Los Angeles, Dec 1 (AZINS) Actress Jennifer Aniston has revealed her Thanksgiving surprise from her husband Justin Theroux.

She told Ellen DeGeneres during the host's show that she thought they'd be spending the holiday apart, but she turned out to be wrong, reports usmagazine.com.

"My husband who has been away for almost a year, it feels, surprised me on Thanksgiving and came home from Germany," she said.

Aniston told the host how her husband made her believe he was too busy to return for Turkey Day, and that he'd miss their tradition of throwing a "Friendsgiving" the night before.

"Everyone came to the house and no one really understood Justin was not going to be there."

The 47-year-old comically described her guests as "depressed" and the mood as "somber".

"I gave the toast at the head of the dinner table, which is usually me and Justin. I gave, I guess, a very unimpressive toast where people were like "meh, great. Let's eat,'" she said.

"Then salads came out and everyone was just very somber and next thing you know, turkey walks in and there was another turkey holding that turkey. That was my hubby. He came in with the turkey."
