What are you going to do?

I gotta work but i will be out early enough to eat. Probably watch football and play video games with the family, since our Annual "Turkey bowl," (Football game) is done with since my dad retired.

Anyway, My family isn't the kind that eats ham. I always found it kind of weird for certain families to eat certain food that wasnt really about Thanksgiving.


I hope to eat A LOT!

Anyway,

Heres a Thanksgiving Joke:

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams. "We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this."

She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

Haha, that was a good one. We usually don't go anywhere for Thanksgiving and we usually don't make a big feast either. My dad hypes it all up, that we should go get food, drinks, movies, etc., but he usually goes to bed by 9, doesn't end up eating with us and my mom usually bitches afterwards, mainly about the dishes.

I really don't care much for the holiday, stuffing my face with food doesn't entice me much, seeing as I do it every other day of the year that isn't Thanksgiving. And our whole family is spread out over the world, so no one's flying from India, Honk Kong, and Ottawa to eat shit.

Alright, so in essence Thanksgiving is a harvest festival.

Then where the fuck did the whole native-killing connection come from?

What do they actually give thanks for?
When you boil it down, it's pretty much a celebration of the slaughter of Native Americans.

It's a bigger holiday than Christmas for most people.

As usual, we'll be heading to our gay friends house and celebrating with a bunch of people from a WoW guild here in Seattle.

We'll eat, drink and watch movies.

Celebration of this holiday started in the latter half of 16th century. The British settlers in the Plymouth area of Massachusetts fucked a lot of indians over, stole their food, etc. You've seen the movie Pocahontas right? That movie was loosely based on the foundation of Plymouth I think.

In essence, the harvest they were thankful for was stolen from the Indians.

Additionally, a lot of sitcoms I've seen have jokes that concern indians in their thanks-giving episodes. You have never heard any of this before?
