At first glance, Thanksgiving might not seem like the most romantic holiday on the calendar. When most people think of Thanksgiving, they think of food. And let’s face it: when you’re moaning on the couch after too-many helpings of mashed potatoes, romance is the last thing on your mind.
And yet, Thanksgiving is ultimately about gratitude, and nothing inspires gratitude quite like that special someone. Whether it’s a new love or a longtime partner, having that person in your life is truly a blessing. One way to celebrate that blessing is to send your sweetheart a Thanksgiving message that lets them know how grateful you are to have them.
To help you express your feelings, we’ve put together the following list of romantic Thanksgiving wishes. They include Turkey Day greetings in a variety of forms, so you can find the perfect way to say “Happy Thanksgiving, my love.”
