"So cometh that day of thanks, when we all ruminate on the events of the year past, and then lapse into the inevitable food coma. \nBeing reflective folk over here at Mashable, we have decided to take a brief break from gazing at our glowing screens to gaze into our souls, shifting through the debris to uncover what we are most thankful for. And that, dear readers, is the theme of the YouTube Roundup this week: Our smartphones. No, just kidding \u2014 it's giving thanks.\nSo before you sit on down to a huge meal replete with tryptophan, take a tick to dig into this cornucopia of heartwarming fare. I promise it's a lot more earnest than my intro \u2014 well, most of it, anyway.\nBe sure to share what you're thankful for in the comments!\nA Beautiful Year of Marriage\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVadim Lavrusik: I'm thankful for my wife Krista, my better half (I know, I know). This is a video I made for her for our one year anniversary. Watch at your own risk of \"aww\"-ing to death. You've been warned. \n\"You Are My Sunshine\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBen Parr: I'm thankful for the friends and family that bring warmth into my life.\nPebble Ridge, Westward Ho!, North Devon\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy-Mae Elliott: I love living by the seaside and go to the beach every day, rain or shine. I'm thankful for the North Atlantic Ocean as seen in one of its many moods in this clip of my local beach.\nBoy Meets Ice Pond\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nErica Swallow: I'm thankful that even as we grow up, my friends and I are still amused by the little things in life. This is my friend, Nick, entertaining himself (and me) by an ice pond. \"I found a big rock we can throw at it.\" Priceless.\nThe Best of Bruce Campbell, Part 1 (Warning: A Bit Bloody)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrett Petersel: I'm thankful for the existence of the one and only Bruce Campbell, one of the greatest actors of ALL TIME (Take that, Kanye!). When I was younger I wanted to become a horror film actor because I had been (and still am) a fan of his films, which include The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, among others.  Some years later I became a K-12 schoolteacher, but my dreams of fighting the living dead and spilling blood (on film) have never gone away. This video captures some of the best scenes from Bruce Campbell's films. Groovy! \n\nBuffy the Vampire Slayer, \"Rest in Peace\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrenna Ehrlich: I'm thankful for the weird, weird Ehrlich family (now including Douglas Riggs) who has made watching Buffy: The Musical a Thanksgiving tradition. See y'all at my sister's haunted farm house!\nLive Video as Patriots Win Super Bowl XXXVIII\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Ostrow: I am thankful for the Patriots playing on Thanksgiving this year.  Here's video of them winning their first Super Bowl, for which I thank the tuck rule.\nPlanes, Trains &amp; Automobiles\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrian Dresher: There are many classic Christmas movies, but it's the rare comedic gem of a Thanksgiving classic that I enjoy at this time of year! Here's the trailer for John Hughes' '80s flick, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!\nFrank Sinatra, \"New York, New York\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJosh Catone: Because I have to provide a counterpoint to all this nauseating New England sports love... I'm thankful for the New York Yankees and all 27 of their World Championships.  There's no video from the first one (1923) and going through all of them would take too long, so here's Ol' Blue Eyes singing \"New York, New York,\" instead. \nJay-Z, Alicia Keys, \"Empire State of Mind\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrenna Ehrlich: And while we're on the subject of New York, I have to say I'm thankful for how much Mashable has grown this past year. Matt Silverman and I started around this time last year, and our staff has blown up since then. We also have a real-life office now (follow us on our Tumblr, Mashable HQ), so I'm thankful for the chance to change out of my pajamas every day to go to work. \nImage courtesy of iStockphoto, kcline"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
