“A little personal space please? I just saw you less than a month ago! I even let you take a bunch of the leftovers so you’d be able to thrive on your own!”
Why parents getting divorced sucks. I’m doing this 8 times in a span of 4 weeks. Ridiculous.
This is why Canadians have theirs in October, as it should be.
I guess it can be seen as a precursor for who you don’t invite to Christmas
Better to get it over with than do it every 6
Does everyone really hate their families or is it just kinda a meme. I adore my family, I’d spend MORE time with them if I could, not less
Yeah but then you don’t have to see them for 11 months.
Nah. I vote to move Thanksgiving to September to accompany Oktoberfest and Harvest. That way it’s 2 months of uninterrupted Christmas after Halloween.
Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, and extra month makes huge difference.
Perfect excuse to not go anywhere for Thanksgiving. Oh, we’ll see you in a month!
God I can barely stand two hours with them it’s just too close together
Valentine’s Day Massacre
I’m so glad we don’t do Thanksgiving in New Zealand for this very reason.
It astounds me the amount of people who hate their families. It makes perfect sense how angry people are on this website- hate their family, hate their coworkers, hate hanging out with anyone to make friends. Who DO you guys like that isn’t your pets?
Lol 😆
For the US, we need a federal holiday in March and April. I say move Thanksgiving to April since Easter is not a federal holiday, lol.

Honestly a fair point
For real. No way I can do this again in a month
Honestly agreed. Plus would give a good mid year morale boost.
Easter has entered the chat
Thanksgiving, Christmas *and* New Years. Plus whatever Birthdays happen to be inbetween.
Maybe just don’t see them at all
My kids school just did this breakfast where we came in and ate with the kids and made christmas ornaments. It was fun, but all I could think of is “I just had these kids home for fall break, its their first day back. I just seen these damn kids!”
Thanksgiving is a trial run to see who’s not getting invited to Christmas this year.
And why are all the good holidays so early into winter?
Christmas should be in February….when it’s cold, dark and NOW you need a party.
See I adore my family so this isn’t an issue for me
I really enjoy the de facto work slump that comes from stacked family travel holidays just a few weeks apart. Everyone talks about Chinese new year shutting everyone down for a week but in the US, everyone just “quiet quits” at the same time for about 6 weeks.
This is a white people thing. Hispanics love their family’s and eat all the time . Not just holidays.
