On the Concept of... Thanksgiving

Thankgiving : the holiday where we celebrate genocide. Sounds American to me. I, for one, HATE Thanksgiving. The idea of spending seven hours crowded into a small house with family does not sound appealing to me. Forget the fact that I don't like most of the stuff we eat during the holiday. But hey. Most Americans love it. The good part of the holiday is Black Friday. This is my third favorite day of the year! After Christmas and my birthday of course. The past 5 years, me and my parents have gotten up early, and gone and blown a bunch of money on stuff we really don't need. Definatly a good holiday right? The downside of this is that I always know what I am getting for Christmas. Without the surprise, Christmas is just kinda meh for me. But this year is going to be different. I am not going shopping tomorrow. It will make my Christmas experience 100x better. But I am kind of stressing out. My mom has a style that I don't really like, and I don't want all of my presents to be things that I don't want. I am missing the third best day of the year, and placing complete faith in my mothers knowledge of what I like. I desperatly hope she remembers. So yes. Stressed on Thanksgiving. Nothing better right?

What made my day: A tiny baby falling asleep on my lap
Why?: its a tiny baby! Need I say more?

P.S. my new favorite song: You Wanted Me by David Osmond:)
