The food gluttony, couch unity and familial harmony (ha) that often comprises Thanksgiving Day looks so much more attractive when highly stylized by famous rich people and, presumably, their design directors.
Of course, if you and yours even celebrate the holiday as what it’s taught to us in school, “traditional” is not that traditional, per se. For instance, you may have learned in eighth grade civics class that if founding father/electricity monger Ben Franklin had his way, the only wild turkey Americans would be consuming on Thanksgiving would be in the form of hard booze (and if your freaky uncle happened to drink some yesterday: peace be with you). Turkey and stuffing gets touted by Butterball and Stouffer’s the only way to go, but pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving ate deer and watercress. If your family is immigrant or thereabouts, shout to your tamales, callaloo, Andhra mutton curry, mangu, dim sum, whatever you have—all of that. And as this peek into celebrity Instagram shows us, no matter how we celebrate, the main point of unity is being with people we love. (And, maybe, that goddamn parade.)
Above: Thanksgiving á la Khloe Kardashian, who promises she baked it all herself and will provide proof via her app. She also had a lovely table…
…but, shit, it couldn’t really rival Martha’s (no one’s could).
Reese Witherspoon tried it.
Or, if you’re Oprah, you just rent out the Rainbow Room real quick…
Celeb chef Eddie Huang, of Fresh Off the Boat fame, shared some helpful cooking tips for next Thanksgiving which, lord willing, will be the only time you have to think about Donald Trump in November 2016.
FLOTUS, the President (in an approximation of Hotline Bling Dad look) and the first daughters served Americans in need.
Tracee Ellis Ross busted out a whole mess of greens, everyone approved.
