Thanksgiving is always the time I’m with my daughter. Mostly it’s that. But I also love that there’s no nonsense with gifts and assorted other Christmas dram. Thanksgiving for me is just family, food and relaxation. It’s the absolute best.
We used to do the Black Friday thing and we have some great memories of our adventures. And spare me your pious opinions about Black Friday. We maybe saw a few unpleasant human interactions, but mostly not. And we certainly never felt any need to be anything other than civil ourselves. It wasn’t about the deals; it was about being together in line, talking in the car, going out to breakfast. Interacting pleasantly with strangers.
I used to love Thanksgiving. Then I had kids. I put in all the work to make all the stuff, and they eat cranberry sauce and maybe some turkey. It’s just been a disappointment the last few years where I feel overworked and unappreciated.
I love to have our family and their partners and cook together, play games and just spend time together. I like watching all of the great TV from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade to the football games. I love passing around the sale ads but not leaving to go shopping until Friday. Then having wonderful leftovers and naps.
Fond memories of family (most no longer around) and home cooking [burp].
Family and food. Can you guess my answer?
My excitement for November is in an entirely different direction.
Thanksgiving is the holiday that you can literally tell people to “GET STUFFED “

No, have to drive 7 hours in the snow to watch my mom eat a baked potato with her hands cuz she can’t cut it and nobody else would do it correctly
I once liked Thanksgiving, now I just work the day and enjoy seeing others happy
My Thanksgiving was a few weeks ago. Still not sure what will happen this year.
Food. I fucking love turkey and stuffing (homemade). Plus you can eat multiple desserts guilt free.

It just means cold weather.
Thanksgiving is when I stock up on heavily discounted turkey at the grocery store the next day, it has no other significance to me.
