I still love Thanksgiving. It's origins may be complete lies, and that peaceful meal may have ended in betrayal but it's the thought that counts, right??
Every year, because of that "meal" between the pilgrims and Indians, families across the nation get together and celebrate all that is good in their lives.
Other reasons why thanksgiving rocks:
-the rolls (put a little butter on those delicious Pillsbury dinner rolls and there is no need to ever eat anything else in your life)
-seeing cousins, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, etc. that you don't get to see for months at a time
-a day when all you are required to do is eat and sleep, is the all around perfect day
-cheesy potatoes
-Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade
-a lot of really good movies come to theatres
-everyone has a food baby
-no school
-green bean casserole
-a day when you actually remember to be grateful
-stuffing
-black Friday sales
-seven layer salad (if you have never experienced this... you have not lived)
-no work (unless you work at a movie theater or a restaurant)
-another day to be proud to be an American (suck it Canada!)
-mashed potatoes and gravy
-you can feel the love radiating from your family and the turkey
-no ham! just turkey
-this is the perfect day to ask anyone for a favor, because we are all willing to boost our karma
-there are so many more, and I only have so much time
Overall, don't disrespect this beautiful holiday because of it's bleak origins.
Appreciate it for what it is meant to represent: peace and love between all people despite race, gender, nationality, previous feuds, etc.
Embrace it and appreciate all that you have been blessed with.
And you all have something to be thankful for, no matter what terrible things may be going on in your life.

I especially like the "no school" part. But one thing I hate is the traffic... :/
