[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 319958, member: 7083"] I'm the Ebeneezer Scrooge of Thanksgiving. I really hate that holiday and I wouldn't participate at all if it wasn't for my kids. :humbug: That said, we'll be going to my mom's where we'll eat while easy child and my stepdad try to gross me out (because they know I can't stand to see the full turkey on the table - I lose my appetite). easy child will grab a leg and gnaw on it like he's a neanderthal. Stepdad will make constant references to the giblets. I will eat about a bite of turkey before this starts, then just eat the sides; but not much of those because my appetite will be killed. I usually end up eating about 3 or 4 rolls just to settle my stomach. Like Gcvmom, my current state of mine (read: depression) isn't helping much. But, I never look forward to it. The ONLY thing I like about Thanksgiving is that it's the kickoff to Christmas decorating, shopping and Christmas spirit. We do listen to Christmas music starting Thanksgiving and I like that.
