The True Meaning of Thanksgiving
There are some people who foolishly decide to turn Thanksgiving into some sort of big production: maybe they play football in the morning, maybe they go to a movie in the evening. If that’s your jam, I’m not going to tell you that you can’t, but I think you might be missing out on the glory of Thanksgiving.
These people get it. The great thing about Thanksgiving is just sitting around, eating a massive meal, watching a movie at home, eating the leftovers of that massive meal for dinner, watching another movie, and then passing out in a turkey-fueled coma. That’s the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
