Not really an invite, so much as a ticket for sale.

    This is so sweet! I love how this tradition of theirs has continued all these years later.

      Touching story, but a little weird that it’s sort of an AirBNB ad

        I agree, but only to a point. They’ve included people in their Thanksgiving plans for years. This is just the latest gimmick of theirs. They’ve even appeared on a Gameshow. And they’re not really making money off of this either. The price for those rooms is just $16 harkening back to 2016, the year of their accidental encounter.

          You don’t usually appear in an ad without getting a paycheck from the company
