Oh, Thanksgiving, you will never cease to bring out the ugliest side of me/ all of us. I'm still recovering from dinner. I swear, I really don't understand what gives my relatives the right to treat each other like complete shit. Everyone is so eager to point out all the fucked-up shit about other people as to avoid themselves being targeted. And

you should refuse to celebrate. here are some reasons:

1. It's more likely that the pilgrims had lobster on thanksgiving than turkey given the relative abundance at that time. The betrayal of proper food choice, regardless whether you choose to eat it or not, reflects a lackluster attempt at a traditional thanksgiving dinner, hardly something with which one would want to associate themselves.

2. The pilgrims were dicks to the Native Americans. There is hardly a reason to celebrate the one day pilgrims and Native Americans got along given the other couple hundred years of bloodshed and broken promises.

3. Very few people actually give thanks on thanksgiving.

4. If there were no Thanksgiving to mark the beginning of Christmas Carols, in my opinion they would not start playing everywhere until later in the year, or possibly not at all. That would be something for which to give thanks, possibly resulting in another holiday to celebrate the absence of x-mas carols. (possibly excepting those of sufjan stevens. I have yet to investigate.)

5. Unnecessary occasion to don uncomfortable dress clothes. Seriously, whats the point? Everyone hates dress clothes.

Join my boycott! Columbia already doesn't celebrate Columbus Day, Thanksgiving is next on the list!

I'll be sure to forward this to all of my relatives, especially my grandma :) Um, my cell should hopefully be fixed soon. I'm just pissed because this is the second phone that has broken in the past year and a half. I want the company to suffer a bit, too. And as for the summer, I have no idea yet. Ideas? I can barely figure out where I'm gonna be over winter break...

i had this conversation with the boy my older sister brought to tahnksgiving with us- who dresses up? my family has never, ever dressed up for thanksgiving. pjs are perfectly acceptable attire. We hang out with friends, cook and eat. These are not dress clothes activities.

thats very impressive. i suggested to my mom that we don't dress up next year. It seems like a much more pleasant way to do things. less of the "Oh No! Family!" stigma, and more like friends.
