Sitting in Honolulu right now. Listening to the waves and someone downstairs arguing with the valet. It’s 11:20 PM here. I’m due to be up by 4AM local time to start the trek back to BR. Wheels up at 8AM, stopover in LAX for 3+ hours, then landing at MSY just before midnight. Figure about 2 hours driving from there to my bed, so I’ll be asleep in just under 24 hours from now.
All of that to say that Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws is still scheduled as usual—for noon on Thursday. Most times I’m quiet and just let them do their arguments without me. This time, I might just be tired and delirious enough to argue back. Also, if I can get the wife (no pics) pissed off sufficiently, maybe she will let me go back home. One can hope.

I'm ready with my wife's family. Mother in Law will start with how she does not eat sweet potatoes. Sister in law on how she does not eat sweet potatoes or anything green.....and how the oyster dressing....the mere presence of it gives her nausea. My wife saying she really does not like too many sides, while eating a plate dominated by sides. My daughter saying how much she hates Turkey, oyster dressing, her aunt's brussel sprouts ( very good, btw) and how the only thing each year worth eating in mac and cheese. My brother in law getting drunk listening to them all bitch and laughing at them after consuming 3/4 of a bottle of Gentleman Jack...

I have a full spread ready to rock. A decent amount of wine on hand to choose from.
The trashiest thing I do is invite my childhood friend every year. We took different paths in life. He's coated in tattoos from head to toe. He also is a successful business owner, more intelligent than almost anyone I know, and kind to a fault.
I only say it's trashy to invite him because I know how uncomfortable his appearance is for the older folks, but I'd rather uninvite family than not invite him.

2 hours in on a 12 hour drive.
Going to my brother’s house who I only see once or twice a year. Nephew’s birthday is in early December, so every year at Thanksgiving I take him to Walmart and say get whatever you want. He’s too good a kid or too naive to test the limits of that. He’s 12 now, figure one of these years he’ll hit me up for an Xbox or something.

You’re nicer than me. Complaining out loud about the food someone prepared is a huge no no.

Quick summary
Oh good.
quote:
when I was a kid we used to go to my mom's side for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter (and my dad's side as well, but my mom has 7 siblings and it was always a big party with lots of people). Today, my mom's parents passed away years ago some of the siblings want to keep the tradition. Well, most of my cousins have children and then some of their children have children so people just sort of lost touch and go with immediate family, but there are still a decent amount of people who go to the family party. I have an uncle who had a kid when he was in his mid 50s, now he is in his late 60s. His kid, a daughter is just trash. Her mom is trash, her dad is an idiot. She had no hope since day one. Another one of my uncles and his wife have been like her second parents, but no one can do anything with her. Last year, one of my cousin's husband was outside and noticed the girl doing something and he went look.. And she was on her phone twerking. He snuck up to see what was going on and she was on the phone with some older man. The phone was my uncle's who is like a second parent (oh.. she is 14.. 15 years old). The girl knew she was going to be in trouble so all of a sudden she "passed out". She was brought to the hospital and something lead to her being put in a mental hospital, but it was a huge shite show. I thought that was pretty trashy.
Nope

My dad has invited around 25 people to his house, which is only around 1,000sqft. Gonna be interesting seeing him try to cook for an army on a tiny 3 burner stove. There’s already groceries and liquor bottles stacked on random pieces of furniture around the house.
Brother and his wife will be bringing their small dog that barks nonstop
Looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time on the porch

This thread always delivers. I share it with quite a few people every year. Game on!!!!

My wife had the bright idea of having Thanksgiving at our condo this year. I'm sure all sorts of uninvited dick heads will be in and out tomorrow.

People who bring their pets to thanksgiving/Christmas are the worst. No, he is not the goodest boy, and no, it is not cute when it won’t quit bothering everybody while you halfheartedly say “no, down.”

Close enough to Thanksgiving….Two weeks ago sister-in-law (wife’s youngest sister) was in town visiting. She is a total mooch. My kids are very particular on snacks. Went to Costco on a Friday and loaded up on snacks. They were gone by Sunday because of SIL. She also stole all my brisket leftovers we had saved. I told SIL to stop stealing my kids food and asked for $ for the brisket. SIL got pissed and went to my wife. Wife doubled the bill because she drank an expensive bottle of wine apparently. So this women stole my kids snacks, got drunk and ate about my brisket. SIL is not fat for the record.
Wife’s parents and other siblings are actually supportive of us because she is total mooch.

This thread right here is one of the reasons why Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
I always get some good laughs.

I'm hosting for the first time, but it's just our good friends, my wife and 2yo/1mo kids. Should be nice and relaxing. Getting the turkey prepped and dry brined today for a smoke tomorrow. Really excited!

I made reservations so unless someone at the restaurant gets squirrelly we should be good to go.
My sister has already called to complain about my mother and some other family members aren't speaking to each other. It was a great year to move 12 hours away!

Tomorrow consists of a younger unstable sister who just told us she’s pregnant, a brother going through a divorce, a cousin in the seminary studying to become a priest, a volatile mom with borderline personality disorder, an aunt that doesn’t hesitate to call my mom out on her bullshite, and an uncle that likes to tell us how much everything in their house costs.
I already can’t wait for tomorrow to be over.
