It's that time of year again. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie coming your way, and nobody understands the ups and downs of Thanksgiving better than Leslie Knope and her friends. Happy Thanksgiving from the cast of "Parks and Recreation"!

You wake up to the smell of firewood burning and coffee brewing. IT'S THANKSGIVING!

You walk downstairs to see your family getting ready to prepare the food.

Your mom asks you to help, but you're really not that into it, so you pretend not to hear her and go into the living room.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is on!

You watch it for five minutes and realize that it's boring and that's why you've never sat through the whole thing.

The turkey is in the oven, and the whole house smells like happiness.

You start to get bored because everyone is in the kitchen making dinner, and there are no snacks available to you.

Football is on, which means that you're either super excited or super underwhelmed. But you're still waiting for food, so you're frustrated either way.

If you're of age, you start drinking because there is nothing else to do, and if you're not, you find the remnants of the Halloween candy to tide you over until it's time to eat.

Your mom calls you into the kitchen and asks you to taste the turkey before she is ready to start carving.

You taste it. It's perfect, and you're ready to eat.

You go change your clothes, so you look as nice as your relatives, and descend into the dining room, feeling incredible.

FINALLY, it's time to eat. You gorge yourself on all of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes until you can't eat anymore.

Except pie.

And then, you slowly fall asleep wherever you sit down next.

Happy Thanksgiving!
