7 Relatives That You WILL See At Thanksgiving This Year

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
