Good Thanksgiving captions start with something only your photo could say. A small detail makes a familiar holiday feel like your own.
Mention one real detail from the photo — the table, the pie, the people — plus how you feel. Short captions like "Grateful, full and happy" work well; or upload the photo above and get captions written for it.
Keep it simple and specific: name who or what you're thankful for. See the Grateful & faith section for 15 ideas.
