Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you are all enjoying a little time off and being surrounded by everyone who loves you. To college kids, Thanksgiving Break is one of the best breaks. We love it for so many reasons that I might as well list them all. So, from my family to yours, I hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving this year and please enjoy the many reasons we kids love Thanksgiving.

11 Reasons Why Thanksgiving Break is the Best

1. You are in the homestretch! After you come back there is only like 2 more weeks of classes. And then you're DONE. You can throw that psychology book away!
2. You don't have to pack up, but it is not too short. We are usually off for 5-7 days for Thanksgiving. Which means it is not like the summer where we have to pack everything up, but it is also not like fall break where we only get 2 days. It is just a nice period of time.
3. Your family! Who doesn't like seeing there family?? Especially when all of them come to your house including your crazy uncles!
4. The next break is Christmas! Again, you are in the homestretch! In less than a month you're off for a month!
5. Macy’s Day Parade. A family tradition at my house.
6. Black Friday Shopping. Can't live with it, can't live without it.
7. You can pick up a couple extra shifts for the holidays while you’re home. Like mentioned before it is a decent amount of time where you can even work and make some extra money! Like I said Black Friday is craaaazzzzzyyy!
8. Friends’ break is the same. Some breaks can be a different time depending on the college you go to, but you can't move Thanksgiving. Which means that you will most likely be able to see all of your bffs.
9. The atmosphere. Everyone is happy. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful. No stress or presents or pressure. Just being to getting is enough.
10. THE FOOD! Saving the best for last! Who else is excited for turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes, olives, stuffing, gravy, pie, etc, etc, etc???
11. The Leftovers!!! Ok, I saved the real best for last. Although I like all of the foods above the first time around, I really love when we have them for supper and also having stuffing and mashed potatoes for breakfast the next day!!!
