RESULTS!

If you answered mostly A’s, you’re the Turkey! 

Thanksgiving dinner is all about YOU and yeah, you know it.  As the star of this whole meal, you’re getting to be kind of a diva about it.  You’re stuffed, alright – full of yourself.  Relax a bit, it’s just a holiday, and holidays are supposed to be fun, right?

If you answered mostly B’s, you’re Mashed Potatoes!

The rest of the year, you’re just a couch potato, but during the Holiday season, you’re the mashed potatoes.  Hey!  Eyes off the TV, I’m talking to you!  You are barely even aware of the holiday season, as long as it coincides with Football season.  Could you at least load the dishwasher or something?  Turkey is mad at you for not helping, in case you haven’t noticed.  Big surprise, you haven’t noticed.  We’ll deal with this after the Super Bowl, I guess.

If you answered mostly C’s, you’re the Casserole!

Let’s get real: you’re only here because someone brought you to be nice.  It’s weird for you, it’s weird for everybody, we get that.  Maybe you’re dating someone at the meal, maybe you’re made of quinoa, maybe your family lives too far away for you to visit, maybe you’re vegan.  Whatever.  We’re all just going to be polite and not make this weirder than it has to be.

If you answered mostly D’s, you’re Pumpkin Pie!

Aww, aren’t you sweet?  Without you, this dinner would be a disaster.  You’re feeding Turkey’s ego with much-needed compliments, making the Casserole feel included and less awkward, and politely ignoring Mashed Potatoes unlacing his sweatpants at the dinner table.  You’re having a good time, and that’s the most important thing.  You’re such a fabulous addition to the Thanksgiving dinner table, we’re thinking of having you back for Christmas as well.  Thanks for being such a sweetie!
