My buddy that is in the guard is coming home from Kuwait on leave for Thanksgiving so we are having a huge get together. (I think there will be 15+ people there)
Druken melee!

Our tradition is to have the stereotypical turkey dinner with all the fixings, which my wife & I enjoy making. (She does the turkey & stuffing, I do the pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and other sides.) However it's been an exceptionally stressful fall, so I'm going to try to encourage her to skip in this year in favor of everybody vegging out for a couple days. (Since she's quitting her job---last day tomorrow---she won't have to work on Black Friday for the first time in five years.)
Oh and Black Friday is her birthday. But we're not going anywhere (we have Philadelphia Orchestra tickets) unless we can find a #$&(*&*( babysitter. |

Rho and I are going to chill at the crib and have a nice meal, featuring Sycamore's soon-to-be-famous-though-I-stole-the-recipe sweet potato pie.

This year's gonna be kind of nice. Just me, Case, my son and my brother (the one that doesn't have a girlfriend that annoys the piss out of me). We're gonna have a nontraditional dinner: a nice thick beef stew, homemade bread and pumpkin pie. Maybe some cranberry sauce. But not likely. Then we'll get drunk and play video games.

my butthead of a brother insisted t-giving at my house in columbus instead of mom's in virginia. so now my butthead brother, listening to various lies and evil statements from his poison wife, is not even coming, so now we're all screwed.
meanwhile, i'll be giving thanks that his b*tch of a wife isn't coming to MY house. do i sound bitter? I am.

We are going to drive 2.5 hours to my inlaws' place at the lake on T-Day AM, scarf furiously, then drive back home that night (if we can get away with it).
The wife's family is extremely Christian, and we are only extremely hungry. Not a good enough reason for an overnight stay in the face of such terrific religious conviction.

I'll be at the nuthouse.
Working 4-midnight (my regular shift.) I have a theory (perhaps previously expounded on) about Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a holiday, that more than any other, brings together families that don't really like each other nor do they get along particularly well. Earlier in the day, however, there is a lot to be done. Turkeys to be basted, pies to be baked, tables to be set. Everyone is busy, and the tensions don't really start to leak out. Once the bird hits the table, all hell breaks loose. I think the electric carving knives have some impact on this effect. If if weren't for the fact that I will be working until midnight the day before thanksgiving, I would usually prefer taking the day shift, but waking up at 6am is SOOOOO not an option. Not even for time and a half, and a holiday day to be taken at a later time.

That's up in the air for me. Dad and spare mom will be visiting her mother; nice ladies, both. So, I will ask one of my brothers or sister if I can hang around for the day and eat til I'm tired.

Going home.
It'll be like being with Wolf, but without Wolf.
