thanksgiving is overrated - 67% Normal

Reasons why I don't like thanksgiving:
1. It's all about the food, and I love food, but thanksgiving food just isn't that good, it's all a ruse. Turkey is bleh and makes me feel sleepy and no fun. stuffing is bleh. i stick the rolls and cranberry sauce.
2. Family! okay so i love my family, but only in small doces and/or taken one by one. all together for a whole evening?!?! eff no.
2. Colonial Americans ACTually killed the Native Americans!!! I'm half Native American and although we're not very outright about this (bc we like to keeps to ourselves) the whole thanksgiving day story (myth! actually) is offensive. it was made to try and pretend that we weren't all nearly murdered. The whole idea of thanksgiving vs. the reality of the situation and what actually happened is quite sick if you think about it.
4. I hate football. It heavily reminds me of our country's anti-intellectualism which i can't stand. So no, I will not sit around with a loud irritating group of family members, while helping to cook this big dinner, and watch a truly war-like GAME... and i'm an athlete, but wathcing proffesional sports?! no.
5. If we went turkey hunting together it'd be kinda fun, but we don't!
6. The preparation is KILLER! I always feel bad for whoever's house it's at.
7. It's an annoying reminder that REALLY some people are just there and loving it bc they hate loneliness and that fact depresses me. haha okay that might be weird of me.
8. Okay I lied, I actually really hate some of my family members and don't wanna around them.
9. Travelling back for Thanksgiving (which most ppl have to do) is a pain in the ass.
10. I just wanted to end my list on a nice round number like 10.

Actually the main reason why we celebrate Thanksgiving is to give thanks and appreciate what we do have and not just what we want and probably don't really need.
it's cool , one more holiday to waste a lot of money and be even more consumist!
We do need consumers to keep our capitalist society thriving you know.
i think its normal to not like a holaday, thank giving is NOT my favorit and siting with my family wating for some hot turky to cook as we all swet in the heat!! you are sooo normale
i agree with you
Meh, any excuse for a holiday I suppose. We don't have it here though.
My my brother things Groundhog's Day and St.Patrick's day are a waste.
all holidays are overrated. but i think its normal if you're one of those teenagers. honestly, i think you need to be a little more appreciative of it. thanksgiving was a celebration to god for helping the europeans survive the first year in the new world, and they invited the native americans. you're defying the whole purpose of thanksgiving. my advice to you, is to learn to give thanks for your family, and even those you dont like. be grateful you have a family to share it with, even if they are obnoxious.
