We don't have Thanksgiving in England, but Christmas was actually the one time of year I could look forward to. My parents actually made the effort to not fight with each other and my mother cut back on the physical and mental abuse she would wreak on my brother and I. Its odd that now my family is even more broken than it was back then. My brother no longer speaks to my mother, I haven't heard from my father for about 6 years, my mother disowned me last year because I talked to my grandmother. I'm actually so much less stressed than I used to be. Probably because I no longer fear for my life or my mental health on a daily basis. I probably enjoy Thanksgiving more than hubby. I actually enjoy helping his mother bake and getting the place ready for everyone. I'm sure some would find it boring as hell, but his parents have made me feel so loved. Its weird they treat me more like a daughter than my own I guess. But I think I'll always be thankful they took their son's wife. Who moved continents and didn't know a soul and accepted her without a second thought into their family like I'd always been there. So for me I guess it isn't about the food, or even what movie we all end up watching together. Its all about spending time with the people I love. lolkitsune, I'm sorry I subjected your blog to all that sap! To both of you guys I know this doesn’t help a jot, but (HUGE CYBER HUG).

They kept pestering me until I gave in to going to a friend's house. It sucked. Ever since then, I've lied to everyone I've known so that I could spend Thanksgiving alone. I'd tell my parents I had to study. I'd tell my friends that I could only get cheap tickets home if I left late and returned early (i.e. leaving after them and returning before them). Worked every time. It's even easier now that I don't have friends anymore. Spending Thanksgiving alone is awesome. I make tacos and watch tons of anime. The first year I spent Thanksgiving alone, I marathoned Berserk and Azumanga Daioh. It kicked ass. You should try it sometime.
