Like any true Blair Waldorf stan, I have many Thanksgiving traditions that mean the world to me. Gathering with family, watching the parade, and teaming up with my younger brother to make the mashed potatoes are just a few of my personal favorites. But perhaps the most delicious tradition of all? That has to be the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, naturally eaten post-Black Friday shopping spree. Nothing fills my Thanksgiving-loving heart more than putting together the perfect combination of multiple kinds of bread (yes, I think stuffing still belongs on a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich) and reliving the amazing meal from the night prior.
