It is that time of year when Thanksgiving is upon us. Finally we can feast on endless amounts of food and not be judged for it. But don't forget to be thankful for the blessings you have, because that is the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Although there are many, here are some of the best parts about Thanksgiving.
1. Having a day off to relax and eat tons of food.
You can do that any day of the year, but at least on Thanksgiving no one judges you for it.
2. Pumpkin pie
If there’s one food I have to eat on Thanksgiving, it’s pumpkin pie. And if you don’t cover your piece with whipped cream, I will silently judge you.
3. Crescent rolls
Screw carbohydrates, drown a crescent roll in butter and be proud. After all, what could be more delicious?!
4. Thanksgiving Day Parade
This is one tradition that never seems to get old. It’s entertaining and such a fun way to celebrate the holiday.
5. Cranberry sauce
Even if you don’t eat this, Thanksgiving is not complete without it.
6. Playing games with friends and family
My family and I have started this tradition where we play a different game on Thanksgiving each year. It is always tons of fun and we laugh the whole time.
7. Inviting pretty much anyone you want
Thanksgiving is the one holiday where everyone is more accepting of one another and treats each other with kindness, like inviting someone who might not have a place to go.
8. Napping after dinner
Naps are not only accepted but they’re encouraged on Thanksgiving, aka the best day of the year.
9. Appreciating others and expressing thanks
For me, nothing feels better than reminding myself all I have to be thankful for and reminding loved ones how much they mean to me.
10. Decorating for Christmas the day after
It’s never too early to get excited about Christmas.
