thanksgiving

There's no doubt that Thanksgiving is completely different this year for most of us. Many folks have been forced to cancel their plans to see family members. This is a time that's testing us all, and certainly making us dig deep. But with this tumultuous rollercoaster comes an eventual state of acceptance, and a recognition that this storm too shall pass. Before it does, it's on us to find ways to still have fun during the holidays from the safe and cozy confines of our respective homes. Plus, if any family members bring up awkward topics during a potential Zoom Thanksgiving Dinner, you can just pause your screen and blame it on bad reception. That's quite the clutch get-out-of-jail-free card right there. 

Twitter users are dreaming up all the imaginative ways to ruin a Thanksgiving. It doesn't take a whole lot to ruin a high pressure holiday that brings all kinds of testy family members together. A surefire way to bring the bad vibes at the dinner table on Thanksgiving would always seem to center on mentioning politics. Now there's a big no-no. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their trashiest Thanksgiving memories. The common theme amongst these especially trashy moments is one of overconsumption. The overconsumption of the sauce! 

Hopefully any holiday hiccups or full-blown disasters you encountered on Turkey Day pale in comparison to these waking nightmares. 

Feel better about your family's cringiest holiday moments through reading about someone else out there failing just a bit harder. 

This fine collection of witty clap backs is enough to take down the most personally invasive shit-starter of family members who wouldn't just simply emotionally eat their way through the holidays. 

Today's Monday and tomorrow's "Friday" for a lot of folks gearing up to travel for Thanksgiving. Queue up the restless, over-caffeinated office space. 

November is actually just the week of Thanksgiving, and then December's at least a couple months. That is how it feels. These are facts. 

These folks have absolutely blistering levels of entitlement. It must be nice to be able to only think about yourself and absolutely no one else. Either way, it didn't help them here.

Probably the most wholesome cookbook you've ever seen. The kids who wrote it are a mystery, but that doesn't mean we can't recreate the recipes to honor these young culinary masterminds. Some recipes seem harder than others. How much flour is 18 minutes of flour?

What on earth happened to this? Can't even call this atrocity a turkey. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May the struggle not be as bad for you as it is for these poor souls. 

This is the kind of Thanksgiving tale that warms the heart. It was just around this time last year when this grandma mistakenly texted a Thanksgiving dinner invitation to the wrong number. Let's just say the complete strangers handled the ensuing situation perfectly. Oh, and before anyone goes getting all upset: Grandma definitely changed her number after the conversation went viral last year!
