Thanksgiving...

[Edaarin]

I can't wait to go home. If I have to spend another week eating delivery, instant noodles, or cereal, I'm going to die.

Anyway, discuss all things Thanksgiving here.

Last year, between my mom and my sister's mother-in-law, they made so much food we never got around to the turkey.

It's without a doubt my most favorite holiday of the year.

Last year I got snowed in, watched 14 hours of Saturday Night Live and got entirely too blasted. Any consolation, I ate a turkey sandwich.

Love you Jolena!

[Miss X]

I heart Thanksgiving. It's all the fun of Christmas without having to stress about giving presents or pretending to like ugly sweaters and earrings received.

Nah we eat a HUGE dinner, most people get smashed, spend hours getting fat at grandma's house before going home and crashing.

And don't forget about football.

I was trying. Thanks.



BTW. <3 food.

[DaMaGe]

You don't like football?

How very un-American of you.


-Adam

Hes a virgin after all.

[GSLeloo]

We don't watch Football. We all hate it except my dad. We watch like sci-fi movies or something.

[DaMaGe]

He's a virgin?

How very un-American of him.

Thanksgiving is one of the few holidays that aren't totally commercialized. I love it all! Except the football.

[JustMe]

I don't like Thanksgiving too much. I get stuck around a bunch of people I don't like so I have to be fake and be nice. What a fucking joy.

Edited to add: This year I'll probably be drunk, let's just hope none of them piss me off while drunk. :bouncy:

What's the point in that?

Tell them to fuck off. If they don't like it, oh well.

[JustMe]

Because they are "family" and unfortunately I was always taught to be nice to them regardless if I liked them or not.

[Hips]

I hate turkey. And apple pie.

Anyway... every Thanksgiving my family has 20+ relatives over, which means that I get chained to a chair in the living room and have to be wonderfully nice and polite to everyone, or my mother beats me with a turkey baster.

This year will hopefully be more enjoyable because my ex-boyfriend and his twin are coming over to celebrate with us. Their mom kicked them out of the house a couple years ago and moved an hour away to live by herself, so... they live in a little tiny apartment in a crappy section of town and don't eat like they should.

[DaMaGe]

I guess it's easier for me, because I'm an outsider even in my own family. If I don't like the way things are going down, I split. No one so much as bats an eyelash.

My brother (who I only get to see occasionally, because he lives in St. Louis and I live in VA) and his wife are coming over for Thanksgiving. Since they are the r0x0r, I can't wait.

[Halfsilver]

Tuesday is turkey day at my office. Company gives out 17 pound turkey to any Employee who comes in.

woo!

Thanksgiving, hmmmm...I'm cooking is all I know. My friends are coming over and my best friend is coming back up from Philly so I'm gonna stuff her up at my house and then go to her family's house and spend some time with them.

[GSLeloo]

I love turkey.. I eat probably.. 49 ounces of turkey a week. Every single week. It's actually pretty good for you. Turkey breast, that is.

[Hulkein]

What's with all you homos disliking the football part? LOL, it's one of the best parts about Thanksgiving.... Well, for guys at least.

I love getting together with my family, stuffing my face and getting drunk. Since my mom has 13 brothers and sisters, we have two Thanksgivings, one on Friday with most of my dads family, and then Friday with my mom's family. Good times.

[Weedmage Princess]

No presents on Thanksgiving, Miss X. It's a food and family holiday..always with turkey.

I'll probably be working on Thanksgiving...only a 4 hour day though (hopefully early) so afterwards I'll be heading to the in laws. I'm also cooking myself cause I love Thanksgiving leftovers..heh.

[Betheny]

I don't celebrate holidays. I work them, for double time. :D

As I told it last year, we don't celebrate it here, although it's a payed holiday.

Sometimes it's better to not ask too many questions, hehe

Hell yeah!

I was just talking about that this afternoon with my sister.

No stress about who got what, did I forget someone? Hurt feelings or any of that crappola.

Chica, those that said its probably the best holiday are right on target and that goes for anyone not US residents to experience. Sure there are some families that just suck and are sucky to be around for long periods of time but mostly people are happy for thanksgiving.

We gorge ourselves on fantastic food that varies from ethnicity to ethnicity but traditionally will be centered around a turkey. For example I just went shopping with my mom for thanksgiving groceries. Final bill= $260.17 We will be having a 23 lb turkey, a baked ham and a separate turkey breast as the entrees with homeade mashed potatos, stuffing, asparagus, green beens, sweet potatos, cranberry sauce, three different kinds of dinner rolls, a salad and I think thats about it . Then for desert we will have apple pie, pumpkin pie, whipped creme cake(this....just kicks ass), chocolate chip cookies, fresh whipped creme to top the pies and whatever else the 20 some guests will bring.

Its truly the feast of the year for us.

Also traditionaly there are two? football games( although for some it is other movies or games) at least on to watch on tv before and after the feasting and or nap while your body attempts to adjust to the extra pounds of food you have stuffed within you.

Yeah its alot of work to prep and clean up, but for me, no doubt, the best and happiest holiday of the year.:thumbsup:
