Happy Thanksgiving, darlings! Turkey Day is one of our
favorite holidays simply because it brings together so many things we
love—excellent food, amazing friends and, for better or worse, the entire
family.
We’re not gonna lie, the
sentiment behind the day touches us deep. And while we consider what we’re most
grateful for this year, here’s our list of the very best things this day—the
start of the holiday season!—has to offer. Add yours in the comments!
The preparation. Cooking in the kitchen with mom and grandma
and all your aunts is way fun, you’ve gotta admit it.
Waking up early is actually fun—‘cause it comes with a
parade and an ooey gooey breakfast (if you’re lucky!)
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. We’re suckers for big
character balloons, what can we say.
Crafting turkeys out of construction paper with your young
cousins. Because, hello, it’s one craft project ya don’t have to try hard to
excel at.
Graduating from the kids’ table (yes!).
Mocking Dad’s ridiculously loud commentary directed at the
TV screen when the rivalry game is on. Um, Dad? They can’t hear you.
(Yelling at the screen yourself. Bad call, ref!)
Slipping outside to escape family drama…and noticing how
absolutely gorgeous fall is.
Best. Food. Ever.
No-guilt sampling of all the pies on the dessert table
Fam. Because even though they argue about silly stuff, and
even though they drive you crazy, they’re still the people who love you no
matter what. And what’s not to love about that?
What do you love most
about Thanksgiving? (And we mean aside from green bean casserole, ‘cause when
we asked GL staffers that Q, that was pretty much the unanimous response.
Sigh.)
