This is my favorite thread every year!
My wife is still in some sort of feud with one of her siblings, so we all aren’t getting together again this year. It sucks, because it was such a blast every year. So many good times. It all ended, because 40-year olds can’t handle their alcohol and can’t forgive.
On the bright side, this is the year we do Thanksgiving at my mom’s. My sister has a tendency to go crazy, although she hasn’t in several years, so there is a chance.
This is my first holiday season without my dad. He passed away in February. Last year was a shit show. He couldn’t walk, in nursing home, etc. I went to pick him up from nursing home so he could have thanksgiving at my house. Getting him into the car almost ended up with him on the ground. Luckily a nurse looked out the door and saw my struggle to keep him somewhat in the car. I was about to drop him. Took three nurses and me to get him into the car.
I love this thread and hope I can contribute this year.
