While Thanksgiving is a national holiday—one which is commonly marked by large family gatherings and a traditional turkey meal—the day is about more than meat and mashed potatoes. Thanksgiving gives us a chance to stop, slow down, and appreciate our blessings in life, including the bounty of desserts (we're talking pie) before us.
But most of us don’t just express our gratitude at the dining room table. We share shots of our family, friends, fixins, and yes, wine, on social media with cute captions, because let’s face it: our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram family is a big part of our lives, too. I mean, if you don’t “do it for the ‘gram” did you do it all? (We're kidding. Don't @ us.)
So before you settle in for a day of football, familial fighting, and a food-induced nap, check out some of the most heartfelt Thanksgiving sayings and funniest Thanksgiving Instagram captions we've read. These jokes and genuine expressions of what you're grateful for (turkey included!) will get your post all the likes.
