Adults make it to Thanksgiving and are relieved to have a day off. It is acceptable to wear stretchy pants while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Folks just want to eat turkey, drink a beer, chill out and watch a little football. 

It is a no-pressure holiday until you undercook the dressing or can’t get the shell off of the boiled eggs for the deviled egg tray. (Been there on all of the above.) Then, overnight, innocent-looking little Thanksgiving morphs into Black Friday at Walmart.
