This year was definitely different for most of us  celebrating Thanksgiving.  For celebrities, it’s been just as different. Whether it was staying home or having just a few guests due to the ongoing pandemic, Thanksgiving this year was celebrated in a different way. Lots of celebrities took to Instagram their celebrations and photos, to let us know what they were grateful for this year.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have decided to “downsize a little bit” this year and make the thanksgiving celebrations about family time. “I just don‘t have it in me! I’ve been doing this for 10 years with John and his family now, and I think I’ve gotten a little tired of just seeing so much food go to waste. I go way too hard with way too many sides,” the Cravings cookbook author explained. “We’re just going to do the staples, and it’s going to be beautiful and we’re going to watch football.”

“We’re making it much more about enjoying the time with [family],” Teigen continued. “I don’t want to wake up at 4 in the morning the entire week anymore to get [the meal] done. I want to enjoy the meal with my family while they’re enjoying it.”

“Jill and I were honored today to talk to some of the heroes on the front lines of this crisis. We’re thankful today and every day for the nurses and firefighters who sacrifice so much to keep our communities safe. We see the very best of America in your courage and selflessness.”
