Why do people need a specific day to be thankful, nice, giving, loving or any other manufactured emotion? Should we not just be like this all the time? And honestly, on a normal basis would I choose to be crowded in with my family yelling over one another, horking down crap and drinking too much ... although the drinking too much I can deal with. No, I would not pick this uncomfortable, forced version of home life over, let's say a Netflix binge, wine and my couch.
This year while I am strong armed into the yearly play, act one, at least I will be doing something I want to do in the afternoon; serving lunch at a senior center with my husband.
Well, anyhoo, happy hols, gobble gobble and don't choke on a turkey bone because I really think that 911 is slower to respond on holidays.
