Jennifer Aniston's husband gave her the best Thanksgiving surprise this year

In case you were wondering, yes, Jennifer Aniston's life is just like a rom-com.

The actress stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about tabloids, the expectations of motherhood and to play charades. But while on the famous couch, Aniston also shared a sweet story about her husband, actor Justin Theroux, and the delightful Thanksgiving surprise from him this year.

"We had just been together the week prior and I was going to London to do some work," she explained.

Being the sneaky husband he is, Theroux told Aniston his schedule was completely booked for the holiday week, therefore breaking tradition of having dinner with friends the night before Thanksgiving.

"We call it 'Fakesgiving' or 'Friendsgiving.' It's for all the orphans and people who don't have places to go," she said.

Aniston described the somber mood of the Theroux-less dinner party, and detailed her surprise when he came to the dinner table holding the turkey.

"Next thing you know," she said, "turkey walks in and there was another turkey holding that turkey—and that was my hubby."

Thank goodness he didn't put the turkey on his head, à la Monica.
