The holidays are a stressful time. Preparing food, ensuring family members have rides to and from the airport, ensuring everyone knows what they are bringing, when to be places, and trying to handle awkward family situations can be tough too. While the holidays can be enjoyable, it can also be a nightmare. With so much happening, preparation, or getting things done at work to enjoy the holiday, it is easy to have something slip through the cracks. There are certain things that every Thanksgiving needs to feel complete, but it is important to not forget the most important thing on Thanksgiving day this year.

Many people get excited when Thanksgiving finally rolls around. They can't wait to have their favorite dishes and desserts while spending time with friends and family. Every Thanksgiving needs a turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, gravy, and pumpkin pie. While some families will alter the meal, these are the main essentials for most meals, with other things added on like cranberry sauce, the green bean casserole, perhaps macaroni and cheese, and more. Thanksgiving also needs family, as it is one of the most special days of the year, and spending it alone is no way to celebrate. While all of these things make up a great day, they are not the most important item you need.

For some families, Thanksgiving means putting on nice clothes and having a meal together, and for others, it can involve being in your pajamas or whatever you want to wear. It is ultimately up to the host on the dress code. While it makes sense to wear something that you might wear to church or a business casual-like outfit, it isn't practical or comfortable for the holidays. Even if visiting someone who prefers everyone to look nice for the meal, that doesn't mean you can't change after the meal. That is why it is important to never forget the most important item for Thanksgiving, and that is comfy pants. It can be sweat pants, gym shorts, or whatever pants have an elastic waistline that allows release and comfort for the belly. For women, it may be yoga pants or leggings. Something to lounge around in and be comfortable after a heavy meal is a must on Thanksgiving.

It may seem silly, but forgetting comfy pants on Thanksgiving could cause an uncomfortable day. Being dressed nicely for the meal is acceptable, but once the body is full of food, it needs to release the pressure by being in pants that allow it to do so. You can wait until some guests have left, you can change right away, or perhaps you are lucky and have a family that allows you to wear comfy pants during the meal. No matter when you put them on, they are the most important item to have on Thanksgiving.
