Thanksgiving is the GOAT.
1. ALL THE FOOD
GiphyTurkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and corn. Is your mouth watering yet?
2. You get to spend time with your family
GiphyEven if you don't have the best relationship with your family, they're still family! Use this time to spend some intentional time with them.
3. It’s officially the beginning of the holiday season
GiphyYES! I've been waiting for the holiday season. Look forward to Christmas and New Year's!
4. Two words: pumpkin pie
GiphyI know I already mentioned food, but pumpkin pie deserves its own spotlight.
5. You don’t have to worry about buying gifts
GiphyBuying gifts for people is fun but super stressful! It's difficult to gauge what people (actually) want.
6. You can prepare for Black Friday the next day
GiphyBlack Friday is filled with HUGE sales on all commercial goods. Saving money is always the best feeling.
7. It reminds you to stay thankful
GiphyBeing surrounded by the people (and the food) you love reminds you of the home you have in the midst of all the chaos caused by the busyness in your lives.
Other than the ugly fact that the first Thanksgiving was actually the beginning of the end for the Massachusetts Native American culture and peoples, Thanksgiving overall is a good reminder to stay thankful for what you have in your life.
