I gotta say thanksgiving isn't that bad at all. I can definitely see what you all are saying about being forced to spend time with family, but i just don't have that problem since i moved away. I pretty much don't go visit family on holidays anymore, too much bullshit. My mother and father still try to bug me about coming over while using that guilt-trip-shit about how "they never see me anymore". All i say is, "if you want to see me, come to my house". Which of course is always out of the question. Imagine that! So i just lay back, relax and enjoy it by myself. If i were some of you, i would just show up for food then leave shortly afterwards. Sooner or later, they'll get the hint and not bother you anymore.
