Thanksgiving Day is the holiday for families and loved ones to come together and celebrate everything they are thankful for. No gathering is complete without the delicious, loaded turkey that adorns almost every dinner table. Right from picking the perfect turkey and cooking it to seasoning it and fighting for the first bite, the craze is real. People anticipate the ultimate food item so much that post the meal, leisure knows no bounds. All those mouth-watering flavors make the tummy and the person so happy that the only thing they want to do next is slide into a peaceful sleep. People have been talking about "turkey coma" for this reason and one can't argue that the satisfaction is like no other.

While many believe it to be a metaphorical phrase, the idea of passing out after a wonderful meal is real. A man, @JackKennedy, shared a post on X, saying, "It's time for my favorite Thanksgiving Twitter tradition!" While many would expect him to post a sweet message or share a picture of a turkey or pumpkin pie, he instead posted a photo of his family members dozing off after having a scrumptious meal. "Tweet me your passed-out uncles, cousins, dad, etc," he asked other users and they didn't disappoint. People gladly shared what their day looked like post their Thanksgiving meals. Every photo has a dad or an uncle or even a family's pet pooch sitting, yawning or drooling after tucking into a good turkey. All these pictures prove that the Thanksgiving meal is always magically pleasant.
