Drew Barrymore offered some guidance to anyone expecting to spend Thanksgiving alone, sharing her thoughts in a TikTok video, Film-news.co.uk reported.

The actor said she has spent many of her past Thanksgiving holidays solo and eventually learned two things: being by herself didn’t make her feel lonely, and she genuinely enjoyed the quiet. «A moment to myself,» she said.

Barrymore added that she has also celebrated Friendsgiving — a gathering where people who can’t make it home for the holiday share a meal with friends.

Later in the video, she encouraged viewers to pick out a new book and read it «from front to back» as a way to spend the day.
