3 Years Ago I Gave Up Thanksgiving Family Crap. You Can Stop the Maddness
Advertisements [?]
So 3 years ago I told my family that I and my partner were no longer going to participate in TG family crap. They bitched and cried, blah blah family. We would love to come see them, and we do, but we were reclaiming the holiday as a thanksgiving, and not a evil family nightmare where I see people I would not speak to if they were not family.

So this is 3 years, and I love it! Had some friends over, we ate a great meal, turkey and all that. We watched a few movies and they went home.

- Total time in the car, ZERO
- Total time I had to be mad, NONE
- Total assholes I had to deal with, ZERO

Had a great time, did not have to put up with any asses in the family, Man love this holiday.

This year my mother did the same, she just got off the phone, told me she should have done this years ago!

You can do it, reclaim this day as your own! Just say NO!!!!
