I luckily do not have to travel to a different city or state to visit people who I only see once a year, many for good reason.

This year dinner is at a cool aunt/uncles house but I will still get to interact with the rest of my extended family. These include the following:

- 8 cousins who all went to the same university. I did not attend thisuniversity because the town is a desert shithole.
- Aunt/Uncle that attended Glen Beck Rallies
- Aunt/Uncle that are active preppers and really believe the ~*race war*~ is coming soon.
- Uncle who asks each year when I am going to buy a house here in southern California. Eat poo poo.
- Uncle who only talks economy and politics.
- Multiple family members who STILL support Trump because BROWN PEOPLE.
- Family who will literally only go to Hawaii and not Mexico or other tropical destinations because its "too dangerous" (lack of white people)

Also, people that like green bean casserole should be stoned to death.

Yikes Chinatown you should not go to Thanksgiving. Just drink alone in front of your computer and post about how bad Trump is on the forums

I've got 3 generations of cousins coming who are all weird eaters. 'Oh we don't eat onions, we don't eat nuts, the doctor says I can't eat green vegetables, the kids drink 2 gallons of milk every day so stock up, etc etc'
They're very helpful and sweet and cool, otherwise.
Well, one of the dudes is a gamergate/race-war type, but is easily distracted.

And of course I'm going to be there, and I'm just astonishingly dull.

Will spend Thanksgiving with the wife's family, which used to be pretty huge but is now kinda small because the old people died off and all of the adult children have pets instead of kids.

Planning on eating half a pot brownie beforehand and wrecking myself on turkey and carbs. Thanksgiving rules!

I love my family and am excited about the prospect of spending time with them.
The turkey tends to be too dry, unfortunately. I always thought turkey just tasted bad when I was a kid, until I went somewhere else one year and realized “Oh wait, it just my family that’s bad at cooking it.” This year they’re making both oven and smoked, so maybe it will be good. The fried turkey we had one year was good.

i make the turkey every year and i pwn it by butchering the carcass and makking a roast out of the breast halves tied up in the skin from the breast and i roast it for a shorter period of time than the legs. i make turkey my BITCH

I live in the desert wasteland of Lancaster, California so my family is a bunch of hyper conservative weirdos who are way too into Fox News and making uncomfortable racially charged remarks. I'll probably spend most of Thanksgiving drinking to ease the suffering. I'd go to a friend's house after dinner, but we're celebrating my mom and my aunt's birthday as well. Bummer.

Oh well, at least the food will be good.

I'm gonna spend 2 hours with my dad's side of the family as a token gesture then go to work

Feb 10, 2007

this year my thanksgiving will have:
  • my uncle from my dad's side of the family
  • that uncle's son-in-law and his grandson. his daughter (my cousin) is undergoing surgery and won't be joining
  • possibly my neighbor who lives on the same floor as my parents
  • possibly my friend who works at the UN and has no place to go on thanksgiving (she may have too much work to do)
  • a different cousin, his girlfriend, and his two sons. one of them got into University of Pittsburgh and the other one is doing well at WVU and wants to get into politics, and i'm going to try and steer him in the right direction. they'll all be gone by the time we start dinner, though
i've never had a problem with right-wing relatives at thanksgiving, thank god

I'll be spending thanksgiving with my SIL's family of four daughters who are raging bitches (only to each other thank god). Her whole drat family always has to be the center of attention though and it infuriates me.

Also I love scalloped oysters and my wife's aunt used to bring scalloped oysters but somebody pissed her off a couple years ago and now I don't get scalloped oysters anymore. loving bullshit.

AND it's in the middle of poo poo heap Iowa and there's no phone service so I can't even complain to you dinks.

If you can't survive 12 hours of the most important people in your world exhibiting different politics than your own, please dunk your head in the toilet, because sadly I will be too busy at thanksgiving to give you the swirly you deserve

Thanksgiving was off because of a recent death in the family, but now it’s back on because my dipshit brother got a turkey from work.

Carisoprodol & Crown cocktails to the rescue yet again.

time for all the vegetable sides to be completely uneaten while the cheesy potato goop is gone instantly because everyone in your family is a fat gently caress

thanksgiving should just be a time for families to gather and stuff themselves with cheesy potato goop

Hatred for extended family members aside, I'm extremely jealous at Americans for having Thanksgiving. I'll have to wait until Christmas before I can eat until I'm crying from pain on some rear end in a top hat uncle's dime.
