Ever wondered why certain family members volunteer to host Thanksgiving every year . . . and others mysteriously go quiet when the topic comes up? 😅A new poll from Realtor.com finally explains it — it all comes down to space, space, and more space.
Here are the Top 5 Things that make your home PERFECT for hosting Turkey Day:
🍳 1. A Big Kitchen (92%)
Because nothing bonds a family like bumping into each other while trying to baste a turkey. A roomy kitchen means more helping hands (or more people pretending to help).
🛋️ 2. A Big Living Room (92%)
Tied for first! Gotta have space for napping, watching football, and avoiding certain conversations. 🏈😴
🍽️ 3. A Big Dining Room
Sure, you can improvise with folding tables . . . but a real dining room makes the chaos feel classy.
🚽 4. At Least One Extra Bathroom
This is crucial. If you only have ONE bathroom, it will absolutely be punished on Thanksgiving. 💀🚻
🌳 5. Outdoor Space
Perfect for hanging out, keeping kids occupied, or taking a peaceful walk when your family gets too… family-ish. 😅
Just missing the list?🛏️ An extra bedroom🍗 A double oven (came in seventh — but honestly, a luxury most of us can only dream about)
Half of people shopping for a home say being able to host big events like Thanksgiving is a huge factor when they’re house-hunting. So your dream kitchen might also be your future holiday headquarters. 🏡💛
