What Has "Friends" taught us about Thanksgiving?

Reflect on some of the funniest Thanksgiving episodes with me...

What Has "Friends"  taught us about Thanksgiving?

You could argue that pretty much every episode of "Friends" has taught us something. As we approach the holiday season, it is only fitting that we take a look back on some of funniest Thanksgiving episodes. Maybe these episodes are so funny because they are a little bit true for all of us and our family's?!

Before beginning baking your holiday dessert, make sure that you are using the correct ingredients.

When your sibling doesn't have a filter, take a deep break and move on.

Face it, siblings can be a pain in the butt. This particular Thanksgiving, Rachel's sister came to town. The gang was not too thrilled because she had nothing nice to say. You can probably guess what happened by checking out the GIF below...

DON'T let anyone invite your high school enemy to Thanksgiving dinner.

You are not a true Friends fan if you don't remember the one with Brad Pitt. Drama ensues when Rachel finds out he hates her and that he spread a nasty rumor about her in high school. Long story short, make sure you know who is going to be on the guest list before they arrive.

The best kind of competition is competition with yourself.

Monica told the group that she didn't want to cook Thanksgiving dinner this year, but Phoebe convinced her to anyway. She told her that it would be like Monica was challenging herself to top all the last Thanksgiving meals. Obviously, Monica couldn't resist. We can all use a little bit of Monica's drive to do a job well done.

Playing football with your sibling is a dangerous source of sibling rivalry.

Playing a sports game with your siblings doesn't always end well. Especially if you guys are competitive. The 'Geller Cup' was something from Ross and Monica's childhood that brought up old drama, resulting in Monica and Ross going at it on the football field.

The easiest way to get a guy to say he loves you? Dance around with a raw turkey on your head.

This was a moment that goes down in history. The first time Chandler tells Monica he loves her.

Not every holiday is going to be magical.

It's okay if your Thanksgiving isn't absolutely amazing, as long as your have your family and friends surrounding you.

Sometimes you need really stretchy pants if you want to finish your meal.

Of course Joey was the one to put on maternity pants for their Thanksgiving meal. There is always that one person at the table who needs to eat everything in sight.

Hopefully, you took something away from all of these tips and tricks for a successful holiday. If you couldn't tell, I am kind of obsessed with "Friends." But...who isn't?!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
