I think I'm over Thanksgiving.
I mean, it was never my favorite holiday by a long-shot. I mostly appreciated it as a break from school. But the last few years I have become more and more disenchanted with the day. I mean, is it really a holiday? Is it? Every other holiday, in addition to the big meal, has something else associated with it. Christmas has presents! Halloween has candy and ghosts! Valentine's Day has flowers and chocolates and SadFM! St. Patrick's Day has booze! Hell, Arbor Day has trees. But Thanksgiving? Has a big meal and a contractually obligated sense of shame and guilt for not feeling more thankful the rest of the time, especially when you're sitting there trying to think of something you are actually thankful for and all you can come up with is your new pair of fluffy winter socks.
