Shit that you overheard during Thanksgiving (2021)

There's a lot of Jews and Asians near where I live (affluent area) and one of the stores we looked in for wafers had an abnormally large number of Asians. Since my gma is a legitimate boomer, she goes "there's a lot of Chinamen here" and I laughed my fucking ass off. Double because she didn't know what I found so funny about that. Hanging out with my boomer, country as fuck grandmother is what I'm most thankful for this year. I've had a blast with her and it's been taking me out of my funks. You never know how much you really appreciate someone until you spend time with them. Happy Thanksgiving Amerikiwis and non=Amerikiwis. Enjoy your time with people you love.
 
Made about 30 deviled eggs for my family, hopefully the new cat my aunt bought doesn't scratch me to hell and back , I'll hang out for a few hours and then come back home to play some vidya then sleep. Now's the time of year for me to grateful that most of my family aren't lolcows and/or complete degenerates. Happy Thanksgiving kiwis, and for others...Happy Thursday.
 
What is your favorite Thanksgiving meal? I know you all eat turkey but what about the side dishes? Which one is the best?
I'm a rather plain person, so mashed potatoes and turkey gravy are always my favorite. Close runners up are sweet potatoes and stuffing, though!

I'm at our family's traditional gathering place for Thanksgiving Day, and it's set to be a good one this year. The spices on the turkey came from the garden outdoors, we managed to find the mushrooms for stuffing in the stores this year, and there are two different kinds of pie for dessert. I don't even have any screwball relatives to speak of- I'm the only right-winger in the family, and I'm more set on keeping things cozy than sperging the fuck out about Youngkin or OSHA or whatever.
 
dutchmen don't know how delicious it is to pour gravy down your facehole while Uncle Ted talks about politics and jesus and the nazis
some cousin showed up in a sweatshirt announcing pronouns: she/they.
ain't no relief.

so everybody started, "Hey she-they, how was your drive here? how far was it & how bad was the traffic?"
"Hey she-they, did you bring that sweet potato casserole?"
"She-they, did you see any of those Braves games? Awesome shit!" ... and after being called she-they another dozen times, she-they took off the sweartshirt where there was a plain black t-shirt underneath.

if she-they'd complained, it would be "But we called she-they what they wanted to be called, didn't we? WHAT is the fucking problem?"

you see why i still love the South? its the STYLE. 8)
 
Took my dog for a walk as my mom cooks and my dad yells at the TV. Gonna go grab the Christmas decorations from the basement for her and help rearrange furniture for her so she can set up for Christmas after we eat. Pretty good year for me and a cozy Thanksgiving so far. Hope everyone has a good one as well.
 
Sis just sent this in my fam chat, I'm pretty sure it's a shitpost

Called my Aunt and Uncle to say hello and heard a bunch of extended family members loudly fighting in the background due to someone being allergic to one of the ingredients and accusing another person of trying to kill them because the other person forgot. It was cranberries. They probably could have just skipped the dish and ate some of the stuffing instead.

How is your Thanksgiving going?
 
My partner's father just said that "the US gov't should regulate the Internet," and when pressed, it's because people say mean things on Twitter. He then went on to further elaborate that he didn't mean "the Internet," but rather just social media sites.

I'm drinking heavily already at 1PM to cope, pray for me.
