    We were starting to dread it a few years ago. Everyone was dying off or divorcing (both, in one case) so it starts not to feel all that festive.
    Then we started taking vacations on Thanksgiving. Several years we stayed at a local resort (Phoenix) at cheap off season rates and just enjoyed the pool and exercise room.
    This year, the RV is packed and we'll be on the beach for Thanksgiving.

    It works for us.

    Because my family is completely insane.

    Yeah, yeah, everyone says their family is crazy, I get it. BUT try having a family function where you sit across from your father new girlfriend that is a 22 year old heroin addict (I'm 31 btw) and then you can get on my level.

    Is she hot, I mean, for a heroin addict?

    :devil:

    She looks like a heroin addict....

    The only thing I dread is the turkey! I love the holiday and seeing my family! But being faced with not one but two extremely dry birds is just not appealing in the least! I love the rest of the food though so I can deal! :)

    The only part I dread is that my nephew's baby-mama is going to be there.

    I'm glad I love my family and have a healthy relationship with food so I'm not miserable during this holiday.
    Me, too.

    I love Thanksgiving. And Christmas.

    I dread it because the turkey is overcooked and the rest of the food is undercooked.
    And everything is varying temperatures....

    Thankfully I like dark meat so my aunt can't kill that part too easily lol XD


    I also kind of dread Thanksgiving and Christmas this year because my grandfather passed away earlier this year and it's going to be really hard not having him around (even though he was obnoxious)

    my stomach doesn't have a large enough capacity for me to eat the amount of food that I want to eat, this makes me sad every year.

    I love Thanksgiving. Love seeing family I don't get to see much. Love the multitude and variety of food. Love being in a warm house, laughing and joking around with my sister and mom.

    I love the actual day and spending it with family. I dread days of leftovers.
