Shit that you overheard during Thanksgiving (2021)

[Sabrina]

Food was all great. Turkey was smoked on the grill and stuffing was made with sausage.

My kid ran up from the basement saying I WANT TO GO HOME RIGHT NOW no I said what's going on, she said "Cousin won't do what I tell her." I said Cousin doesn't have to do what you tell her. She changed her mind, went back downstairs and Cousin's dad went to ask what was wrong and was informed SHE'S RUINING EVERYTHING. Hours later they're still getting along fine but becoming tired-hyper.

The main bathroom was locked for 3-5 hours and it turned out a dog was in it.

A++

 

[nothing and no one]

Nieces and nephews wanted me to play Minecraft with them, was so nice to get that quality time now that they're growing up. No politics amongst the adults, either, just enjoying each other's company.

The day just before this Thanksgiving, I went to my mother's house for a family reunion. We were supposed to go to a family friend's house that night for the festivities. I ask if it was a party we were going to, but my mom says it's not, it's just a celebration. We ended up not going anywhere that night because one of my aunts was tired, and nobody had the heart to go anywhere in particular without her.

So today, we go to that friend's house, and apparently not only was there a party that happened that night, but mom was supposed to cook for it. The situation was salvaged however, since we got some meals from the family friends, who certainly knew how to cook for themselves.

There were no politics at my Dad's Thanksgiving lunch. It was really nice

Went over to my brother's place. He was hosting an eclectic gathering of family from all sides plus the neighbors and Some Random Guy who showed up a few hours late but brought wine so it was OK. Booze flowed freely amidst ear-piercing shrieks of 4-year-olds. I know for a fact my brother and his neighbors are pablum-puking pinko commie liberals, but no politics was discussed at all (not even a discussion of how it wasn't to be discussed).
Apparently there is a nudist in my brother's neighborhood. He was invited but politely declined. This was the closest we got to anything interesting happening.
We all ate too much, drank too much, and had a good time. 10/10, would Thanksgiving again.

Of course I catch the flu (not COVID, my brother got tested) that's been going around the family for the past week only on the day of Thanksgiving, FML.

my nephew started listening to trueanon so i finally get to have serious discussions with someone else about how bush did 9/11. life is good!

For resortfags, the best move is to go to the concierge and ask them what restaurant they like to eat at off property. You will get some really good and probably not absurdly expensive food.

Food was all great. Turkey was smoked on the grill and stuffing was made with sausage.

Would you please share the recipe? That shit sounds amazing and I would loveto try it with my family's homemade German sausage.

 

[chickenbutt]

I got stoned with my MIL, and ate a bunch of her homemade cranberry bread. It was fucking great, happy Turkey day kiwis even the grumpy ones

Every Thanksgiving I’m always amazed at how much bitching I see online from Americans about having to spend one or two days with their family and how horrible it is to go back to their hometown, I find it really weird and depressing. And this isn’t new, it was pre-coof, pre-Trump and even pre-Obama. Just isn’t really like that where I live, maybe because people don’t tend to move that far away from family. Idk but it sure makes for funny stories.

 

[The Amazing Autismist]

My family is fucking dead.

So pretty okay, I guess.

 

[lady stoneheart]

my little brother unironically said “based” out loud multiple times in conversation with our extended family, 90% of whom are able to order off the senior menu at Denny’s

 

[ForgedBlades]

>have coof
>wasn't able to go home
>watched TCAP clips in bed all day
>taste and smell completely gone, only thing I've eaten today is a roast beef sandwich which might as well have been a Styrofoam plate for all I know

Best Thanksgiving since that year I was so hung over that I literally couldn't get out of bed. Literally. The one time I tried I puked even harder than I did the night before when I ruined the pleather in my dad's new truck. Sickest I have ever been in my entire life.

Just finished cooking and gave my rabbits an extra treat too. House smells great. I don't spend with the holidays with family but I talk on the phone/text with them when the time comes around. My mom got stoned and swooned about Joe Rogan on the phone, she has a crush on him idk what to make of that.
Happy Thanksgiving Kiwis

I'm not even American but I logged on to my one game to read this long ass bitchpost in our chat:

"Wanted to let people know that Thanksgiving is the celebration of genocide and colonization of my people. Its a day of mourning for most aboriginal people and I ask the group to be considerate and not post Happy Thanksgiving as I know it is in America today. Consider not celebrating or at least not posting for aboriginals everywhere. Thanks in advance."

Like lol faggot. Happy Thanksgiving America! Happy Thanksgiving Kiwis! Celebrate extra hard for all those shaking and crying Aboriginals who get triggered at you eating a turkey and spending time with family!

 

[Cripple]

Ugh... reminds me of my brother-in-law. The catered food will likely not be better (probably bland, for one thing), plus if they're anything like my in-laws, 50/50 chance it'll be skimpy portions and not "really" enough food. (I'm used to holidays where we make "enough food for an army".)

Eh it wasn't too bad. Not better than homemade but at least the turkey wasn't dry or anything. Kind of weirded out the beef gravy had a buttery taste.

And I swear to god there was a man(?) there that looked like a slightly smaller version of JULIANA. I kept doing a double-take.
