Sorry for the harsh usage of 'screw', but it seems that a lot of problems with Thanksgiving all comes from family. I understand it.

But why not get together with a friend of yours, or a few friends, and have a big dinner? Seems like a better idea to me.

6. Hanging out with the Worshipers of the Coffeepot!

Fellow Unitarians.
After we eat we sing xmas carols. Then we get bored and sing xmas carols to House of the Rising Sun. That goes with an amazing number of lyrics.

I may get drafted this year for piano duty.

7. I don't hate them...

I just volunteer to serve food to the needy so I don't have to be around my family on the holidays.

8. I tried that once but the conversation wasn't very lively

it was all "Who the hell are you?" and "What are you doing in our house?" and "We're calling the cops!"

Just got boring after a while.
