Thanksgiving can feel Like the ultimate Hunger Games, Alexa Dooseman pointed out in McSweeney's last year. As you take on mountains of mashed potatoes and piles of pies, it's a battle to see which family member will be the last standing. When the day comes to a close, casualties lay on the couch watching football or even on the floor nearby, unable to make it to the furniture before the tryptophan kicks in. But it's **t Just the challenge of survival that makes Thanksgiving sort of Like The Hunger Games. To celebrate Mockingjay's pre-Thanksgiving release this week, here's why the two have more in common than you think.
