Life
In the process of arranging the epic meal that is Thanksgiving dinner, something is just bound to go wrong. It’s Murphy’s Law—the more you try to prevent it, the more likely you are to have a crazy misfire on your hands that you could never have predicted. But what better way to celebrate Thanksgiving fails than to laugh about them and share them with others? After all, isn’t that what the season is all about?
Luckily there are a whole host of generous people out there willing to let the world see their messy, complicated, hilarious Thanksgiving mishaps. Amidst all the stress caused by relatives coming over and preparing the huge banquet for the evening, taking a break to smile and not take things so seriously is the easily the best way to enjoy the holiday all the more. So whether you just found out you ran out of flour for the pie or dropped your rolls, these blunders will show you that everyone has at least one amusing accident that causes everyone to crack up.
These days, Thanksgiving isn't just a time for celebrating togetherness and being appreciative of what we have, but for witnessing utterly, completely entertaining fails. Let these shots remind you to keep your camera phone at the ready this year—you just never know what your family will contribute to this new tradition over the course of the evening.
