Or unionize and give workers more power to negotiate. Some people don't care much about these holidays and don't mind working, but no one should be forced to work a holiday.

Exactly. I always remember my uncles back in the 70s at their mill jobs being absolutely giddy to get triple overtime to work on holidays. They had badass unions though too...

Yeah I made it clear if they wanted me to work on the holidays I would need to get paid big, I got the day off instead which was what I wanted to begin with lmao

I had Chinese today. Not much family. A lot of work to do the traditional meal for just myself.

Granny, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers.

I thought we were having roast turkey.

No, I said roast burgey. That's what I call hamburgers.

I tried Mcdonalds in porstmouth and kittery. Both closed. I just wanted some shit food to help deal with the pain.

As a single guy living alone I just opened a can of peas, a can of cranberry sauce, poured some water on some dehydrated potatoes and dumped some canned gravy on them and honestly it was as good as anything my family used to make.

I didn't feel like cooking a whole turkey though so I made myself a cheeseburger as the main dish instead.

Only think I feel like I'm missing is the stuffing. The boxed stuff is never as good as home made.

I had a microwave dinner. Family is too far away and I have pets, which makes travelling expensive and complicated. So, I stayed home.

Cooking is easy. Cooking well? Not so much.

Definitely, but giving up and going to McDonald’s shouldn’t be the answer. Should at least try. Practice makes better.

Basic stuff like pasta and chicken? Yeah.

Complex meals that would make Gordon Ramsay weep? Not so much.

Joke's on you, going to McDonald's is our Thanksgiving tradition!

That's whatcha get when ya don't feel like wasting 12 hours on a turkey and hate pretty much every Thanksgiving staple food out there!
