With Thanksgiving right around the corner, people are hurriedly preparing for the holiday season. People are traveling across the country to be with their family and friends and celebrating with fellowship and reasons why they're thankful. There's nothing like having your entire family together...sometimes. Even though I'm thankful for my family, it can get crazy sometimes — especially on Thanksgiving. And if you have a big family with several relatives that come over, then you will know all about the 7 Relatives That You Will See At Thanksgiving This Year:
1. The Napper
The Napper is a Thanksgiving fanatic. These people are the first ones to fall asleep, and they're probably asleep in the recliner while everyone is still eating. They live to eat and sleep. The Napper is most likely your grandpa, uncle, or dad.
2. The Second Helper
First of all, the Second Helper NEVER shares their food. Actually, they're already getting seconds before some people have had firsts yet. You can usually find the Second Helpers sneaking food during the prayer, or they eat off other people's plates who don't finish.
"Food is important." — The Second Helper
3. The Football Watcher
Ah, the Football Watcher. This person usually stays glued to the game during the whole day, and if you ask him/her to do something, you probably won't get a response because they're in a whole other world.
4. The Dieter
The Dieter is someone who is "on a diet" during Thanksgiving. They take in really small portions, and they're all about killing the calories and carbs. However, some dieters have been prone to sneaking foods to eat for later. Don't let the diet talk fool you, they eat tons of thanksgiving leftovers when no one's around.
5. The Gossiper
MHMMM. YEP. You know who you is. Usually, the Gossiper is the aunt or grandma of the family. You know they're gonna show up, and as soon as you see them, this is how the conversation goes:
"I'm not trying to gossip, but..." "It's none of my business, but..." "I'm not trying to be rude, but..."
Yeah, we ALL have that family member.
6. The Pregnant One
There's always gonna be The Pregnant One in the family. This person always announces that they're pregnant at a big get together with family. And every time they do, there's an awkward moment of silence because no one finds it surprising. They're also the ones with the kids running around everywhere, and their kids also are the ones crying during the prayer.
7. The Vegan Hipster
The Vegan Hipster is always the person who shows up late to the dinner because they had to stop and bring their hipster tofu because they simply don't eat "that."
No matter who you are from the list, enjoy your family this Thanksgiving and the next one and the next one, even the crazy ones. Happy Thanksgiving!
