In a lot of ways, Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year. It’s a celebration centered around food, we’re not too deep into cuffing season, and it’s finally cold enough to be sweater weather. But, of course, there are always those little things we all forget about when we get excited for the big day. With the election right not far behind us and everyone’s fair share of weird relatives, Thanksgiving definitely has its quirks…
Like when your family is running late and you just know someone is going to make a snide remark when you walk in
Or when someone immediately asks what your plans for the summer are
Followed by “Why don’t you have a boyfriend?”
When you find yourself stuck in a never ending conversation
And then you hear these beautiful words…
When you and your cool cousin claim your spots at the end of the table so you can gossip about the other side of the family
When you hear the first mention of politics
And then of course, the first heated debate between your liberal aunt and conservative grandfather
The moment of bliss when someone announces that it’s time for dessert
And it’s finally time to wrap things up and go your separate ways after 30 minutes of goodbyes
And you can collapse into your food coma in peace
Well – until we do it all again next year I guess
