Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Lecter.
Perfect!
I later thought that: “Delicious dinner, dr. Lecter” might even be more creepy…

You invited your parents?!
20 people, 1 pie.
How about that President?
Jellied cranberries, not sauce.
Donald Trump coming over?
You’ve brought twelve friends….?

I forgot the pie.
The oven just died.
Dinner will be late.
The power is out.

Let’s just wing it.
“I invited extra people”
(Oh, I’m having waay too much fun with this, and giving myself nightmares….)
Let’s talk about politics.

“Who’s got your vote?” “You’re not wearing THAT?!” “Mother’s recipe is better.” “Who’s winning the game?” “We don’t eat meat…” (Or processed meat, or grains or gluten or carbs or conventionally raised food or dairy products or turkey or ham or smoked turkey or beef or ) “We’ll be VERY late…” “My mother (father, blessed aunt, dear sister, other sainted relative) always said…” “Ew, gross! What’s that?” “Your decor is… interesting”. Pretty much any way in which the essence of who we are and how we live is attacked has the capacity to “ruin Thanksgiving” if we let it. Odds are that some version of this has happened to all of us (some folks deal with it annually!) and most of us are pros by now with recovery. In all likelihood, Thanksgiving will not, in fact, be ruined! (Thankfully!)
