It's pre-Christmas, and it will be a day of stress, love, and wonderful food.
1. You wake up to the sounds of a parent slamming pots and pans on the counter top
GiphyIt is time. The day has begun and your mom or dad will start yelling for you any minute.
2. You finally make it downstairs and you're assigned your tasks before family arrives
GiphyThere will be the "Make this table," or the "Dust the entire house because your cousins are coming and they won't notice but your aunt sure will. Oh, and please stay out of the kitchen." You know, the usual.
3. You try to eat breakfast and lunch but honestly you can not WAIT for dinner tonight and the smells coming from the kitchen are overwhelming
GiphyWhat are we celebrating again? I'm just excited to eat.
4. You rush and make your way to the grocery store at least once (maybe twice) because your parents can't leave the kitchen
Giphy"You would think mom wouldn't forget anything for tonight, but I guess it is pretty easy to forget gravy when you're making a million other dishes," you think to yourself as you try to defend the forgetfulness.
5. You spend a few hours feeling bored as you wait for your family members to arrive because you still aren't allowed in the kitchen and you find yourself watching that one "Friends" episode to kill some time.Â
GiphyFootball or "Friends"? Honestly I should ask my mom if she needs more help but I'll just keep watching this.
6. Your family finally arrivesÂ
GiphyIt is suddenly overwhelmingly loud and you now get to talk about your life for the next few hours. Food cannot come soon enough.
7. Hours and hours seemed to go by but dinner is finally ready
GiphyAt llllaaaassssstttttttttt, my dinnnnnnneeeeerrrrrrrr will be mmmmiiiinnneeeeeeeeee!
8. You have to sit through and listen to either heated debate or six conversations at once while you eatÂ
GiphyHonestly, I'll just keep quiet and enjoy these mashed potatoes for their deliciousness.
9. You get one look from your mom and suddenly your busting the whole table
GiphyBut hey, there are worse things in life. For instance, I'm not even toughing that turkey carcass I don't care what my parents say.
10. It's round two. You've been waiting for that pie all dayÂ
GiphyThere's this cool thing called a dessert stomach where you have more room for dessert than you did five minutes ago. Isn't that great?!?
11. Your family slowly starts to leave, and the food coma starts to settle inÂ
GiphyIt's been a great meal, even if there was some arguing. At the end of it all, it's still been a great thanksgiving.
