If this is the babylonbee thread, then, I will just say it.... I am not a fan of Thanksgiving.  I still do not get it.  It has been 14 years.  I am going to bake an awesome dessert, and be a nice guest.  Still 😐

 

(also, we celebrate about 3 miles from the Plymouth Rock. My feelings have not changed)

I think of it as Christmas without the hassle.

 

I am taking booze and flowers, not sure about the flowers but not going to argue.

 

12pm start with the Dog Show.

Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for all the things that have added positivity to your life over the past year. 😇

 

Or rather, it’s a time to enjoy a day off work, loading your dinner plate so full even your eyes don’t believe your stomach can take it, and dropping into a food coma while the cat and the dogs collaborate to counter-surf for the leftovers you were physically unwilling to send to the garbage disposal. 😈

That's because Canadian T'giving was a month ago or something, LS ma'am.

So you gather en masse... er, In Mass, huh LS ma'am?

You can kiss the Plymouth Rock for good luck... or is that the Blarney Stone?

As inspired by LS ma'am, this can be our Thanksgiving Report thread.

Report about your repast, your family's political arguments, your turkey coma, etc.

Southern Wife Arrested For Failing To Serve Drinks In Mason Jars

 

OXFORD, MS — The Thanksgiving week turned ugly for one local family, as a southern wife was arrested and booked on charges of failing to serve drinks in Mason jars to people visiting her home.

The unthinkable act allegedly occurred this afternoon at the home of David and Susan Jennings, where one member of a dinner party notified authorities that Susan had served beverages in non-Mason jar receptacles.  Police responded quickly and took her into custody.

"We always try to act quickly in situations like this," Oxford Police Department spokesman Sgt. Brad Collins said.  [...]

Remembering Rush Limbaugh's 'First Thanksgiving' Story You Didn't Learn in School

 

While we celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends, we will also remember the Thanksgivings of our past—the ones of our childhood and the ones when our parents were still with us.  But there is another Thanksgiving tradition that conservatives might have forgotten.  It involves the great Rush Limbaugh.  It has been almost four years since he left us, and I am confident that I speak for many when I say I miss him daily.

As he always did, Rush educated us daily, even at Thanksgiving.  Every year, he told the story of the first Thanksgiving, but he told the parts of the story that were left out.  [...]

GREEN VALLEY LAKE, CA — Local man Landon Collings, 45, heroically volunteered to do the most important part of Thanksgiving meal preparations this year: staying out of the kitchen so his wife, Carla, could actually get things done.

Collings successfully did his part by not going into the kitchen at all, just playing around on his smartphone, and "generally making himself scarce," according to sources.

"I'm not a hero or anything," he told reporters as he [...]
