Thanksgiving has been a hallmark of bringing friends and family together. One of the most anticipated holidays of the year, Thanksgiving continues to warm the hearts of many people — children and adults alike. Though, preparing celebration is not always the easiest thing to do. So, I have compiled a list of things you can do to get into the Thanksgiving spirit!

1. Take land that isn't yours

The pilgrims did it, so why shouldn't you? It's one of the oldest and most established traditions anyone can do! You don't own this plot of land, so who's stopping you from taking it? The Native Americans? Wait...they're resisting?

2. Go to war...

...against those pesky Native Americans who think they have a right to the land they already inhabit. What right do they have to own this land? That they were here first? Bullshit! Show them who's boss and declare a horrific yet successful war bent on thievery, genocide, and most of all: companionship!

3. Slaughter helpless turkeys

You fought the Native Americans, you stole their land, and you came out victorious--so, what now? You feast! On what, you ask? Why, a turkey! Why a turkey? They're small, aggressive, and they don't even recycle like a normal human being! So, what are they good for? That's right--nothing! That means you can slaughter them all you want in preparation for your Thanksgiving feast!

4. Perish from dysentery...

...while waiting for Lord De La Warr to bring supplies to your miserable excuse for a colony. How selfish can you be? He spent hours upon days preparing the food and supplies for you and your diseased population, and he spent even longer sailing across the ocean to your plague-ridden colony, and you don't even have the common courtesy to stay alive until his arrival? Shame on you!

5. Include the whole family!

How could you pillage innocent Native American villages, wage war against them, slaughter animals, and die from bloody diarrhea by yourself? It's like sports — it's more fun when you're not doing it alone. Don't forget to bring granny along!
