The best Thanksgiving 2017 memes

Today is Thanksgiving, and we all know what that means – it’s the day before Black Friday...

We jest, we jest. Even though the UK doesn't traditionally celebrate Thanksgiving, we can still appreciate what this day really means for our American neighbours – a day filled of awkward family small talk and pressure to explain why you are still single and have not bought a house yet.

But count yourself lucky, Americans, because it basically sounds like you get double Christmas, which is splendid no matter how brain draining your family can be.

So if you’re feeling a little worn out by the chat with your Nan, hide in the spare room and take a look through these memes.
