It's not my favorite holiday. It's a pathetic excuse for a holiday. I only really enjoy the day because it's a national day off and so I get to spend time with my loved ones and bake green bean casserole.
It's a holiday that is just there. Mostly it is obnoxious. To deal with turkey corpses and all the fuss about this crappy holiday. I don't even like the premise of this day. Why kill all these turkey's so we can celebrate being thankful for having food and complain about stuffing ourselves after over-indulging??! Seems barbaric and pathetic. Taking a turkey's life so humans can enjoy feasting over them in the name of giving thanks.
The holiday just seems like a lost cause on me.
Have we come that far that we need a national holiday to remind us that we should spend more time with family and being thankful for the daily bread? And why be forced to spend time with obnoxious family members that you would not give a hoot about otherwise?
The Native Americans probably were not the least bit thankful that their land got swiped from underneath them by some greedy Europeans that traded it for junk and diseases. The Natives were better off before Thanksgiving and so would we.

bah humbug to you...wow...I should put up a follow-up post in response to this. Maybe next year I'll invite you over to our celebration and you'll see why I feel the way I feel. BTW, Thanksgiving is my 2nd most favorite holiday.
Although, I'm well aware that you are not alone in thinking like this.
Well, thank you for that :)
Thanksgiving is definitely different at your house than mine. And I can certainly appreciate that. I might take you on that invite. Hey, you invited me this year! But instead I ended up at my sisters, eating some mediocre food at best. Good Times!
