QotD: Thanksgiving Traditions
What are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions? Anything you're not so fond of?
Favorite Thanksgiving tradition: The food.
Least favorite Thanksgiving tradition: Putting up with my mother-in-law's relatives passive-aggressive and bigoted statements about my career choice, my politics or, my ethnicity (usually focusing around public education requirements or how my husband is married to a "foreigner.") I guess it's less rude than putting up with my ex-husband's grandparents statements about how Aborigines and Indian "almost look human" (way to make your Algonquin grandson and his Taino wife feel welcome,) but it still irritates me. For this reason, I try to avoid Thanksgiving with my in-laws at all costs. If I am not working at the Chicago Club, Loki and I usually spend it at my mom's place.
