"The One with All the Thanksgivings" also known as "The One with the Thanksgiving Flashbacks" is the eighth episode of the fifth season of Friends'. It first aired on the NBC network in the United States on November 19, 1998. In the episode, the main characters spend Thanksgiving at Monica's  apartment and begin telling stories about their worst Thanksgivings: Chandler (Matthew Perry) learning of his parent's divorce, Phoebe losing arms in past lives and Joey  having his head stuck in a turkey. Rachel  reveals Monica's worst Thanksgiving accidentally cutting off Chandler's toe after he called her "fat" in their first encounter. When Monica begs Chandler to forgive her, he accidentally reveals that he loves her.
The episode was directed by Kevin S. Bright and written by Gregory S. Malins. It guest stars Elliott Gould and Christina Pickles as Jack and Judy Geller, with a cameo appearance by Morgan Fairchild as Nora Tyler Bing. The idea was conceived by the writers, who suggested short stories about the "worst Thanksgivings ever". A flashback approach was incorporated as the producers realized the audience responded well to it, despite concern the episode might be confused for a clip show.
In its original broadcast the episode reached a 16.0 Nielsen rating and finished the week ranked second. The episode earned Debra McGuire a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Costume Design for a Series. Since airing, it frequently ranks high in polls about the series' best episode.
