thoughts on thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, the most genocidal of all holidays. My apologies to Native Americans, but this will actually not be a political post. I’m not afraid to say it: I love this holiday and I love turkey! I ate a turkey sandwich everyday for lunch for two years.

There’s nothing like Thanksgiving, although this year I’ll be house sitting in Colorado instead of sitting at my parents house in Texas. Luckily my parents love me enough to drive sixteen hours on Wednesday, cook a bomb dinner (thanks momma!), figure out why my jeep is doing that funny thing (thanks daddio!), and drive sixteen hours back to Texas on Saturday. (My brother lives here so they’re really getting a twofer.)

While I looooove T-day, I firmly don’t believe in Black Friday. I’m not a particular fan of shopping anyways, and I think the savings are just not worth the hassle of fighting the crowds. And am I the only who thinks it’s crazy that sales are starting on Thursday evening this year? This doesn’t bode well for the future of America : Soon stores and fast food restaurants will be open willy nilly all day Thursday, then before you know it school won’t be canceled either.

And who wants to live in that world?

However you spend your holiday, I hope it’s happy! (And that you don’t get trampled at Wal Mart.)
