After the food is blessed by the grandmother, one by one the entire family shares what they are thankful for that year. This tradition generally takes about twenty minutes so it has adapted to happen once people start eating. There are different variations where they may go around and say why they are thankful for another family member or a moment they were thankful for that year. It is a way to remind everyone of the values and morals this family expects each member to uphold.
