5 Reasons to still be Thankful this Thanksgiving
While we should really take time every day to appreciate the blessings of what we have, hectic schedules and the stress of pursuing the next set of goals can be a bit distracting. Thanksgiving provides a focused opportunity for us to take a step back and think about what has made 2021 special so far. If however, after pondering this for 10 seconds you are unable to think of even one thing that you’re thankful for as you celebrate this year, you can steal from our uniquely curated Top 5 list for FREE:
- If your family is crazy and chose to host a virtual Thanksgiving Day “get-together” on Zoom, remember… you’re technically not drinking that 12YO aged bourbon 🥃 by yourself. This is a key distinction to recall for the next session with your psychiatrist.
- If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner — remember you’re in charge. You CAN be discriminatory in your mask-mandating policy 😷 to create muffled harmony from even the most annoying guest
- When your mother-in-law complains about the small girth of your turkey 🦃 — remember it’s not your fault — it’s inflation. Be the hero by reminding her that you had to choose between her case of off-brand beer 🍺 for the day or a larger turkey… and you chose to guarantee she’d be lit 🔥, which is a much better outcome for all parties involved
- Thanksgiving is one of the only days of the year where you can use the excuse “I’m busy making another drink 🍹” ALL DAY LONG without getting dirty looks from your significant other 🤷
- When family is getting on your case about your always being on your phone 📱 instead of participating in the “enlightening” conversation about the latest problems your uncle’s dog is having - confidently reply that you’re shopping early Black Friday deals to get the best presents for them. They may be cautiously suspicious - so make sure to have a Black Friday’s website ready to easily toggle to for added evidence. Don’t feel condemned… those creative Instagram cocktail 🍸 mixology posts are definitely higher priority.
Finally, remember to pace yourself so you’re not the subject of next year’s shameful memories at the table. Better yet, be prepared. Get PATCH-UP hangover blocker patches and share with those you truly love. Leave the hangovers to the novices.
