A happy story for a change.

And it does have a point . . . too bad everyone can't be like this:

We’re certainly thankful for this hilarious holiday story.

An accidental text about Thanksgiving plans that turned into an actual invite has gone viral — receiving over 180,000 re-tweets and 300,000 likes on Twitter.
