Thanksgiving is the middle child in the holiday bunch: it's not young enough to dress up in costumes and be socially acceptable like Halloween (until college that is) and it isn't an old and timeless holiday tradition like Christmas and/or Hanukkah. Thanksgiving is overlooked from the greatness of these other holidays and it's easy to forget showing this thankful day some love. Everyone talks about how great their Halloween was and how excited they are for Christmas but no one really talks about how amazing Thanksgiving is.

So if you're a turkey lover like me and refuse to listen to Christmas music until December, this one's for you. Here are my top 6 pet peeves to the people who forget about the middle child, Thanksgiving.

Being asked what day Thanksgiving falls on:

Every. Single. Time.

"But I don't like turkey"

Final answer.

"No one sings about Thanksgiving"

In a few years, we'll be singing this along to the radio.

"I'm just waiting for ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas and Rudolph"

But have you seen "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving"?

"I don't want to get fat"

The one day in the entire year where it is socially acceptable to eat as much food as you could possibly want and not be judged. That's some major life goals right there.

Trying to make Thanksgiving cool but no one takes you seriously:

I tried guys, I tried.

With Thanksgiving coming up this Thursday, remember that it isn't just turkey time, but a day to give thanks and spend time with friends and family. Enjoy it while you can, because soon enough we won't be able to escape the endless Christmas music until the new year.
