Ah, Thanksgiving. There’s nothing like sitting down to a giant meal with your loved ones… until someone drinks too much Manischewitz, starts a rowdy political debate, or forces you to eat a second helping of the corn nobody liked.
Yes, the Thanksgiving meal can be cause for much humor (and agony). We compiled a list of some of the funniest, strangest, and just downright true tweets about Thanksgiving with Jewish families.
We hope you are as entertained as we are:
