But despite what some might think, I do have empathy for others. This Thanksgiving is going to be very new to me not having my mother here. I do get the celebration and family gathering bit and we all see different things in how to do it.
I cannot force you to think what I do, but I do get the gathering and love of family. And for that, I do wish you a happy holiday.
Have a good time tomorrow, but most importantly, DONT DRINK AND DRIVE.
What exactly are you "thankful" for?
We can make the history a separate issue here. I would not keep the name, but the idea of gathering for social events is normal.
I am thankful for my mom, and the fact that she made my life easier. I am thankful that tomorrow I won't be forced to attend church or a mosque or synagogue either.
I hate that some take Christmas day literally too. But I am not such a fucking dick that while I object to the logic of the history, that I am going to condemn anyone for having a day off and spending time with their family.
My favorite holiday is New Years Day because all the hype is over. So if I post ABBA's "Happy New Year" video, and I will, does that mean I want to kill everyone who doesn't like ABBA?
Point is, there is a time for arguing logic, blasphemy and simply wishing people well.
I could give a shit what they call tomorrow. To me it is an excuse to drink beer, and watch football.
