Here are my guidelines for a successful Thanksgiving gathering:
- Eat too much
- Don’t eat too much
- Try a bit of everything
- Ignore the nephew who eats with his mouth open
- When you go around the table sharing what you’re thankful for, don’t say “Prozac”
- Tolerate Uncle Ted’s stories about body parts you’d rather not hear about
- Smile nicely at the rabid vegan niece who wants to educate everyone about the realities of turkey farming
- If asked when you’ll write a real book, respond “When will you?”
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and for those who don’t celebrate the day, remember the weekend is almost upon us.
LOL!! I love your guidelines! Thanks for the laugh, Janet. Please, have a very Happy Thanksgiving and if someone does ask you when you’re going to write a ‘real’ book, send ’em to me and I’ll set ’em straight. xoxo
Janet, you are priceless!!!!
Janet, you are beyond priceless and frankly a bit frightening. That sounds so much like our family Thanksgiving dinners as to be uncanny!
