Four massive turkeys (one for the neighbors!) marinated in Cajun spices in the oven, tasteful votive candles arranged just so on a white tablecloth, a team of friendly-faced personal chefs: As we learned through a series of Instagrams over the holiday weekend, Thanksgiving à la Oprah is the American dream.

Clearly, the Winfrey residence is the place to be for the holidays — it's just too bad our invites got lost in the mail. Now, how long before someone finds a way to turn this Thanksgiving surprise into an iconic meme, like that other famous Oprah giveaway? We can see it now: You get a Glow Kit, and you get a Glow Kit, and you get a Glow Kit...
