Thanksgiving is an Overrated Holiday

This week in point/counterpoint: Thanksgiving.

Boyfriend disagrees.

(I wrote about that here)

Ok, I’m exaggerating Boyfriend’s enthusiasm slightly, only because he’s not really that giddy about anything ever. But where do you guys fall on Thanksgiving?

Mayor Gia's First Thanksgiving

It’s not exactly a Bible story, but I'm retelling the story of the First Thanksgiving. Enjoy! [Also, linking up with yeahwrite!]

In 16somethingsomething, a bunch of Pilgrims came to America.

Yay, religious tolerance! How nice!

They brought supplies with them to get through the first winter in America.

They were in trouble.  But then the pilgrims met the natives.

The pilgrims didn’t really understand the native people or their ways.

The pilgrims were also kind of jerks.

Things started to look pretty bleak for the pilgrims. Until...

The native americans shared their harvest, and the pilgrims survived.

 And they were super grateful. For a solid five minutes.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I Don’t “Get” Turkey

 As Thanksgiving approaches, I have to admit something: I don’t get turkey. At all.

But I kind of remember turkey.

I never really enjoyed turkey. It was just so bland.  I actually kind of understand why people deep fry it.

Wasn't that a specialty at all the county fairs this year?

Here, this is the breakdown of a turkey: 

mmm...ass stuffing

Why don’t people just eat chicken? I remember chicken being much better tasting.

That's not even a little funny. I love ducks. FRIENDS NOT FOOD, DAMNIT!

Welp, it's a word now. 

Do you guys like turkey or do you agree that it’s gross? Chicken? Duck? Turducken?
