This time of year brings around a very particular impulse to overindulge. To some, that involves eating. For others, imbibing. For a certain (typically Instagram-minded) few, all of the time and energy otherwise spent carousing are put toward hosting duties. Yet we like in a world where even Tiffani Thiessen prepares four (four!) different turkeys just to flex (Again, FOUR. Tiffani. Thiessen. From Saved by the Bell). You’ll find none of that here. Instead, allow us to put your mind at ease with the absurdity of these completely over-the-top Thanksgiving table settings we’re far too lazy to ever mess with.
