7 Reasons Thanksgiving is the BEST

Mashed potatoes, parades, and football OH MY!! Thanksgiving is a bonafide national holiday and rightfully so. We get time with family and friends to reflect on what we are most thankful for in this world. And we get to EAT in the process. Don’t be a Chandler Bing and embrace this holiday in all it’s glory. Below are my top 7 reasons to love Turkey Day. Gobble gobble!

1. Feast. We get to eat the best food like Cresent rolls, stuffing, chive mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, turkey, pecan pie, cranberry sauce, and apple pie of course! YUM.
2. Time Off. Taking some time off from school or work to really enjoy the time you’re spending with your loved ones. I’m taking the whole week off and it’s a very necessary break!
3. Day Drinking. If you’re over 21, you get to start with the red wine and spiced cider early to make those personal conversations easier when you’re family starts asking about your love life.
4. People. Being around your favorite people is pretty straight forward!
5. Food Prep. Getting to prep the food while watching the parade with my mom and sisters is one of my favorite traditions. Sometimes it’s not the meal, it’s the moments.
6. Table. There something about a seasonally appropriate table runner, fancy china, and place cards that makes me so happy. Everything has it’s place. And it’s only a matter of time before all my favorite people will be seated there.
7. Football. Whether it’s touch football in the front yard or watching the game on the big screen, football is huge part of my family tradition and connects everyone in the room.

I hope your holiday is happy and healthy!
