Thanksgiving 2014 is upon us and, even now, all we know about the American holiday is what we learned over the years from our Friends across the pond.

But if you’re not a Friends fan, or you don’t have Comedy Central and you need a refresher here’s what Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Ross and Joey taught us about the pre-Christmas holiday…

1. NEVER rule out your best friend’s fat sibling as a potential husband/wife on first impressions alone…

2. Nothing else matters when you’re spending it with your favourites…

Friends Thanksgiving sucks

3. Organised fun isn’t always the best kind, especially when there’s a Geller Cup involved…

4. Turkeys on heads evoke a whole range of emotions…
Like bemusement…

5. Beef sauteed with peas and onions do NOT go in to a traditional English trifle…

6. Thanksgiving pants are a must…

7. There is NEVER an appropriate time to bring out the posh crockery…

8. But if you do, don’t leave it unattended under any circumstances…

9. Don’t let hunger pains cloud your judgement…

It’s safe to say Thanksgiving gave us some of the best Friends episodes off all time and it’s no wonder seeing as show creator David Crane considered the holiday-themed episode the ‘hallmark show’ of each season.

So there you have it. Be safe this Thanksgiving, people!
