With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it's time to project thanks for those things that we are thankful for. It's also the time of year to gather with friends and loved ones.

Here are 12 Thanksgiving shenanigans told through the cast of "Modern Family."

When you're waiting for dinner to be served but need a quick snack 

Waiting for the Thanksgiving meal to be done is the longest waiting game ever. I'm sure we all can relate to snacking on all the goodies while we wait for Turkey to be served.

That feeling when your favorite cousin shows up 

Everyone has that one cousin or family member that they're super close too. Every time you two see each other, the party starts and it makes the holidays even more special.

When you finally get to eat

You ate all the snacks and hear the words "Dinner's ready." It's the best thing you'll hear all day.

That one cousin who sings all the show-tunes during the Broadway performances on the Macy's Parade

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a staple for most families on Thanksgiving. For all of us theatre lovers, it's the day where we get to see all of our Broadway favorites belt their faces off and give us the performances of their lives.

Of course, there's always that one cousin who sings all the words to every Broadway song.

When your Aunt who can't cook said she made the macaroni and cheese 

There's always that one family member who loves to help everyone during the holidays, but they know their cooking is so bad the dog won't eat it.

When someone brings up politics 

Let's face it, in today's political climate, politics are bound to come up as a topic of discussion this holiday season. Ignore it and abort mission!

When someone asks if you're still single 

The age old question, that every family member asks during the holidays. Why yes Aunt Sara, I am still very single and I'm doing just fine.

When you're finally grown enough to sit at the adult table

Growing up everyone usually sits at the kid's table, but once you become of age you get to sit at the adult table and hear all the secrets and gossip. You find out that all the secret and gossip is about adult issues and how much being an adult sucks. I'll drink to that.

When your baby cousin shows you the baby shark video for the 1000th time 

No one wants to watch Baby Shark anymore. It's not going to happen!

When your Aunt tells you about her new "man"

If you can't find any information about your new potential man, give us his name and about five minutes and we'll have all the information you need.

When someone asks how college is going

Let's not talk about it.

When it's time for the Family Photo 

We all get annoyed when it comes time for the family photo because we're bloated from all the food and we're tired. At the end of the day, we do it because it makes Grandma happy and it's always nice to look back on these photos and memories.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
