We all love Thanksgiving. Lots of good food, family and football. Here's a list of the many things Thanksgiving encompasses.
A. Apple Pie.
The most notorious dessert of Thanksgiving.
B. Biscuits.
I'm not really a fan of Thanksgiving food, but the biscuits are my FAVORITE.
C. Cornucopia.
If people actually still use those.
D. Drama.
We all know every family has at least a little during the holidays.
E. Entertaining a house full of people.
I love the holiday's but entertaining that many people in your own personal space is a task in itself.
F. Family.
Because what are the holidays without family?
G. Grateful.
This is what Thanksgiving is all about: Being thankful for the people around you, the food in your plate and the love in the room.
H. Hugs from family members you haven't seen in years.
If you're from a large family, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You have so many family members you forget exist until you see them at the next big holiday.
I. Inappropriate remarks from your grandparents.
Every year a grandparent makes a politically incorrect remark they don't even realize is inappropriate. And I cringe every time.
J. Jingles.
Start preparing for Christmas everyone.
K. Kind of helping cook.
But actually kind of not.
L. Laughs.
Quality time with your family during Thanksgiving break always results in some form of laughs, whether it is from actual jokes, or jokes at other family members expenses. There are always laughs.
M. Mom's yelling about the amount of laundry you brought home.
I always bring home half my closet's worth of clothes, and every year I get the same lecture on how she's not my personal maid and blah blah blah. Sorry, mom.
N. Not writing the five papers you were assigned over break until the last possible minute.
First of all, teachers who assign these long papers are straight up evil. Second, why would you ever spend your first days of break writing them? That's what Amtrak rides are for.
O. Obnoxious little cousins running throughout the house.
Don't get me wrong, I love my cousins, but it gets a little old when they jump on you asking to play after eating your weight in food.
P. Parade.
Waking up early and watching the Macy's Day parade is tradition for my family.
Q. Quietly having your own political opinions when your family members try to have a debate...
These debates literally become liberals versus conservatives who all have little to no knowledge about what is actually going on in the world.
R. Refilling your plate about 100 times.
Thanksgiving is the only day that this is acceptable.
S. Stuffing.
Stove Top Stuffing is EVERYTHING.
T. Turkey.
Well, obviously.
U. Uncomfortable conversations with family members about school.
Family Member: How is school going? How are your grades? What do you plan to do after graduation?
Me: Uhmm...
V. Very cutthroat games of Monopoly with the entire family.
My family literally cries over Monopoly because of how intense and brutal we can get.
W. Wine.
You'll need bottles and bottles to get through the family conversations of your nonexistent love life.
X. OK, this one doesn't count.
Cause what even is the letter X?
Y. Yelling a conversation across a packed table.
If you have a family holiday gatherings of 30 you know exactly what I mean.
Z. ZZZZZ.
Aka, food coma.
