I got sick. It was the worst Thanksgiving ever. |

Venomouslobster had to work on Thanksgiving, so I spent most of the day at a golf course reading a book... we then went to his grandparents house, ate a quick meal, got loaded up with the leftovers and drove back to his house to put them away. Brocoli au gratin is SO good. And pumpkin ale.
Yesterday, we took some of the leftover sweet potatoes and made pancakes which turned out delicious! |

Mostly what I'm ashamed of is people mocking the holiday and what it should mean.
I don't go around mocking Quanza, Hahnica (however it's spelled, I don't know) Christmas, 4th of july, easter, or whatever holidays people have in their own countries. I just don't like mocking things that people could find offensive to do so. Respect is something very important to me, and though I don't always show it, some things are more sensitive to some people than others, and I try to avoid saying things to put down things of any sort. Criticism and disrespect are somewhat different if you ask me, and I took that as mostly just disrespect for the holiday. Perception is 90% of reality I suppose, and that's just how I took it. Especially since I opened this thread hoping to see happy people. Not people wanting to scorn and make fun of a holiday. I apologize for having snapped, I guess I've had a bit of a rough week, but I still stand next to my statements. SO. Back to the topic, does anyone have any GOOD or FUNNY stories to share? I was shot in the face by a bottle of cider, oddly enough. Left a little cut on my cheek which I noticed later, but I was just walking carrying the bottle, and POW. I was kinda surprised. I couldn't stop laughing though 
That, and of the large box of Cider we bought, one of the bottles, Unopened even now, it only has like, maybe one ounce of liquid in it. Very odd, and kind of amusing, with the exception of the fact it's somewhat costly. Though it's interesting looking. |

Seriously, (and I never thought I'd say this) chill.
So people don't get sentimental. Big deal. If you find happiness in holidays that others don't then more power to you, but to "be ashamed" of others for not getting excited about Thanksgiving? Come on now. Anyway, everyday should be a celebration of love, thankfulness and family. You shouldn't have to have a holiday to make you feel obligated to be grateful for what you have. |

Wow.
No offence, but you're an aweful hateful and pessimistic group here. In my own defence, Holidays are what you make them out to be. To me, and my family and way of life, thanksgiving is supposed to be a time to spend with those who you care about, having a good time, eating good food, and sharing in the warmth of eachother's presence and caring. My family has always gotten together and invited close family friends, have good times cooking just as much as eating, talking about things, and having a good time. Such as Randy. Randy is an old man who looks ageless. I've no idea how old he is, he looks ancient, but always has enough energy to get around and hasn't changed at all as long as I've known him. He always comes over to my family's place for holidays, and he was there with them this thanksgiving as well. Whilst unfortunately I was not at home this year, I was invited to one of my senior's places for the holiday, and had a very good time. Regardless of what the holiday started out as, that doesn't matter. Most holidays are not what they were really meant to be anyhow. To me, thanksgiving is a time to be thankful of what you've got, because it could be worse. You should spend it with people you care about, if that's your family, so be it, if it's your friends, than that's what it is. Due to situations, I've taken in several of my best friends for periods of hard times in their lives, and we spent it together, just as if they were part of my family, and now they fairly much are in most respects. I don't know what it is that makes you people feel obligated to visit people you don't like. If you don't like them, you shouldn't go. It's not about social agenda. At least it's not supposed to be. I don't know what havoc I'm causing here, But honestly, I'm ashamed of some of you. You should try to make the best of things at all times, especially times when you should be happy more than anything else. I might be biased here, but that's my own right to be so. People out there are losing the most important things to them every day. Some people lose someone close, just as my friend just did on thanksgiving day, and some people are going through hard times. I know for one, I'm very happy to have what I have, and I'm even happier to hear that one of my childhood friends growing up just came back from Iraq alive, and that my other best friend is still alive. That's what I was thankful for on thanksgiving. The fact I have friends out there that are more than friends, they've attained a level of family to me, and that means more to me than anything else in the world. Thanksgiving is a time to be happy. I was thankful for what I have. And I was thankful that someone brought me in for the holiday when I had nowhere to go up here at my new station. If you have nothing in your life to be thankful for, then either you're taking far too many things for granted, or you've lost everything including your own sense of self love. I'm sorry, but reading through some of these replys hit a very unpleasant cord with me. I'm not trying to bring everyone down. But I wanted to say what I had to say. I apologize to those who read through this and had nothing to do with what I have had to say. |

No family visit this year, just a big dinner that I'm eating again tonight. At least I usually see my cousin (and kick his ass in three video games of his choice), but not this year.

It's just another day of the year in which I can't go to school and have to stay home. |

I had my Thanksgiving in October.
It was okay. I <3 stuffing. |

It's an American tradition based on the supposed founding of a colony in Massachusetts in which a cult-like group of separating evangelists had their next year's harvest dinner after getting a lot of help from the Indians (Or Native Americans, whichever PC term you prefer). Of course, the very next year they'd put up a wall around their village and all outsiders were prohibited in this little Waco.
As tradition dictates we're supposed to be grateful for this founding (despite it not being of any grave importance than making way for the Puritans of the Bay Colony) among all of the other things in our lives and celebrate with a massive turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and other foods that they couldn't possibly have eaten at the first Thanksgiving because they weren't consumed or created yet. So pretty much, we all just use it as an excuse to guilt trip each other into being more thankful for the things we should, eat an ungodly amount of gravy, and spend time with people whom we probably can't stand. Oh and kindergarteners get to wear paper buckle hats. It's adorable. And that's what Thanksgiving means to me.  |

Thanksgiving .. um what is this all about  we don't get thanksgiving here

Tradition dictates overstuffing myself to a point where I can't have the pumpkin pie without a two hour break. I followed tradition, and made unbeatable cheese sauce for the spinach. |

Have fun celebrating your feast built upon the deaths of millions of native Americans.
You imperialstic fucks.

Thanksgiving is always a big family event at my house. And for the past couple years, a big booze day too. Lots and lots of food. I made the turkey. We lifted it out of the pan and the legs fell off it was sooo tender. mm mm mm. Turkey.
After I ate I passed out due to a full stomach. |

I'm sick on my third year straight of being sick on thanksgivings.
It is a tradition I suppose. |

This was pretty much all there was: http://viscus.livejournal.com/160845.html?view=310349#t310349
I have no opinion of Thanksgiving. It's an excuse people make to have an extravagant dinner and be together, be that a good thing or bad. The Pilgrims were a cult. But whatever... mashed potatoes! Spent my Thanksgiving with my boyfriend and his brother and father at the movies. |

Can't even make up their own morbid comments now, huh? |

I threw up repeatedly, coughed up blood, and I am happy to say that I'm just in pain right now. |
