I need to buy plane tickets in the next couple of days (really, I should've done it weeks ago), but I'm having trouble deciding whether or not to be in Jersey City for Thanksgiving or not. Logistically speaking it would be much simpler and less stressful to wait until afterwards because things here will be really hectic the couple of weeks before when I'd have to leave to get to
xannoside's before the pre-holiday rush; on the other hand, I really miss celebrating Thanksgiving American style and I've been looking forward to getting to celebrate it properly this year since the idea first came up in January. So.
