stuffing for our inbox

'Tis the season of anticipation and preparation, and Catholics are gearing up for two big events this week. First, we gratefully gather around the table with family and friends for a Thanksgiving feast on Thursday, then we come to the table of the Lord on Sunday for the unveiling of the new Mass translations. And we want to hear from you about both celebrations.

Send us your weird, wonderful, or wacky Thanksgiving traditions and recipes--from your Aunt Margie's Cheese Whiz Wheel to Grandpa's Turnip and Horseradish Cranberry Delight (it's been in the family for years!)--and we'll compile them to share with USCatholic.org readers on Thanksgiving Day. Email your submission (but try not to stuff it with more than 200 words) to [email protected] by 2 p.m. Wednesday.

We're also looking for some reports from the pews on how well the new Mass is accepted in your parish. If you've got a story to tell about things going exceptionally well, horribly wrong, or somewhere in between, send 400 words or less to [email protected]. We'll be posting the reports on our blog and adding them to our special section on the new Mass
