It’s close to that time of year when your dysfunctional family puts aside its differences to break bread at the Thanksgiving table. As the kids run amok eating sugary sweets before main course, abuela is off in the corner sitting idly as she waits for the perfect opportunity to ask you or one of your 28 cousins why you showed up single this year.

Meanwhile, the uncle you just met starts to scarf down los tostones you had been eying all day and your sneaky prima has already started building her take-home plate. Before you know it, you’re sifting through the pernil your eccentric tia forcibly dumped on your plate, and you start to wonder if there’s anyone else around the world going through the same chaos.
Thankfully, hashtags like #ThanksgivingWithHispanics (and #ThanksgivingWithBlackFamilies) popped up just in time for the festivities. Each clever pun and hilarious anecdote is guaranteed to pinch a nerve from past family memories and serve as a comedic reminder that our cultural families are more alike than different. You’ll be laughing all the way past leftovers.
