TOP 5 WORST THINGS ABOUT THANKSGIVING

Overview: This is our catch-all list of all horrible things that come with Thanksgiving. Whether it occur in our homes, on the TV or at someone else’s version of the holiday.

Criteria: It can be a tradition, something we’ve seen, something we’ve heard about, etc. As long as the item is related directly to thanksgiving, it’s fair game.

Rob's Notes: This list is a challenge for me because Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday (right behind Christmas) and I therefore insist on always hosting (or at least cooking) Thanksgiving dinner. This means I can’t really list bad things about food on this list because my food and hosting is amazing and I haven’t had a bad Thanksgiving meal in more than a decade. I also don’t make my guests do stupid, uncomfortable things at my dinner table, but I listed a few of those on my list because they bother me so much. Just because it’s not happening to me, doesn’t mean I don’t care (if we all used that mentality no one would ever care about rape or murder unless it happened to their families. C’mon, people we’re running a society here)! I also tried to think of things I have seen other people do that are out of my control and absolutely asinine.

Arnie's Notes: Look here, I used to really like Thanksgiving but I have come to really despise the day and it is for all the reasons I listed.  We know that the Pilgrams and the Indians really didn't get along so stop trying to tell me how much "fun" they had breaking bread together, because THEY DIDN'T!!!!!!!!  AND SHUT UP DAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
