20 Things We Can All Be Thankful for This Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving, as we all gather round the dinner table, drink too much booze, and stuff ourselves with stuffing, there are a few universal things we can all be thankful for.

  1. Alcohol. How else would you deal with annoying relatives during the holidays?
  2. Netflix is reviving Full House and Gilmore Girls. For once, life is fair and just.
  3. Zac Efron’s abs – no explanation needed.
  4. Adele put out her first single in four years, and the world rejoiced. And cried.
  5. McDonald’s answered everyone’s prayers and started serving breakfast all day. The world may be a little fatter, but we’re also all a lot happier.
  6. PIZZA RAT. Literally just waiting for the moment he gets as famous as Grumpy Cat and gets his own movie.
  7. Jennifer Lawrence’s amazing inability to balance.
     
  8. Missy Elliott made a comeback with her new music video for “WTF,” and it’s hard to not watch it on repeat.
  9. Hulu picked up The Mindy Project, thank god.
  10. One Direction broke up. Now if we could just get rid of the Biebz…
  11. Starbucks came out with a new drink (the Holiday Spiced Flat White), and it’s got 1,000g of sugar just like every other single drink on their menu!
  12. The Pizza Hut Box. Look. It. Up. (You're welcome.)
  13. Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner (finally) received their angel wings and strutted on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway – tune in December 7 at 10/9c (pro tip: this show is made better with the addition of the Pizza Hut Box).
  14. Our TVs are finally Duggar-free.
  15. "Hotline Bling" Vines. My personal favorite is the one with pepperonis.
     
  16. The new Star Wars movie. Because six movies just weren’t enough.
  17. Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Shumer’s friendship. In case you live under a rock and haven’t heard, the dynamic duo is writing a script for a comedy together, so they’re basically the new Amy and Tina. Thankful times infinity for girl power.
  18. Facebook is finally adding a dislike button. Ugly babies, beware.
  19. A woman will be replacing Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill. Equality FTW.
  20. Gay marriage was legalized. This is last on the list because I actually forgot it happened just this year and not multiple years ago.
