TNG s4e11 “Data’s Day”
Historic considerations apart, I totally understand not wanting to celebrate holidays with obnoxious people you don’t like… but what’s the problem of doing it with people you actually like?
I like most of my family, actually. It’s just the stress of prepping and running around I don’t mind getting a break from. Will likely hear from or contact a bunch of them as the day rolls on.
Well here’s the kicker. You lot can get together whenever you want. It’s a lot easier, enjoyable, and convenient doing it that way too. Most of all, it’s actually your day, so it means something.
Sometimes you just need an off year.
Dinner idea
Careful, it’s addicting
extremely true.
my immediate family disowned when i came out the closet almost 2 decades ago and it taught me how to enjoy the holidays on my own. we’ve reconciled since then, but i still prefer doing my own thing on the holidays w/o them; in fact i only visit them when i’m too lazy or busy to have my own plans now.
Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you enjoy your day to yourself
Will do, thanks. Have an HD remake of a classic holiday meme:
Go to a restaurant alone and look sad on Christmas. We used to give away a lot of meals at the restaurant i worked, on the 24th particularly.
I, too, get to skirt responsibility. Unfortunately it’s because I’m sick.
Upside, I don’t have to pretend to like the parade, and I’m not stuck putting up Xmas decorations at my parents hosue
