Why Thanksgiving Is The Best

Yes, it's more than just the food.

1. The Food

Food is wonderful anytime of the year, but there's just something about the food made especially for the Thanksgiving holiday that makes the holiday so good. At any other time during the year, going to the grocery store, and coming out with a cart full of groceries and next-to-empty bank account would cause a feeling of annoyance and anxiety. However, it's different when Thanksgiving comes rolling around. Cooking at any other time during the year is something of a nuisance in some places, but cooking Thanksgiving dinner with your family is completely different. Staying up late into the night, cooking and cleaning, just has a more meaningful and sentimental aroma too it this time of year, It becomes more about doing these things alongside your family, just makes doing these things more manageable, and it make the Thanksgiving holiday on of the most fondly remembered.

2. Family

Thanksgiving is not remembered purely because of the food, but it also makes for some fond memories regarding family. Thanksgiving is a time when your family comes together, not matter how much they dislike together. And even if your whole family does not come together all at once, they at least have the urge too. At this time in the year, we have an insatiable urge to be surrounded and loved by other people. and giving thanks around the thanksgiving table is a perfect way to show how thankful you really are to have those around you.

3. Giving Back

Indeed, it is the "Season of Giving". There is a reason as to why the days leading up to and during the Thanksgiving Season, and it is because the giving back aspect of the holiday is what means the most, at least to me. It's a golden opportunity to give back to your community, because there are so many ordganizations who send out boxes of food, and serve Thanksgiving dinner to the needy, it's definitely not hard to find some way to help your community, you just have to have the heart to do it.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
