It’s that time of year again! The holidays are officially upon us and this is about the time where we go into turbo mode—endless shopping, food extravaganzas, and of course the relative talk. Here’s a list of things to do during Thanksgiving at home!
1. Watch the Thanksgiving parade in NYC
This is a necessity. The Rockettes are a fan-favorite in my opinion.
2. You can’t forget the dog shows either.
Who doesn’t love dogs?
3. Run a turkey trot
Why not get some exercise before you feast?! After all, participating in a turkey trot goes to a good cause!
4. Bake a pie
What’s Thanksgiving without pies? Whether its apple, pumpkin, pecan, etc., I guarantee you’ll be satisfied. Treat yo’ self!
5. Watch a TV show’s Thanksgiving episode: Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, etc.
TV shows always have the best Thanksgiving episodes.
6. Watch the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special
In addition to TV shows, the Charlie Brown special is a classic. You can catch this episode on Wednesday, Nov. 23rd at 8pm on ABC!
7. Work if you can!
I know that’s probably the last thing people want to do, but make some money while you can! Even if it’s only a day or two at your old job, you’ll thank yourself later.
8. Carve a turkey
I know this is usually a job for all the dads out there, but haven’t you always wanted to carve a turkey?! Take it upon yourself and get the feast started.
9. Lastly, allow time for relaxation
Let’s give ourselves a break as we prepare for the dreadful finals week. After all, Thanksgiving is about coming together with family; so don’t forget to spend some time with them.
