Worst holiday ever.

Bad food, forced socialization with crazy family members. Keep it.

You an arbor day fan? Tree huggin' hippie.

It's the best holiday ever. Great food & football. You can come to my family party. They make fun of me a lot.

There is something wrong with you. You hate Thanksgiving and bacon.

The family thing does create issues. I have now shunned the larger family get together for a third year running, but mine is a little different. I am not anti the crazy people, just the formal T day really sucks! and I don't want to offend the queen hostess by telling her I would rather lay on a couch watching football, than getting into a suit and going to a formal cocktail reception with 100 new people every year at 6 on the nose, then getting a place card and waiting until 7 PM for the buffet line.

My unwillingness to participate has grown into a small fragment of the family, going to be 8 this year and the sense that we dont like the others is now being tossed out for discussion.

So even without being somewhere, the family tension has risen.

Fuck it, I am having a drink!

That does not sound like a fun holiday whatsoever.

That is Christmas day. My aunt and uncle's 100 closest neighbors, business associates, and family. Family no longer attends. Might be worse now as it's an in law day for me.

Not me. My parents are awesome.

But my wife's family comes to our house for Thanksgiving.

Luckily they are cool as well.

I honestly did not marry the family. Thank god. Them "people" are crazy.


Spaulding - if you think Thanksgiving is great for the food and the football, hold on to your seat. I've got this new holiday coming up called New Year's Day! It;s even better - it's actually food people like instead of a bird people eat once a year (because it sucks) and some jelly-based pink thing in a can.

I'm usually hung over and a majority of the time in Ohio. Not a good day. Not a fan of college football either.

Turkey is awesome and you need to make cranberry sauce. We have a lot of fun with other pink jelly based stuff in our house, it's non toxic and for year round use, but not really edible.
