Hollywood loves to hop onto social media on Thanksgiving morning to show their fans how they are celebrating America’s excuse to one day of the year overeat like crazy.
Some are busy in the kitchen putting the turkey in the oven or decorating that apple pie just so or showing off their autumnal décor.
Others are on power walks to prepare for the big, calorie-laden feast or taking in a football game with their pals or the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with Lea Michele performing.
