I was wondering how something similar would go down in other countries. Asking everyone what they're thankful for. In many cases it would be a non-stop stream of sarcasm and swearing.

It's stupid. I don't like Thanksgiving, I dislike turkey, and the whole thing is usually a boring, stressful time for me but we're not having it this year because my mother and grandmother are both sick and I'm kinda bummed. Chandler Bing? But seriously... I get it. Hope you can find something to make you feel better this week. Thanks. Am probably going to have a movie marathon or something that day.

At least you're not celebrating a genocidal f*** up who 'discovered' something the vikings already did.

Twenty years ago, Thanksgiving became just immediate family for me. Then my mom passed, and I did the grand meal for the first two Thanksgivings after as a tribute to her. Last year, I was overwhelmed, so I cancelled Thanksgiving and ran away with the turkey (I made sure ahead of time my dad and my boyfriend were okay with it, and boyfriend even got me some non-turkey related fun stuff to make for a random Thursday in the month of November). This year, boyfriend and I are skipping out completely by going out of town Wednesday-to-Friday, and my dad has plans elsewhere.
I'm also not a turkey person.

Classic case of STD...Skip Thanksgiving Disorder. Bah...you probably put your Christmas decorations up on November 1st too! I actually skipped thanksgiving a couple years ago. There was some family drama going on and a few extended relatives I’m not fond of were going to be there, so I called in sick. I spent the day buzzed, put up my chrhstmas tree, and had a burrito for dinner. Actually a memorable holiday. Since 2009 I have spent Thanksgiving with my pretty much in-laws. Much quieter,better food,and anyone that is an asshat and can't act proper for a few hours isn't invited. But I ain't a fan of turkey,never gave two shits about football. Usually while most are off in the study watching football I watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and then Planes Trains and Automobiles with my lady and her mom.

Can't wait to go listen to a bunch of boomers talk about stolen elections and how this country is going to hell for an afternoon.
But the food should be pretty good, I can bring home a lot of leftovers, and if I want to spend that evening and the next day drinking and smoking myself stupid, there's no one to tell me I can't.

I will say this... I kinda wish it was more acceptable to cook a 20lb lasagna instead of a turkey. I did that once and got half cheers and half "divorce my daughter now" results.

Seriously, for everyone that says you hate turkey, I’m making cheese burgers this year. If you want one, just stop by.

Usually while most are off in the study watching football I watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and then Planes Trains and Automobiles with my lady and her mom. I guess I could be happy my family is mostly quiet and pleasant. So other good things about the day...well, the food is obvious. Besides the predictable, my mom and my sister and her in-laws usually have unique go-to dishes too. For some reason, Chex Mix is traditional for us beforehand as well. We don't get to do it every year, but my sister also makes this pepperoni roll, it's like a calzone almost. And we have game night, as per the usual when we celebrate something there. This year we'll do Po-Ke-No and various others for chances to select a gift. "Official" start to the holiday season thing, yes. The parade and dog show is usually pretty cool. Whatever interesting TV marathons are out there too. One of our local stations still runs March of the Wooden Soldiers then and then on Christmas. I get to make Quick-Chek's Gobbler sandwich with better ingredients and for free. I don't do Black Friday like my female family, but do try to hit at least one interesting store. Things from the past I try to remember when Thanksgiving comes: When Survivor Series was on, or on the day before. Remembering when we alternated between going to my grandmother's or aunt's house (this was when we lived like 40 minutes away; now it's a couple blocks). The farm store(s) we used to get pies from. Disney Day Off and other syndie kids' blocks...also Thanksgiving was one day when cartoon pilots seemed to be dumped onto the schedule as filler.

So both Pac-Man and Q*bert celebrated Thanksgiving...
(sorry no full episode; also, Sue the ghost = Neptunia!)
On a somber note, IIRC Thanksgiving 1983 was when we learned Mr. Hooper died...
And the title of this thread makes me wish Beavis and Butt-head "did" (huh, huh) Thanksgiving too.

Growing up, Thanksgiving was always the gathering of my mom's side of the family at our house. Full spread, fine china and silverware, just wonderful.
Then my dad finally reached a point where my mom's relatives where chronically hours late, and Thanksgiving at our house slowly faded into the 3 of us.
With the passing of both my mom and dad, my wife, daughter and i would love to host but it's a logistical nightmare between my SiL, her kids (20 somethings), her boyfriend and his kids.
So we're just going up to see them on Thursday for dinner. Should be fun.

I'm absolutely dreading this year. Mom and I haven't gone the last two years because of COVID. My sister and brother in law have gotten completely radicalized over the past few years and now act or believe they are the 13th and 14th Apostles. Naturally, they are hosting and have already told everyone that we are getting kicked out at 6pm so they can go to whatever place of worship they have now (they've left several churches in the past few years that haven't been up to their lofty standards). So I guess I'm lucky I'll only have to put up with them for like 3 hours. It will be a long 3 hours since the majority of conversation will be them trying to 'save my soul.' With people like them, I'm glad to be a heathen.

I live a long distance from most of my relatives so I typically only see them at Christmas. As such in the past 15-20 years I've only had a few actual Thanksgivings and a couple of those were with friends. I like turkey and the fixings so it's nice. I'm up in Canada though, so our thanksgiving is a bit different. There's no looming Christmas, Black Friday and the day off is a Monday. That said, I can see why some folks might not like it.
