The turkey is basically synonymous with Thanksgiving at this point, which carries some tragic irony, as we mostly think of it in terms of food. But like any larger family gathering, there is always the struggle of keeping everyone civil and nice long enough to give thanks.
A womanshared the tragic taleof a ruined Thanksgiving dinner after her daughter’s boyfriend stole the turkey. A year later, sheshared an updateto the whole story that was unfortunately just as sad. Netizens did their best to show support and leave some kind words for OP who had to deal with a downright horrible family gathering.

Thanksgiving dinner and turkey almost seem inseparable

Turkey has been, is, and will likely remain the star of any Thanksgiving dinner table. The bird is so closely associated with this North American tradition, that the term “Turkey Day” can be used as a substitute. US StatesmanAlexander Hamilton once statedthat “no citizen of the United States should refrain from turkey on Thanksgiving Day,” a belief that many Americans have deeply taken to heart.
Indeed, there is no other holiday so celebrated that the actual president of the United States will, every single year,pardon a turkey. The fact that the turkey is entirely innocent is beyond the point. Indeed, North Americans are so obsessed with turkey on Thanksgiving that often enough, they struggle to separate it from other dishes. For example, instead of preparing and eating a chicken and/or duck separately, some familieselect to create a turducken, which is basically a bird, within a bird, within another bird.
People mess up their turkey every year, the breach of trust was the main tragedy

Ultimately, while we don’t have any concrete evidence for his later actions, “Chris” seems to have a bone to pick with the world and has repeatedly gone out of his way to make someone’s day worse. If we wanted food, there were multiple dishes he could have no doubt stolen, instead, he made an effort to take the hardest to transport items just to ruin the event for everyone else.
