“Can someone vacuum before they arrive?”
Chances are you’ve heard one of your parents make this request if you’re home for Thanksgiving, a time filled with turkey and gorging on mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and lots of awkward conversations with those distant family members you see as often as you go to the dentist.
“I know, I can’t believe it’s been so long.” “Yes, I’m still single.” “No, I didn’t look The Workshop again.” And let’s not even talk about when politics inevitably comes up two or three bottles of wine later.
And that’s why you need comfort food. No, we’re not talking about Aunt Maureen’s green bean casserole and the rest of the feast you’re eagerly waiting to dig into, we’re talking comfort food for your soul that only a treasured TV show or movie can provide.
So if you’re looking for a cozy distraction right now, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite Thanksgiving-themed show episodes like Gossip Girl, how I Met Your Mother And Friends (could the NBC series be best for celebrating football-focused holidays and parties), as well as a few Turkey Day films.
