Celebrities – they're just like us. They celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends, they overindulge and need a post-meal nap, and they post food shots and selfies.
Thanksgiving is about remembering the things in our lives that we appreciate. One thing we're always thankful for is a clever or funny Instagram caption, especially when it's inspired by our favorite celebrities.
While there are many celebrities who share posts about feeling thankful for the loved ones in their lives, some take it to the next level. Some make a joke about the possible awkward encounters we have with extended family, others share funny throwback photos, and others say what we're all thinking.
If you're struggling to find an Instagram caption as hard as you're struggling to avoid another piece of pie, read on. And remember, when in doubt, keep it simple. In the words of beloved foodie and social media master Chrissy Teigen, "Screw turkey. Turkey sucks. Turkey is gross!"

"Snuggled up trying to look cute while I cant move from my food coma... or the innocent look I have before I go in for thirds...you pick." - Jennifer Lopez
Seconds are the name of the game on Thanksgiving, or thirds. Use Jennifer Lopez's quote if you're full turkey — but also full of looks.

Felicia Day hits the feeling of Thanksgiving – especially post 2016 – right on the head. Not to worry, mouths full of pumpkin pie can't discuss politics.
