Thanksgiving isnt about Food. Stop saying that! Its about being thankful that we found somewhere to live that wasnt part of the British Empire, where we can make our own problems, repress our own enemies and twist up our own religions! Even though we love the redcoats now, and were totally besties, it still isnt about Food. Food is just fuel, thats all. Sometimes its yummier or more fun than regular meals and thats cool. But mostly its about sitting down together and sharing conversation and laughter and appreciation for what you have. Whether what you have is a spread suitable for Martha Stewart, or nothing but leftovers along side a family you love, or all by yourself on that grey November day, watching football and being thankful you are warm and toasty and indoors with a great new book. Whatever you have is something someone else doesnt/ So it isnt about food, its about everything else in the environment around the food. Grandpas stories. Your best friends new guy. Your baby daughters first time playing in the mashed potatoes. Your team having a game on the TG lineup. Your mom doing your dishes. Your dad and your boyfriend making bets on the wish bone. Not having to be at work. None of this shit is about calories - so if you are lucky enough to be someone who gets to have this holiday, dont pettify into some god-awful day thats going to ruin your stupid diet that you barely stick to anyway.
