Not so Thankful for Thanksgiving

I'm going to be ruthlessly honest. And my honesty is not meant to offend anyone. Just some thoughts I've been pondering. I do not enjoy Thanksgiving. I do not look forward to the debate of which family's turn is it. I do not look forward to the overeating of turkey and stuffing that sits in my stomach like lead. And what's the deal with having dinner at 3:oo in the afternoon?

What were the moments on Thanksgiving Day that I treasured? The rain. The crisp walk to the store to buy apple juice. My family's reaction to Wyatt's Indian costume. My grandmother's excited reaction when I brought out the Uno card game. Winning the first round of Uno! Those things are what I was thankful for this Thanksgiving.
