Tofurkey With All The Trimmings

Thanksgiving Potluck

Thanksgiving was a rousing success this year. The BF and his roommate put on a potluck. It was amazing to see how much the holidays mean to people. As one would expect, there was lots of vegetarian dishes, free range turkey and organic everything to go around. It was delicious!

It was so nice, I actually got a little homesick thinking about Christmas coming up. For most people, it would be a given to try and make it 'home' for Christmas, but my family is boring. For one thing, they are all Pentecostal. We are talking "Let's bring out the snakes and the poison and see who's really holy" kind of Christians. They mostly deal with the whole gay thing by ignoring it. And praying for my salvation at the dinner table.

I usually avoided it when I lived in Michigan. It was a long 4 hour drive to visit them. I could only stand a couple hours of them before I would say something lame about wanting to avoid hitting a deer on the way home to get out the door. My parents divorced when I was 13, so Christmas isn't anything like it was growing up now either. They both have new families now that only marginally include my sister and I.

I will probably just stay home this year. The BF is going to be in Missouri visiting his Mom. Or go visit friends in Detroit. Or see if Fernando is going to Mexico and spending the holidays with his family. I think I could deal with "Ayayayayay" a lot easier than "Our Father Who Art In Heaven".
