Thanksgiving is the time of year when we sit with family and friends and reflect on the many things we have in our lives to be thankful for.

Before the sappy "thankful-for's" make their way around the table to you, read this list of the top 26 things you are thankful for this thanksgiving and try one on for size at your dinner table this year.

1. George Lucas is no longer involved in the "Star Wars" movies.

2. Your address doesn't contain the words "Gaza" or "Strip."

3That you're not a turkey.

4. If you're a chick:  Channing Tatum.  If you're a dude:  STILL Channing Tatum.  He's that hot.

5"Twilight" is over.

6. McKayla Maroney's "not impressed" face.  Ha!  That NEVER gets old!

7. Obama's victory means four more years of crazy emails from your grandpa!

10. Even though you can't afford a turkey, you gathered all the bread crumbs folks throw to the pigeons, so hello free stuffing!
