But don't confuse us with Hollywood actors or models or rock stars-those people you feel like you know because you read so much about them in the tabloids, but who are actually completely boring compared to the roles they play or the ballads they sing. We're seated immediately at the finest restaurants in the chicest neighborhoods with nary a reservation.
We frequent all the best beaches and the most exclusive ski resorts in Austria and Utah. Our families own yachts, estates, and vineyards in various exotic locations throughout the world. We attend Manhattan's most elite single-sex private schools. We're an exclusive group of indescribably beautiful people who happen to live in those majestic, green-awninged, white-glove-doorman buildings near Central Park. Don't get out much? Hair so processed it's fried your brain? Perhaps you're not one of us after all and you have no due what I'm talking about or who "we" are. And the truth is, I've been here all along, because I'm one of you. Hey people! Ever have that totally freakish feeling that someone is listening in on your conversations, spying on you and your friends while you sip lattes on the ivory-colored steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, following you to premieres and parties, and just generally stalking you? Well, they are. It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you. Happy Thanksgiving!

That may be questionable but still, goes to show just how influential the drama remains, almost 10 years after the original ended. All of these tweets overwhelmingly insist the show invented Thanksgiving. Others say they listen to Derulo's song on repeat. Which bring us to Twitter: people have actually deemed the holiday of Thanksgiving " Gossip Girl day." Some say they rewatch the aforementioned episode and others, in observance of GG day. From the enviable aesthetics to the delicious dialogue and to the rising suspense levels: the compounding effect of it all is a truly memorable meal some of us aren't ready to let go of. Grievances are aired and brilliant one-liners are haughtily uttered: "Your sweet potatoes are bland." And it's all set to Jason Derulo's "Whatcha Say" - an iconic musical choice, in itself, as the song samples Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek," famously used in the dramatic Season 2 finale of fellow teen drama The O.C.Īs a biased Gossip Girl fan myself, I have to say the Thanksgiving episode is unforgettable, for both the undeniably ridiculous content and execution that kept us glued to our screens. Secrets unravel and tensions simmer in palpitation-inducing succession. Why exactly? Well, Gossip Girl's connection to Thanksgiving can be traced to one episode in particular: Season 3, episode 11, "The Treasure Of Serena Madre." In this one, the entire cast sits around the Van der Woodsen dining table, and the meal turns quickly sour.
You wouldn't expect our resident, privileged Upper East Siders to be the face of this holiday, but the beloved series has sprouted cult-like viewers to champion this annually. That's right, the CW teen show that provided unending drama, intrigue, and ridiculous levels of luxury (not to mention fashion inspiration) is lauded by some fans on Twitter as the Thanksgiving show. But for a select, intensely dedicated group, it means Gossip Girl. For many, Thanksgiving celebrations entail the expected: home-cooked turkey, cranberry sauce, and being with family and friends, amongst other things.
