Thanksgiving comes around once a year and when it finally arrives, we all experience the same emotions no matter where we happen to be.
Waking up and realizing it is Thanksgiving...
We've been waiting all year for this!
When the whole house smells like Turkey and all things Thanksgiving...
It's beginning to smell a lot like Thanksgiving!
Hearing "no" every time you ask if dinner is ready...
Your stomach is rumbling, your mouth is watering, and your family has the audacity to not have it ready when you are. It is just plain cruel.
Being asked the same questions by all your family members...
Everyone knows the struggle of each family member asking you the same questions over and over. Some, you don't even know the answer to.
Being asked, "you go to *insert any school that is not yours*, right?"
We all have that family member who does not pay attention to our lives but is so sure of themselves. No, I do not go to school there but I do go to the school I've been attending for years now, thank you for keeping up.
Coming in the kitchen as soon as dinner is ready...
I've been waiting all day for this very moment, hand me a plate and fork, I'm ready to do some real damage.
Acting like you care about dinner conversation when all your focus is on the food...
I don't care what you posted on Facebook yesterday or where you're going shopping for Black Friday, I am strictly business right now.
Looking around for the first person to go get seconds...
No one wants to be that guy, once the first person gets up to get seconds it opens a door for all. Thank you in advanced to the brave soul that initiates the first move, you are wonderful and we are extremely thankful for you.
Grabbing seconds and looking at the food as passionately you did the first time...
It's a feeling that never goes away or fades. Thanksgiving dinner is the only thing you can count on nowadays.
When your family members give you a look of disapproval for how fast you scarfed down your meal...
I've been living off of microwave dinner and ramen for the past 3 months, let me enjoy this home cooked meal in peace.
Even after your four-course dinner, there's always room for dessert...
Unless Rachel messed up the trifold again, there will always be space in our completely stuffed stomachs for dessert!
Checking yourself out in the mirror after feasting...
The food baby is the biggest it's ever been but it's all good, it was all worth it in the end.
Finally relaxing after the dinner...
Take a nice long nap or bubble bath, you earned it after all the hard work did not do today.
