Thanksgiving is hands-down one of the best holidays of the year, and we're not talking about the twisted history of it all; we're talking about the food. The turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, the pie...why do we only get this feast once a year? (Not counting the leftovers we'll shamelessly polish off for the next week.) Maybe it's the limited-edition feel that makes it so special, that one meal we wait all year to enjoy. Sure, Thanksgiving is about family and gratitude and all that, but let's not pretend those things don't come with a side of family drama.
We've all been there, stuck in polite conversation with an aunt who has very different views, and suddenly, the pumpkin pie doesn't hit the same. And that's why Friendsgiving is the true event of the szn. It's all the delicious food, but with your chosen family—the friends who get you and won't ask about your life plans over the cranberry sauce. So, as you start planning your Friendsgiving potluck, scroll through these memes to get in the spirit!
