There's a lot to be said for keeping with tradition, but this year my family and I are making homemade pizza for Thanksgiving dinner. Just pizza, nothing else. Maybe ice cream, too.
Why? Because we want to. People can't help but pause, give us "that look" and then invite us to their house for a traditional dinner ... they do it out of pity or out of some built-in godly, spiritual obligation, whatever. It's commendable that anyone would reach out to us because they think we need help or need some lookin' after. That is what Thanksgiving should be about, after all.
I usually don't wish anyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
I usually just bitch about the slaughter of turkeys or the whole pilgrims fucking over the American Indians.
But, this year I'm just sayin' "Happy Thanksgiving" to everyone.
That's all.
