Thanksgiving is coming up at the end of the month, and past the coziness of November, the warmth of a fire, and the harvest of autumn, there's the gratitude that comes with the holiday. So taking a moment to reflect on the animals in our lives who we truly love may be the best way to celebrate.

It's one of the most celebrated holidays. Seeing as it's not connected to a belief system, it can be easy to celebrate without tension or opinions. Food is the celebration for this holiday, that and giving thanks. Giving thanks is a wonderful practice, and in the world of mindfulness it's already hit it's peak of fame. If you have a special kitty, a doggo, or a hamster that you call yours, maybe this year it's a good idea to tell them just how much they mean to you. The whole family can get in on the event, and even if you think they don't understand you, they actually do. Animals give us life in a way we wouldn't have without them. There's no reason not to celebrate with animals this year, because they might enjoy some of that turkey leg!

From feasting with family, to snuggling your pet afterwards with a bloated belly, these animal memes are perfect to scroll when the evening starts settling down. They're perfect to scroll in preparation for the festivities of food, family, and fun. So enjoy these furry fixings of animal memes and kiss your pet for us at Animal Comedy.

Thanksgiving is hands down a ubiquitous holiday favorite. I think we can admit how much we love the warmth of the fireplace, decorative leaves everywhere, and the myriad of smells emitting from the kitchen. Your mother has been cooking up a storm since 5 am, turkey basting in the oven, potatoes boiling on the stove, pecan and pumpkin pies set aside for dessert. It's a magical holiday of sensory wonders, and you get to see the whole family too. Not having the privilege to be with your family for Thanksgiving can send someone into wistful longing for that warmth and love that the holiday provides. Everyone deserves to be with their family for the holiday, regardless of their occupation.

Thanksgiving is many Americans' favorite holiday. A plenteous and convivial gathering, uncles and aunts in full merriment, carouse and playful banter, while the little ones run around playing hide-and-seek before dinner. Being a host for such an extravagant holiday is no walk in the park. From cleaning the home, setting up the decorations and food, and greeting the guests, to preparing each and every dish, is a nightmare for some, and an exciting challenge for others. Thanksgiving is one of the most sacred holidays. From the coziness and warmth, to the delectable dinner items of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, how can you go wrong? This eclectic spread remains a tradition and a staple of American cuisine, and don't get us started on the leftovers. Although the holiday is a cultural favorite, when families get together, you never know what can happen.
