Why Thanksgiving Isn't That Great

Just kidding I love it.

Why Thanksgiving Isn't That Great

Thanksgiving is upon us this week which means turkey, pumpkin pie, family, football, and that weird uncle who only shows up to drink beer and yell at the television for four hours.

But sometimes, the food is lacking, and by lacking I mean WHY IS THERE ALWAYS STUFFING! What even is stuffing? Well according to this recipe its just soggy, seasoned, bread.

I don't like stuffing. And maybe I'm the wrong one here but it's just gross. Why would you put soggy bread inside of a raw turkey and then eat it? That's where the heart and stomach and liver used to be and now you are eating the bread soaked in its remnants. GROSS!

There are other foods that turn my Thanksgiving feelings sour, including sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and bread that is cold.

But stuffing.... Stuffing is the worst of them all. It always feels weird in my mouth, full of random vegetables that no one eats like celery (seriously, who eats that?). Everyone claims to like stuffing, but I think they are lying. Nothing about stuffing sounds appealing--not the old stale bread, carrots, celery, rosemary, butter, weird turkey or chicken juice that make it up.

Let's not forget that Turkey isn't even that great of a food. Ham is a thousand percent better than turkey can ever hope to be. Ham is sweet and savory; thick and juicy; and tastes way better on its own. Turkey is a dry old bird that people only eat out of obligation for a holiday that was made up by some white people years ago.

Overall, Thanksgiving gets a solid 5/10 on my holiday rating scale. It's up there with Easter or Boxing day. Good thing Christmas starts a the day after Thanksgiving, otherwise I'd have nothing to look forward to.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
