Thanks, it's over
Why do people make such a damned fuss about Thanksgiving? Why, why, why?HOW TO MAKE A TURKEY COCKTAIL:
Fill a room with relatives, preferably ones who see each other infrequently (for maximum impact).
Stir in alcohol (lots).
Garnish with snide asides.
Ignite.
You're probably getting the picture by now. Not my favorite holiday. And turkey sucks.
There are, however, a couple of saving graces:
1. My aunt is such a gosh-darned creative/talented cook that you can have a real feast and not even taste the bird. Look out, Martha, here comes Patricia, armed with a frozen quart of stock she made from scratch. No bouillion cubes allowed. Ever.
2. I'm able to play stupid teenage tricks with my cousin, Matt. We're both 17 now. I feel younger every year.
3. Get to see our Brit pal, O.D., who crosses the pond to join the former colonists for "their" holiday. Always a pleasure. AND he rakes leaves!
4. Pumpkin ice cream is usually available at a variety of places.
5. Nice block of time away from the office.

It was a GALLON of stock. You drank a quart, spinked, before dinner.
Spinked? You sure it was me?
