It’s easy to get caught up in trying to host the perfect Thanksgiving dinner. You probably have friends and family over to celebrate this day by having dinner together, or sending thanksgiving quotes messages via WhatsApp or SMS. And you’re definitely going overboard with food, decoration, and more. While all the stress may seem worth it seeing your family and friends all happy; we sometimes forget the very essence of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving isn’t the perfect roast turkey or the most delicious cranberry sauce. It isn’t about the most creative party games or the best décor you can think of. Putting together the perfect party may seem super important to you, because of how social media makes out Thanksgiving to be that picture-perfect family occasion.

But when you stop for a moment and are ready to really think about it, you’ve lost the real reason behind Thanksgiving. In all of the hubbub, you might forget that the Thanksgiving holiday is all about reconnecting with your loved ones and expressing gratitude for all of life’s blessings.

Happy thanksgiving

These Thanksgiving quotes are a perfect way to remind your family that this time, make it all about gratitude and not about the turkey. They are the perfect mix of funny, inspiring, and insightful sayings to convey your message better than the words you could string together. But most importantly, these thanksgiving quotes remind us of the true spirit of Thanksgiving: a day to be grateful for everything you have.
