So no gifts at Thanksgiving? Just as well if you have to splash out at Christmas. Oh my - I am quite sure the suppliers of h.c do great business in the winter months!!! And January and the debt. Oh yes. I used to work (temporarily) for a telephone tarot counselling line and January they were absolutely snowed under.......

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 > Yes, Mo, Thanksgiving is like a harvest festival, supposedly originally celebrated by the Pilgrims & Native Americans. It has become a festival of gluttony (not being critical, just honest about my own participation! LOL!), accompanied by a family gathering of dysfunctional members of the clan who probably don't even like one another, who come together for Thanksgiving dinner. It's a big football day, so the TV is usually blasting, providing plenty of overblown auditory overstimulation, accompanied by kids running wild & being loud (two of them are mine - again being truthful, not critical!). More auditory stimulation. In most parts of the US, it is already cold, so you can't shove the kids into the backyard to be loud out there without being concerned about frostbite. Fortunately, my immediate family aren't big drinkers, but many are, and in that case, just multiple everything here by 20! Dinner often starts with a phony prayer (maybe not phony for all, but probably for many), and occasionally a round robin of people sharing what they're thankful for. This part usually makes me cry, which is a great start to the meal and my eventual indigestion. Last year, I think that I said I was thankful for my drs. HA! THIS YEAR I'M THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE DUE TO MY OWN PERSEVERENCE & RESEARCHING ABILITY, ALONG WITH ALL THAT I LEARNED FROM NTH & NTHAdrenals!!! I'M THANKFUL FOR ALL OF YOU!!! Next, dinner begins, and things are usually still somewhat peaceful, unless one of the kids spills their drink, which they usually do. Typically, the following is served: Turkey Mashed potatoes Gravy Sweet potatoes Stuffing Corn Green bean casserole Cranberry sauce Bread/rolls with butter Salad A veritable CARB-O-RAMA! About 3/4 of the way through the meal is when things start to break down, and usually it's because someone brings up POLITICS. Dinner is not even over & indigestion starts to set in. For example, the last time my family got together, the subject of Iraq came up. I know we're not supposed to get political here, and that is NOT my intent, but suffice it to say that there was a dead silence when after my idiot BIL asked, " Do you know why we're not speaking Farsi in this country? " SILENCE. Then he asked again, " Are we speaking Farsi? " Someone finally responded with NO. It took everything I had not to LAUGH at the ridiculousness of the exchange. Anyway, I rant... So then...DESSERT, which consists of PIES!!! Wahoo! Pumpkin pie - mostly served only on Turkey Day Chocolate cream pie Apple pie Cherry pie Following dessert, back to the football games, and I march off to drink a lifetime supply of Mylanta, because of both the food & the family. Yet, this year, I live closer to family and even though it's going to be stressful, I ADORE my sister & am so glad to be able to spend the holidays together. Quite the dichotomy...which begs the question... VAL, HOW SHOULD ONE STRESS DOSE FOR THANKSGIVING FESTIVITIES??? (I'm serious about the stress-dosing part!)

I was actually surprised how well I handled receiving my daughter's bloodwork yesterday, thinking that it might show diabetes. I called my sister & she said, at least you're not melting down. I didn't even notice how well I was handling the stress, which was good. Thanks, Val!!! Warmly, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
