Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means it's almost time for everyone to post photos of their dinner on social media, since none of us have ever seen pumpkin pie before. A picture might be worth a thousand words, but you're going to need one of these 13 funny Thanksgiving 2018 Instagram caption ideas if you really want to grab your followers' attention.

Thanksgiving is that time of year when we gather with all the relatives we normally can't stand, eat two servings of dessert (no regrets), and set a very early alarm for Black Friday shopping the next morning. Let's give thanks for all we've got, and may God have mercy on the waistband of my pants.

Nothing really exists anymore unless it's documented on social media, which means you're going to need a witty, memorable caption to go with all those pics of the green bean casserole you made, a selfie wearing your brand new Thanksgiving outfit from Fashion Nova, and the one you grabbed of your drunk Aunt Gretchen trying to wear the turkey like a hat.
