Now that it's November, we can focus on Thanksgiving. Even though I love Christmas, and it's one of my favorite holidays, it's Thanksgiving's time to shine. Christmas has all of December to shine. So, here is a 'Harry Potter' Guide to Thanksgiving.
1. "I am what I am an' I'm not ashamed" - Hagrid

Remember this going into Thanksgiving. Know your worth. Be who you are.
2. "Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect." - Luna Lovegood

Losing love ones is never easy especially during the holidays. Our loves ones that are gone during the holidays, will always be there for us.
3. "I am not worried, Harry... I am with you." -Albus Dumbledore

You will always have that one family member that is there for you no matter one, and you got their back.
4. "Always." Severus Snape

This might be the shortest quote from the franchise, but it is one of the best quotes to be honest.
This is also the correct answer when asked for more food and dessert. Save room for dessert.
5. "It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be." - Albus Dumbledore

And right now, I am a college student that will gladly take the leftovers.
6. "Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have." - Hermione Granger

We all have a family member that we want to just go off on.
7. "Until the very end." -James Potter

I will eat, watch television, sleep, and repeat until the end.
8. "Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve." -Ginny Weasley

Stuff your face, win the football game, hang out with your family, watch/play football, and so on. Just remember, on Thanksgiving, anything is possible if you just believe.
9. "All was well." - Harry Potter

Thanksgiving is when family and friends came come together and have fun. Remember to not talk about topics at the dinner table that will get the whole family heated, or some family members heated.
Have fun this Thanksgiving whether it's with just you, with your family, or with your friends. It's a time to remind yourself of the things that you have in your life that are good.
