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.

I chose to host a Friendsgiving at my business this year (I own a local game shop) because I am having nothing to do with my father any longer. A number of customers turned friends are in similar situations. I am a vegetarian, and I warned everyone before hand, I am not bringing a turkey.

Fake an illness this morning. Or flat out say, “I am not coming”.

I wouldn’t even say anything unless someone bothers to ask.
