In reply to Thanksgiving day dilemma, rambling, posted by Tabitha on November 23, 2002, at 6:03:13

Believe me, bay-bee, I DO often have this dilemma. Know what I'm doing for Thanksgiving? Spending it with my mother's friend and her family. How pathetic is that? My mother won't even be there - she's travelling to see her brother's family, whom I can't stand anyway. But you know, when the invite for dinner came, I thought screw it, I know these people and they're really nice folks. (And great cooks). If I start feeling awkward I can always leave a little sooner. Plus, like you, I know I'll have the rest of the holiday to be alone - I plan on doing a little shopping, which will consist of cursing and bah-humbugging the people who insist on bringing trailer-wide twin strollers into itty-bitty boutique stores on the busiest shopping day of the year. Let the merriment begin!
