Thanksgiving Pregame Action

Welcome to the first annual Food Fight Thanksgiving pregame show! Since I will not be posting for the next 4 days, I felt I would be remiss in my duties if I didn’t leave you all with a Thanksgiving themed entry. I hitch a ride to my parent’s house at about 1pm EST and then do nothing but eat and drink until I return to the city sometime late Sunday night. It’s a holiday of excess and I plan to celebrate it the way it was meant to be!

What’s my plan? First off, I plan on getting in everyone’s way for a good hour, or so taking pictures for this stupid blog. After that, I’ll probably sit down in front of the TV and drink for somewhere in the realm of 6 hours or until my mom wakes me up to eat. I’m the oldest of the children in my family, which puts me in a weird position. I’m too old to talk about being a college freshman, but too young to talk about having kids and home ownership.

I usually just sit in front of the TV and take a nap. I’m often sitting adjacent to my dad who is in the same boat that I am. The only difference is that his age isn’t the factor; it’s the fact that he simply doesn’t have anything in common with my mom’s side of the family. My mom’s family is loud and obnoxious (like my mom and I), and my dad is soft spoken and enjoys being alone. A match made in heaven, I know. So he and I slowly melt into the living room furniture whilst drifting in and out of conscientiousness until someone herds us into the dining room for dinner.

At which point I gorge myself on mashed potatoes and green bean casserole until I shouldn’t be legally allowed to operate heavy machinery. But I’ll save the details on the meal itself for return.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
