Ladies and gentleman, here it is. The tweet to end all holiday season tweets. It's time to show the family what you've been preparing for all year...

Your Thanksgiving outfit.

Now, everyone needs to be aware that there are levels to this stuff. There are rules that must be followed if you want your family to think you're as cool and trendy as the outfit you have on says you are. Everybody wants to be the "cool" cousin (like the one that your other cousins brag to their friends about and show your Instagram feed off to). Yeah, that cousin.

To begin your journey to the perfect outfit to wear to the living room on Thanksgiving day, you need to consider what's usually expected from you. Whatever that is...don't do it. This is your time to be original. Start online, look for sales (we might look cool for one day, but we're still poor), and avoid the most popular items (you can't be caught wearing the same sweater as anyone else at dinner...obviously).

Once you've added some gems to your cart, you can move on to figuring out how you're going to pay for it. I advise asking your parents for their credit card ("Mom, it's for groceries...do you want me to starve?"). That will be sure to do the trick. If that doesn't work, Venmo request every human being you know for $1, and if that doesn't work...sorry, sometimes we have to splurge. It's important that you order a complete outfit. Don't throw five sweaters your cart to try on...we need cute jeans, booties, maybe even a new watch, too.

Keep it classy, people.

Once your items arrive, it's time to step in front of your full-length mirror in different combinations to choose the perfect outfit to give thanks in. Imagine yourself entering a house filled with family members that you must impress and then pick the outfit that fits that scenario.

Once it's chosen, the hard part is over. All that's left now is showing up and eating so much pumpkin pie that you enter into a food coma. Afterward, it will be time to go back to being the lazy, sweatpants-wearing person you are (literally the next day). No one really pays attention after the Instagram post goes up anyway. I wish you the best of luck, and may your inner (hidden) fashionista be with you.
