Thanksgiving is a major festive occasion in the United States and Canada. For American gymnast Jordan Chiles, it is more special this year than in years past. The native of Vancouver, Washington, calls Los Angeles, California, her home now. Regardless, she rings on the holiday in New York City this year.

Thanksgiving is a holiday known for, among other things, the traditional feast starring a turkey. Gourmets enjoy the holiday more than most, it is safe to say. Jordan Chiles also delved into the festivities as her latest social media post suggests. Alongside, she seems to have taken a short break from the strict diet and regimen.
