"Thanksgiving can be a minefield: The turkey might be dry. Your nephew might accidentally elbow a glass of red onto your white sweater. Your mom might ask wildly personal and inappropriate questions about when you'll make her a grandma. (Sharon, stop.) And yet, there's plenty to be thankful for anyway. If you're healthy and have good people in your life, amazing. If 2025 was the year you finally finished grad school, switched jobs, or moved into a home you love, fantastic."
"If you were dumped last week and can make it through the appetizers without tearing up, pat yourself on the back! The big stuff is important, no question. But also, what about life's tiny joys? Its frivolous delights? Aren't those worth celebrating, too? After all, Conrad went to Paris. You've watched enough color analysis videos to semi-confidently pick a flattering lip color. Boyfriends around the world are learning the "Fate of Ophelia" dance. Glen Powell exists."
Celebrities, creators, and artists name small, silly, and specific things they appreciate this Thanksgiving alongside major life milestones and personal resilience. Responses range from gratitude for supportive online communities and a new puppy to playful thanks for pop culture moments, home fragrances, and relationships. The tone mixes humor and sincerity, noting relief at surviving awkward family moments, pride in personal achievements, and joy in frivolous comforts like favorite candles, dances, and celebrity moments. The list highlights how tiny pleasures and communal connections can coexist with big accomplishments and difficulties during holiday celebrations.
