Oh, the holidays. They catch us off guard every year. One minute it’s summer, the next, it’s freezing outside and we’re expected to cook and spend a nauseating amount of time with the family.

One way to perk up your fall holiday is to set up a booty call for Thanksgiving night. Here are OBC’s top 5 tips for having a holiday night you’ll be totally thankful for.

1) Plan Ahead. It’s Thanksgiving. No one is going out clubbin’ tonight. You’ve got your pick of the litter, so make sure to schedule a booty call ahead of time with someone who is trying to escape the family shenanigans just like you. OBC just happens to be full of these folks – so put out your feelings today! Give your place a warm ambience, so your booty call won’t think you’re some creepy Scrooge who hates holidays.

2) Skip the Ex. The last thing you want is to rekindle an old flame that died for a reason. The holidays are notorious for convincing us we should be in a relationship, but you’ve probably forgotten how clingy she is or how he much he loves chewing with his mouth open.

3) Don’t Binge on Turkey. It’s called tryptophan and it makes you sleepy. Do you want to fall asleep before you get to the finish line? I didn’t think so.

4) While you’re at it, don’t get too hammered. Cause we all know what happens then.

5) Black Friday : Your Escape Plan. It’s the biggest shopping day of the year! It’s foolproof. How can anyone get mad at you for slipping away at 5:30 in the morning when you just want to buy a BluRay player for your ailing grandmother? Whatever you do, don’t let an overly-clingy booty call tag along on your shopping trip.

Now you’ve got the tools for an epic Thanksgiving booty call. Now get on OBC and start huntin.
