At The Risk of Repeating Myself

Here are the reasons that Thanksgiving is the best holiday.*

1. You do not need to buy anything for anyone.
2. You do not need to set off explosives.
3. You do not need to dress up.
4. There are no parties at which people are likely to shout "wooooo!"**
5. You do get to eat huge piles of dark meat and stuffing.
6. You do get to drink a couple of bottles of red wine.
7. There is the national dog show, hosted by that weird silver-haired guy who lost that celebrity dancing show a few years ago. And the show is RAD.
   
8. You get to sleep, and in fact, you are drugged to do so.
9. School's out! Albeit only for a long weekend!
10. Work's out! Albeit only for 15 minutes, then it's BACK TO THE CUBE, YOU!
    

We're taking off for Novato tomorrow morning and we should be parked on the couch sipping on tasty beverages by noon. Happy turkey day, internet!

* Another interpretation would be why thanksgiving is merely "my favorite" holiday. I guess.
** I'm not down on parties or party-related holidays (New Year's, Paddy's Day) per se. It's just...when your chances of hooking up with a hottie actually go down when you stay out late, the attraction to parties kind of drops off.
