i wish we could swap thanksgiving for christmas. it may just seem greener on the other side but it appears to be a time of genuine festivity and not so commercialised. am i right?
the whole christmas thing really wears me down, it is the biggest load of shit ever, if i ever have a family we will not be celebrating christmas that's for sure
This year thanksgiving doesn't even get a mention as it is late in the month, so less shopping days till christmas and the retailers need bodies in the stores. So one would not actually know it is thanksgiving from everything one sees. It's all about christmas and has been for at least a week.
It's nice thanksgiving gets left out of all the stupidity. It's just about getting together with family, eating a lot, and depending on how well the family gets along either fight or have fun. We always have 2 football games on.. they probably do 4 these days. It's a treat for anyone from across the pond to experience. If you have american friends and ever fancy a fall time visit, it's a cool holiday. It's my favorite.
There's a smell of roasting turkey in the air in our house. The 18 pound bird has been in the oven for at least 6 hours now. We are bringing that to the lodge in town. They have a dinner every year for the poor, lonely, or neither (anybody). They get like 30-50 turkeys and other stuff for the folks to eat. We always say we'll head over for food sometime, but never do. We will have 11 or 12 dishes in our meal. Lots of calories.
Mom and Dad are coming up. And my ex-prisoner buddy is coming over as well with his friend. It's obviously baby's first thanksgiving so that will be fun, I hope. Funny that the turkey we are cooking right now weighs more than her. Much more to eat on a turkey anyways.
Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving/ Last day of the cannibis cup/ Thursday.
