Thanksgiving is upon us! As someone who’s half English and half American, I normally eat half a turkey on Thanksgiving, with a side of half a fish with half a portion of chips that have all been cut in half lengthways. After that, I watch an entire football game whilst kicking a soccer ball at my television. One of my other holiday traditions, which is less particular to me, is to look at cartoons about Thanksgiving—some of my favorites are in the slide show above. If you need me, I’ll be repairing my broken T.V. whilst clutching my stomach in pain.
