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.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
