Thanksgiving is a day where we take the time to reflect on what we're thankful for. Most people say their families, friends and their kids. That's nice and all but let's be less cliche and more realistic. We're AMERICANS and we can be pretty selfish, which is why I created a list of the REAL things Americans are thankful for this Thanksgiving.

    Yoga Pants/Leggings

    For being elastic and allowing females to eat as much as they want without having to undo any buttons or loosen anything.

    And guys are just thankful for leggings year round.
