Halloween is the best holiday of the year only 42% of the time. The rest, it’s a confusing letdown.

      Thanksgiving sucks ASS because I have to listen to Uncle Dylan say the N word and make small talk with the cousin who raped me as a boy!

        No, you don’t. Anyone who tells you that you must is pro-bigot and pro-rape.

        Thanksgiving is a holiday about what you are glad for in your life. The only people you should deal with on Thanksgiving are those who you would thank God for putting (or keeping) in your life.

        Everyone else should either take the hint, or not be surprised when you engage in the modern tradition of “tell off your racist uncle who can’t keep his mouth shut” day.

          And if you’re a kid, the job of keeping those people away from you is your parents’. They can either step up now or deal with never seeing you once you move out.
