Now, this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is about Thanksgiving. Normally I’d love to list off all the blogging and bookish things I’m thankful for but there’s a very high chance I will be doing it next week…so, Top Ten Fictional Families I’d Eat Thanksgiving Dinner With (FYI, I’m totally just going to these for the food).
THE SARGENTS FROM THE RAVEN BOYS
The food might be odd; with lots of strange herbs and yogurt and awful tea, but it would be a very entertaining Thanksgiving, judging by what you know of the family from the books. Throw in a Lynch, a Gansey, and a Parrish and it’d be good as gold.
THE WEASLEYS FROM HARRY POTTER
Should this even be doubted? Lots and lots of delicious food, magic, and, of course, all of the various Weasleys. It would be fun and most likely exhausting but still fun.
THE SCHREAVES/ SINGERS FROM THE SELECTION
Dinner in a palace. With lots and lots of delicious food. I mean, come on! Remember the strawberry sugar buns of the first book? I’d totally cry for them.
WHAT EVER DORIAN’S LAST NAME IS, WHATEVER CHAOL’S LAST NAME IS, AND WHATEVER AELIN’S LAST NAME IS FROM THRONE OF GLASS.
I actually can’t remember any of their last names. But Thanksgiving dinner in the Glass Palace would be EPIC, so long as there was Dorian AND Chaol and Celaena and not just Dorian’s family. Becuase that would be…awkward.
THE GRIMMS FROM THE SISTERS GRIMM
When I read this series I was always fascinated by the food that was described. Syrup made from marigolds? Black noodles dyed with squid ink? Cheese that tastes like applesauce? I’m curious.
THE FRAYS & LIGHTWOODS FROM MORTAL INSTURMENTS
And Simon, of course. And Magnus. We can’t forget Simon and Magnus. But I’ve always had this theory that Shadowhunters are really good cooks, and I want to confirm my theory.
THE SPIERS FROM SIMON VS THE HOMO SAPIANS AGENDA
I bet they’d be a super fun family to eat Thanksgiving dinner with, what with the whole Facebook Christmas game they play and the chipmunks thing.
KAT, HALE AND THE CREW FROM HEIST SOCIETY
Plus Kat’s entire family. Uncle Eddie sounds like a very good cook plus you get to listen to world-class thieves talking about what paintings they stole and how a family is in jail AGAIN.
THE CREW FROM THE RAMPION CREW FROM THE LUNAR CHRONICLES
I just really want to hang out with them and Thanksgiving sounds like a perfect excuse. Plus, you can bet Wolf would eat like, the entire table all by himself and there’d have to be this huge amount of food so he wouldn’t.
JESS, NICK, CECE, WINSTON, COACH & SCHMIDT FROM NEW GIRL
I know it’s not a book, but their Thanksgivings are always eventful (the whole turkey in a drier thing, also the ghost, and the “let’s go camping and hunt for food!” thing). It would be insanely fun and not much eating would happen and someone would most likely end up in the hospital or set the loft on fire, but it’d be FUN.
So! What are some fictional families you’d like to hang out with on Thanksgiving? Any on my list? What are y’all doing for Thanksgiving?
Happy Tuesday,
Hahaha I did the same thing for TTT as you did! But I had a lot of different people, except for the Lightwoods, they were on my list as well 🙂

I wonder why there’s this connection between Shadowhunters and food for a lot of people? It’s kind of weird

I wrote the post and I just wondered if they have a Thanksgiving at all. I mean Shadowhunters don’t have all the same festivities.

I forgot about that. Maybe they don’t even celebrate it. Or if they do, maybe it doesn’t have anything to do with food

I have no idea either, but since they don’t really have Christmas, I thought maybe that’s another celebration they sort of skip. hahaha

I bet the Frays would, though, because they pretended to be normal humans for so long

That’s true! Clary grew up as a mundane, so it was definitely part. Maybe she’ll convince the Lightwoods to join in 😀

I’d bet they’d participate somewhat grudgingly.

The Weaseleys would br brilliant. I also keep thinking about November cakes in Scorpio Games. Mmmm.

November Cakes are amazing. Maggie Stiefvater had a recipe for them on her website so I made them. They are delicious. You should totally make them while it’s still November.

I would love to have dinner with the Weasleys for sure! I think I would end up with amazing stories if I did dinner with the friends from New Girl too! Great list! 🙂

Thanks! Both places we would come away with some stories. Neither would be very calm.

Wonderful list!! I think the THE WEASLEYS FROM HARRY POTTER would be a great family to celebrate Thanksgiving with.

What a clever clever list! All of these sound wonderful especially the Weasleys. Maybe we would all get our own matching jumpers to wear – oh the feeeeeeeels.

It’s funny, in the books the sweaters are described as horrible but in the movie they don’t look that bad. Most importantly, they look nice and warm.

I would LOVE to celebrate Thanksgiving with The Weasleys. And The New Girl guys, they’re ALL so awesome, I love this show!! Their Thanksgiving would be messy, kind of, I’m guessing, but amazing, ahah 😛

Have you not reached any of the Thanksgiving episodes with them yet? Trust me, their Thanksgivings are eventful.

I did! But I watched this series every week, when every new episode came out, so my memories are a bit rusty, ahah. But I’m sure it’s VERY eventful, I need to rewatch that 😀

OMG. I’m just trying to picture what it would be like to eat Thanksgiving dinner with the Weasleys or the Rampion Crew. It’d be quite the experience! Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous post + choices! ❤

People might get injured, but there would be quite a lot of stories. We have enough stories as a normal family.

yESSS I WANT TO EAT WITH THE LIGHTWOODS TOO. Although that would be a very dramatic family I’m thinking. And I’d definitely sign up for the Sargents…although I might not eat anything, per se? But it would be an experience to remember. xD

The Sargents might be the only family on this list where I wouldn’t eat anything. Or if I did, I would be eating yogurt with Blue and not any of the stuff that you’re actually supposed to eat on Thanksgiving.
