Thanksgiving is this week and that means we all get to spend some much needed quality time with our family. Here are ten things we all love about thanksgiving!

1. The Food

Thanksgiving is a feast! The beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes, ham, yams, chicken, turkey...

2. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Growing up the best thing to do was wake up to my mom and aunts in the kitchen and watching the parade with my cousins waiting for dinner to finish. Then promptly being told to help with the deviled eggs.

3. The Shade

Just like every other family we all have disagreements that we put aside for the holidays but there is always a little hiccup. Passive aggressive comments being dished out along side a cup of tea is always funny when it's not you.

4. Naps

Having a good ole food coma after a delicious meal is the one of the best feelings in the world. Having a full belly and a smile on my face is what I typically look like on Thanksgiving.

5. Football

After the naps and after dinner there's nothing like watching football with the family. Sometimes if you're lucky enough you can even start a game in the backyard with the family.

6. Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is an American classic that appetite time and generational transcends. After a good game of football watching this classic cartoon is a great way to relax.

7. Second Dinner

After you've completed the previous tasks I can guess that you've probably worked up another boundaries; so why not treat yourself to second dinner? After all, you have been working pretty hard all year why not treat yourself?

8. Dessert

There is always more than enough sweets in the kitchen during this time of year. Meaning you're going to have to run double time on that appetite in order to eat at the same rate during Christmas, YIKES!

9. Traditions

One of my favorite things about thanksgiving is hearing the stories from years past. Carrying out traditions and bringing everyone together for one day.

10. Being with Family

No matter what we all go through during the year coming together for thanksgiving is always going to be special and I hope all of you have a great thanksgiving!
