Carrie Underwood, along with her husband Mike and two boys will be enjoying Thanksgiving together this year, but she admits that over the years they haven't really got any traditions regarding the holiday.

Carrie said, “We don’t have too many set-in-stone Thanksgiving traditions. I find myself a lot of times working on or around Thanksgiving or unable to get home or whatever. We try to be together, but sometimes that just doesn’t work out."

She adds, "I think it’s just about we eat. I eat a lot every year on Thanksgiving. I never skip THAT tradition. I’m kind of lucky. I get two Thanksgivings, because I also get to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with my husband’s family, so if I don’t hit one, I’ll definitely be able to get the other one.”

Underwood posted her cooking skills for tomorrow (11/26) on her Insta stories showing off her cornbread just out of the oven. She wrote, "The prep has begun cornbread for the dressing."
