For some of us, most of the joy of Thanksgiving comes from the long hours in the kitchen, sweating over a hot bird, mashing potatoes, rolling out pie crusts and making cranberry sauce from scratch. But not many of us. 

For the rest of us, there are a number of options. You can go out to a restaurant for Thanksgiving. You can do all the cooking and hate every minute of it. You can ignore the entire dumb thing altogether. Or, you can get a Thanksgiving meal to-go, serve it in the comfort of your own home, and get all the joy with none (or less) of the cooking. You can even pretend you made it yourself. We won't tell your guests. 

Here are six great places where you can get your holiday feast to-go:
