I do not live in America and am not American, so I’m not entirely sure what it is other than being the Turkey eating holiday and an opportunity to tell your chud uncle that the revolution won’t spare him

My partner and I stopped holiday traveling several years ago and it’s been great. We don’t really do anything in particular. Maybe just a bit lazier of a day than a typical Saturday for us.

i live too far away from people that would compel me to do it. for several years, i used to do a Friendsgiving with some people that were labor aristos and had a big place they opened up to all the far-from-home people in this little town with a chill but organized potluck (they handled the mains). mostly grad students and just dislocated people from wherever. that stopped during covid when the host couple moved across country.

ever since/the last few years, i do some kind of slow cooker b.s. so i can have bowls of hot food throughout the day while i fart around the house, maybe do some DIY or fiddle with decorative art. this year will probably be japanese curry rice and occasionally put some dumplings in the steamer while i work on some cozy touches for my diy remodeled kitchen dining cubby-space to make it have tokyo noodle bar vibes.

i try to have everything i need / might need at the house by wednesday so i don’t leave the house on thursday or friday and be involved in retail. when i was younger, i used to work in a mall and similar places on those days and i distinctly remember the experiences as wringing out whatever childhood affection for the “start” of the christmas season remained.

…now here’s Mariah Carey with “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

Sharpen my many blades and plot the downfall of the inveterate enslaverscum of the prime-evil dimension.

My family has finally disintegrated so thanksgiving is off this year. I got the word a few hours ago that it’s officially not happening. Not sure what I’ll do instead yet but I’m honestly relieved, the past few were rough to say the least lmao

I’m English so I sit weeping under the table in the dark, as is tradition.

Quiet dinner with the wife. Usually cook something nontraditional. Doing salmon this year

i’ve had to work on thanksgiving the past five years but if i wasn’t working, i’d be getting ridiculously stoned and playing with my synths as loudly as possible since everyone else in my building is gone.

I’m gonna hang out with my pup and watch movies, play games online, read, assemble Gundams, and who knows what else.

I am missing Thanksgiving for the first time ever because I’m still not out to my family and I’m just not ready to go there and get gendered wrong for a week. Taking ideas
