Not only is it an excuse to invite your friends from around the world, but it’ll also cut down on the mess. Keep reading to see how Thanksgiving dinner would go if you’d simply let the world in on how you do it.

Livestream Thanksgiving
-
4:00 PM
The camera is set up and ready to go. You look into it as it streams into the ether and say, "It's 5 o'clock somewhere." Then chug your cocktail.
-
4:30 PM
Over pigs in a blanket, you tell your guests that this is going to be a really magical Thanksgiving dinner. You did something "special" to the turkey.
-
5:00 PM
Dinner is served. You head into the kitchen and carry the medium-sized, overcooked turkey and set it in front of your camera. Then you begin to sensually caress your bird before carving it.
-
5:15 PM
You pile your plate with food and then eat in silence for 10 minutes.
-
5:30 PM
You unbutton your pants and consider dessert, wisely opting to take a breather.
-
5:35 PM
Someone calls you a coward on your stream, which sets you off and you decide to continue force-feeding yourself.
-
5:45 PM
Dessert. Begins.
-
6:00 PM
You're so full you hate yourself. When willing your food to hurry and digest doesn't work, you close your eyes and enter a food coma.
-

You wake up and somehow still have viewers left. You're still full so you do what any hero would: get stoned and get back to eating Thanksgiving dinner.
