Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. And while some people wish the day with family and friends could have lasted longer, others are super thankful it’s over. One survey found that 20% of Americans find the holiday extremely or very stressful. The American Psychological Association (APA) has also reported that rates of anxiety, depression and substance misuse rose during the festive season, as a result of stress.
People have been sharing their Thanksgiving experiences online, in a series of very funny tweets. From family arguments, to food being dropped on the floor, there was no shortage of mishaps this year. Bored Panda has put together a compilation of the most hilarious posts, that might leave you feeling a bit better about your own Turkey Day stuff-ups.

If the holiday season leaves you feeling stressed rather than relaxed, you’re not alone. A 2023 poll by the American Psychological Association found that nearly nine in 10 Americans worry in the run-up to, and during this time of year. They cited things like not having enough money, missing loved ones and anticipating family conflict as reasons for some mild anxiety.
49% of adults described November to January stress levels as “moderate”. But 43% said that holiday stress is so bad that it actually interferes with their ability to enjoy themselves during the festive season.
Not too surprisingly, money worries topped the list of stressors during the holiday season, with 58% of U.S. adults saying that spending too much or not having enough money to spend causes them stress. Second on the list was finding the right gifts for family and friends. 38% of those polled said missing family or loved ones stresses them out the most.

It's a beaut! And I am from Miffy country so I am entitled to an opinion.
The survey found that households with a lower income (less than $50,000 a year) were more prone to stress, which makes sense given that financial concerns were the top culprit for causing sleepless nights. “At this hectic time of year, it is important that people take care of their mental health, especially in communities whose members feel disproportionately burdened or excluded from what is traditionally considered the holiday season,” said APA’s chief executive officer, Arthur C. Evans Jr in a press release.

This reminds me of my Nan and grandad they used to unplug everything. We bought them a cordless phone so they could keep it next to them and they didn't have to struggle to get out of the chair to answer the phone. But they used to unplug it every night so it never changed up.

At first I thought they meant they accidentally petted a bone like a hambone or turkey bones like a dog bc they just pet things instinctively when they're nervous which tbh is so relatable 4 me

Was standing near some relatives before the meal began and heard my father in law say "so were you happy with the election results?" and immediately noped out of there.
