Food, Football, & Family!!!

 

 

My childhood memories and adulthood memories for Thanksgiving are not that much different.  There were football games, Bayou Classic weekend, family, & food.  Nowadays, there are football games, Bayou Classic weekend, family, DRINKS, and food lol.  The main difference, however, is the fact that our parents are not the ones doing everything lol.  I have been able to get away without hosting Thanksgiving due to not being in a home lol.  I do not know how much longer I can get away with that excuse lol.  Thanksgiving during childhood, we did not have anything to do but show up and eat lol.  Every now and then, I would get a designated chore to complete.  That simple task was nothing compared to prepping, hosting, cleaning, and lodging for family/friend guests. I have been recently discussing Thanksgiving plans with my cousins and it is weird hearing them prepare the meals instead of my aunts.  Do not get me wrong, all my cousins can throw down lol.  It is simply weird to know that we control everything lol. It is like an imaginary baton has been passed to us and we did not ask for it lol, well at least I did not 🤷. In adulthood, I feel that Thanksgiving is rushed too.  Mainly because day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday which officially begins Christmas season lol. The sales going on at different stores tend to take away from Thanksgiving itself. 

I HATE IT HERE, BUT HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
