Garth Brooks Says He And Trisha Yearwood Will Have A 'Misfit' Thanksgiving
Brooks and Yearwood explained that they wanted to create an inclusive event where everyone feels welcome. "We want to open our home to those who might not have a place to go on Thanksgiving," said Brooks. "It's a time to be together, share a meal, and create memories."
The event will be held on Thanksgiving Day at the couple's Nashville home and is open to anyone who identifies as a "misfit." This includes individuals who are homeless, single, estranged from family, or those who simply don't have a place to go.
Yearwood noted that the menu for Misfit Thanksgiving will be unconventional, reflecting the eclectic nature of the guests. "We'll have all the classic dishes, but also some surprises," she said. "We want everyone to feel like they're a part of something special."
In addition to the meal, Brooks and Yearwood will be providing entertainment and activities throughout the day. They will also be collecting donations for local charities that support underprivileged individuals.
"This is a time for giving and sharing," said Brooks. "We hope that Misfit Thanksgiving can be a small way to make a difference in the lives of others."
Misfit Thanksgiving is part of a growing trend of alternative Thanksgiving celebrations that cater to individuals who don't fit into traditional family gatherings. Other organizations and individuals around the country are hosting similar events to provide a sense of community and support during the holiday season.
Brooks and Yearwood expressed their hope that Misfit Thanksgiving will become an annual tradition, creating a lasting legacy of inclusivity and compassion. "We want to create a space where everyone feels loved and welcome," said Yearwood. "That's the true spirit of Thanksgiving."
