Thanksgiving is almost here! To honor the holiday where stuffing your face is completely natural and universally accepted, I've traced the phases of Thanksgiving "feels" as told by Gossip Girl.
1. November 1st
The first of many nights spent dreaming about the food at Thanksgiving dinner and never wanting the dream to end.
2. The one week countdown
The day is almost here and you're double checking the menu to make sure your favorite dishes made the cut.
3. The morning of Thanksgiving
You're feeling great and ready to gain some weight.
4. Seeing all your relatives
You missed your family and they missed you; everyone is excited and lots of hugs are exchanged.
5. The questions begin
When you receive the first question about your future/ relationship status/ college.
6. The talkative relative sits next to you
That one relative that makes a point to talk to every family member for at least a half hour.
7. The 30 min dinner call
The anticipation is at an all time high as there is only 30 minutes until dinner is ready.
8. Dinner is ready
A.k.a you begin stuffing your face with food.
9. The food baby emerges
You prepared for this very moment and know that it is time to loosen your pants or loose a piece of clothing.
10. You regret how much food you ate
Your stomach hurts and you're seriously regretting that last plate of food.
11. Dessert comes
All regrets are gone and you're ready for more food #noregrats.
12. The food coma
You can no longer move and must live in your bed.
13. Family drama
Someone had a little too much pie and decided to talk about politics.
14. Goodbyes
It's time to leave. Thanksgiving is over and you're crying because you've missed your family and homemade meals.
