The War on Thanksgiving...


Zod

Recommended Posts

And so it begins my friend. The War on Thanksgiving is in full effect. Store fronts are now littered with Santa Clause and Christmas decor. Once again, Thanksgiving is an afterthought.

Thanksgiving is the only man based holiday. No shopping, no singing, no romantic sickening notions that make me want to vomit. Just the biggest dinner of the year, plenty of desserts, and an afternoon of watching football from the couch.

Men of the huddle, I submit to you that it is our destiny to take back Thanksgiving and hump it into the prominence it once endured. Now is our time!

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Not because of family. I'm in the woods for the whole week and at night celebrating with friends guy week. No women allowed in camp. Back to nature giving thanks of how easy we have it the rest of the year.

Our Family's Tradition? It's kinda corny, but we sing along to Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant played on one of the kids old boom boxes when we break out the nanner puddin and punkin pie for desert. It's the only Thanksgiving music I know.

First recommendation to take Thanksgiving back - I literally refuse to listen to X-mas music until December. If I heard it before then I used to stick my fingers in my ears and go "lalalalala". I say we adopt a policy of humming a few bars of Arlo's song instead whenever and wherever X-mas music in played inappropriately prior to Thanksgiving.

Absolutely. I love Christmas music in small doses. 3 weeks a year is about all I can take. If I hear someone playing it between now and december I will punch them in the kidneys.

Im gonna need to go ahead and request off work. Effin love Thanksgiving.

Although, I do looove Christmas, but the past couple years we have had like 30 of my family members all fly to Charlotte for Thanksgiving and it always ends up being shitfest 200(insert year here). Pretty excited about it. Drink lots, get high, eat too much, smoke again, drink even more, beer pong, bar or stay at my aunts house and get hammered. Wake up, eat breakfast, repeat.

The only money you gotta spend for Thanksgiving is on awesome food instead of crap you gotta buy for people that they don't appreciate. I'm organizing a donation to charity this year...any person that was going to buy me something can take that money and either donate it straight to a charity or give it to me and I'll do it. I hate the materialist Christmas we celebrate. It's a joke. Got a friend who lived in South Africa for awhile and she's working with a children's charity there. Prob just donate the money to that. Any and all are welcome to participate in giving me my "Christmas" present.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday by far (4th of July close second). Both are centered around family, food, drinking, and either football or blowing stuff up. God bless America.

    • I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.     
    • This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
