You know how celebrities celebrate Thanksgiving? Pretty much the same way as us regular folks. Besides, they do have a whole lot to be thankful for – like wads of money and opportunity?

Well that’s one element, but you’d be surprised at the things that tug at the hearts of the entertainment industry – much of which has to do with family and home.

 Click onto the media bars next to each celebrity name to discover what they’re thankful for, their holiday plans or how they carry on or create holiday traditions.

 

For Bon Jovi rockers, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora spreading happiness through music is the key to them being thankful.

Country Music superstar, Carrie Underwood is thankful for all the people involved in her life each day.

Emily Deschanel, who stars as Temperance Brennan on Bones, is making a major change for Thanksgiving – one that won’t cost a turkey its life. As a matter of fact, she’s planning feed-fest for the local birds. 

Glee stars, Amber Riley and Jenna Ushkowitz are planning to eat – a lot – and when they’re finished with that – eat some more. But, Ushkowitz, like Emily Deschanel is looking forward to a heaping helping of Tofu turkey.

Clearly a romantic at heart, Fringe star, Joshua Jackson is grateful - first and foremost - for his girlfriend.

 

Miley Cyrus has a double celebration. The Hannah Montana star was born on Thanksgiving, so getting family to pile in and celebrate both events is nearly guaranteed. And Cyrus has her fav foods for that day, too, which are important to her, but not near as important as it is for Cyrus to make sure she’s back home to celebrate. 

 

Olivia Wilde, who plays Number 13 on the TV series House, concentrates her energies on giving thanks for health…as well as a healthy career.
