[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why "skip it"? That's weird. I mean volunteering is good but there is no reason you need others around to make it special for you and your husband.[/quote]

Maybe "skipping it" isn't quite the right phrase, but we don't really care about the meal itself and have no desire to roast a turkey and all the fixins, so we're not going to bother.[/quote]\

^^ So go online to Wegman's (or whatever) website and place an order. Done and done. No prep, no mess, and a good Thanksgiving meal.

You sound depressed. Or lazy. Or self-centered. Or combo.[/quote]

This is OP and I’m cracking up at your armchair diagnosis of me looking for some fun ideas for a small family with a toddler on thanksgiving. Lol[/quote]

The tone of your post was a far cry from "looking for Thanksgiving day activities" as you're now reeling it all back in.

Not to mention you said you didnt even want to bother cooking the traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

What kind of reaction did you expect?

I guess I expected the helpful replies that 80% of the people responded with.  How dare I not want to cook a traditional thanksgiving dinner for two adults and a one and a half year old!  I’m the worst!!  [/quote]

Yes, you are.  Nice that you recognize this major character flaw and now you can work on trying to be a nice person.  It will take a lot of work but if you just keep slogging along then maybe by the time your toddler has a toddler, you just might have made an actual friend!  [/quote]
