So this is Thanksgiving… and I’d say it’s a jolly good opportunity to revive the appreciation thread!
I must say, this has to be my favourite out of the holidays that are exclusive to America. It’s nice, the idea of having a holiday devoted to gathering with family and
overeatingerm, appreciating life’s blessings.
Thanksgiving has potential. Unfortunately that potential is often wasted on grumpy relatives who ignore you while they sit and watch football. Or sometimes, you are forced into awkward conversation with A) People you don’t know very well (in the case of in-laws), or B) People you do know and would prefer not to know.

Offline Thanksgiving is going to be bad this year because my older brother invited my sister and my mom’s older brother, neither of who I don’t get along with. Fortunately, I have options:
1. Go through the painful process of being with my family at the Thanksgiving table
2. Go to my friends house and have thanksgiving with all of my friends (most of my friends are having thanksgiving together)
3. My son’s doing his own thanksgiving at his house with his friends, so I can go there
4. I can go with my wife to her family’s Thanksgiving
5. I can go to HMBeatlesfan’s house and have Thanksgiving with him and his friends (I live next door to him and yes, he gave me permission to say this)
This is a big game of double edged swords and it reminds me of a certain song.

I don’t know what the hell you’re saying, but if you must know, my sister is the politically correct whiney bitch of the family.

I might’ve although I don’t remember using those words.

Offline Are you kidding me, imagine the s**t that would happen if I started arguing with my sister. It’d probably start with me stating a differing opinion and we’d start swearing at each other and I might call her a bitch or a c**t or whatever and then she’d hit me and it’d get messy (she has hit me before for saying s**t).

Offline I never knew you had a brother, is he older or younger. Me and my brother get along pretty well, although he likes pop music and doesn’t like hard rock/heavy metal and he takes Christianity so seriously to the point where he believes “if The Bible says so, it’s true and there’s no exceptions”, which is fine by me but can piss some other people off.

Offline I have an older brother who is a conservative and I’m a liberal. I’m actually more a radical. He doesn’t seem to care as much about social injustices as I do.

Offline Why not you come to my house for thanksgiving, sgtpepper63, it’ll be one hell of a time and don’t tell my mother, but we’re getting McDonalds and beer instead of a turkey.

What could being a hardcore Christian possibly involve that could piss someone off, as both of my parents are like your brother and they’re fine.

A lot of things. For example, my brother believes that killing a human is a sin, regardless of the circumstances and pissed off his coworkers when he said that he hopes the US doesn’t start a war after 9/11 and that it was wrong of the US to kill Osama Bin Laden and his family and on top of that, he’s also homophobic, which can piss off a lot of people.

That’s not my parents, they believes in killing men in self defense and my father is also a strong supporter of the death penalty. They’re both homophobic and believe in gender roles, though and my father really doesn’t like the idea of women in the military because according to him, that’s men work and killing girls is wrong.

Offline My brother believes in gender roles as well and is similar to your father (except he’s against killing). Anyways, let’s talk about thanksgiving, shall we. I like listening to Beatles music on thanksgiving, to me anything from Beatles 65′ to Revolver fits the mood best.

Offline No, Beatles 65′ to Revolver would be Beatles For Sale to Revolver in UK terms, as Beatles 65′ is essentially side A of Beatles For Sale with a couple of extra tracks thrown in there.

Haha, you have a point, ExTex. I suppose I was looking through my customary rose-tinted glasses at the whole thing, and certainly staying with my grandparents is always lovely. When it comes to the extended-family-gatherings, though, I usually end up in a corner with a guitar or drawing pad being anti-social. Being the only out-of-state folks in a fairly close-knit family can be a bit weird… and I still can’t keep track of all the great-aunts on my paternal grandmother’s side!
