Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday (lemmy.world)

Another (US, yes, other cultures feel free to substitute your own here) Thanksgiving. I don't really enjoy turkey, I have food issues anyway, feasting is very conflicted.

Then, there is the enforced extended family togetherness, the clueless rightwing folks carrying on vs the suffering vegans. Everyone expected to be happy. This is almost beyond cliché, but it's real, happens every year.

My wife and I are going to a “misfits” thanksgiving. Basically all friends that didn't have plans otherwise, or are stopping by after their boring family plans. We have a friend that owns a restaurant, so they’re doing it there.

I don’t give a shit about thanksgiving and consider it Indigenous People’s Day (if you want to spite your conservative dummy relatives, call it this at every opportunity you get).

Indigenous peoples day is an actual holiday and the dual to Columbus Day though.
