Thanksgiving!

How to explain the beauty of my first Thanksgiving dinner without turning this into the corniest, cliché ridden post you've ever read? You see, I'm very excited by my new found love for this holiday. It's not only the fact that there was an obscene amount of delicious carbohydrates on the table, coupled with turkey and a vast selection of cheese. It's also not just the fact that it was a great excuse to sit around a table with friends to fool around and laugh until our faces hurt.

No...Thanksgiving really amazed me because it seemed more spontaneous than other holidays. You don't have to dress up like Dracula. You don't need to buy a ton of gifts. You don't have to belong to a particular religion or have some medieval spiritual beliefs. You don't need even need to decorate your house in any particular way. For this holiday, you only need to bring your appetite (and a modest donation in the form of a wine bottle to whoever volunteered to cook the turkey).
