No to thanksgiving

[Leaf]

I just don’t want to spend the money on it this year. I’ve got a shortfall this month because I have to pay for a road trip to go pick up a car out of town and gas here is over 4 bucks a gallon. So I have to pay for the car to take him there and her to get back and the new car to get back. And I have to pay the girl to take him. So I’m figuring that will be about 100 bucks. That would be my Thanksgiving dinner money.

Oh well, I don’t really enjoy it anymore since my mom died, she was the holidays for me. I know my kids will miss the food but they don’t get involved with any other festivities so all they will miss is the turkey and fixings. Maybe I’ll pick up some of those cheap turkey frozen dinners lol.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

I hate holidays too. My mom must be the crazy one because she hosts it every year. I mean you can argue she’s the normal one because she has motivation and wants to spend time with family. No I think she’s the crazy one not me

I’m doing nothing Thanksgiving. Mother died last February, and she was my only family here in Arkansas. I live alone now with no family or friends. My sister and her family live in Maryland. I’ll go to the Thanksgiving dinner NA is doing.

I think I should make a presence

at my parents house if they’ll have me

mainly for my son, and my brother, Ronnie

but I need to ask my mom if she’s even going to have it

it’s a lot of work, and sometimes they go with other family

if so, I’ll go to the free meal at noon at the Knights of Columbus.

Phil will be with his sons.

Ours will be small. Already have a turkey frozen so might as well use it.

We don’t celebrate thanksgiving here, so I won’t be doing much out of the ordinary.

My paternal aunt and uncle aren’t doing Thanksgiving this year. I think they’re going on a trip. I’m gonna see what my maternal aunt and uncle are doing for Thanksgiving maybe they’ll bring me along.

Last year I wasn’t doing so good and missed the bus and missed thanksgiving.

If my brother isn’t t working I’ll probably eat out with him & his semi-friend. Probablly Chinese. Otherwise I’ll eat turkey here with the other old folks.

I don’t know what the plan is for Thanksgiving yet. When i was a kid, holidays were very traditional. But as i’ve gotten older and people have died, things have changed. There’s really no telling what we might do this year.

[Daze]

it’s the biggest volunteer day of the year

we always thought

Why not the 4th of July

the need never stops.

Am gonna spend Christmas on my own. Holiday time is very, very stressful for me

[disciple]

Yes, it stresses me out, too. I would simply not take part but i feel obligated to my family. Hopefully it will come and go quickly.

[anon94176359]

I give my family months of advanced notice I won’t be meeting at Christmas. I think it is easier this way

My mom and dad do Thanksgiving every year. They are always broke but manage to pull it off and it’s a big affair. Dad frys a turkey for lunch and smoked one for dinner. They flambé it at 6 pm. It’s a big to do.

I bring drinks, chips and dip and a green bean casserole.

[Lifer]

don’t know what im going to do. my sister usually has thanksgiving but last year my old high school crush came because she’s related to my brother in law by marriage. I didn’t want to run into her so I skipped it. I really liked her, I wanted to marry her. hopefully she’s not coming this year I don’t want to offend my sister by skipping again and im on better terms with her kids now that they’re getting older. sucks

Thanksgiving at my stepmom’s house
