I love Thanksgiving. It is the ultimate holiday for everyone – it’s never on a Friday or weekend to interfere with Christians, Jews, Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, or Muslims. We can all eat – or not eat – the turkey and watch football.
Or course, with the togetherness, it really shows which relationships are going to sink, swim, or mire themselves deeper in dysfunction. The ER becomes the best show in town as families demonstrate their willingness to fight to the death over the right to cut the turkey or get that last drumstick.
(Word to the wise – never argue with the person cutting the turkey . . . you’ve been warned.)
It’s not all bad – the good usually doesn’t call 911 and get a visit from Cleveland Fire with a nice ride to the ER.
