Thanksgiving 2024 is finally upon us, and there is nothing better than family time and catching up. Many times, this starts before dinnertime, kicking off in the group chat. In the weeks leading up to Turkey Day, the annual text messages coordinating food assignments and itineraries have been in full swing. Arguments over mac and cheese duties and debates over collard greens gurus are the norm for families each and every Thanksgiving.

Considering how chaotic 2024 has been with the presidential election and even Katt Williams seemingly opening a portal of “truth,” it’s safe to say that most people are looking forward to some much-needed catching up with their loved ones. Thanks to social media, there are enough Thanksgiving memes and GIFS to go around before and after dinner to keep the communication flowing even when everyone goes their separate ways.

One reoccurring topic for every Thanksgiving gathering is older family members inquiring about your personal life. Be prepared for the “Who are you dating?” and “Why aren’t you married yet?” questions, which are quietly loading.

While most people prepare meals for Thanksgiving dinner, some relatives bring only their appetites and adult beverages, the latter being a welcome gift.

Them: What dish you bringing on Thanksgiving

Then, there are those family members who take pride in being asked to prepare meals and show up to the task by letting the family group chat know they are ready for the kitchen wars. Beware, there may be intense dinner table debates, similar to the iconic dinner scene from Season 5, Episode 16 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Additionally, there will certainly be some back-and-forth about the proper way to make the Thanksgiving sides, particularly the classic collard greens and mac and cheese.

My husband's grandma talmbout, "COLLARD green? What she know about 'em? Does she know how to clean 'em?"
I'm not really offended b/c granny's letting this J. Crew fool her. My mom and my aunties, however, feel some kinda way. 😂 pic.twitter.com/MNXDlGFm97
