… When did Thanksgiving become about the food! Because when you ask someone why they like Thanksgiving him and hot and give you the whole spiel about family and all of that, BUT, deep down you know it's about the time off of work if you're lucky enough not to work at Best Buy at Walmart or target that is, and about the food. I personally don't even like turkey so the food part is out for me and the family well why do we need an excuse to be around family and eat like pigs!
Be honest. You spend days of cooking setting and cleaning, and lots of dollars preping for a "feast" that you makes you tired, and full, and feeling gross. And most people regret it afterwards if they don't run hard or workout in the morning just to be able to counter what they're eating. So my question is when did it become all about over indulging and over eating?
If you feel you have to work out before hand just so you can indulge then why are we spending an entire day to the eating? Is it one of the seven deadly sins, gluttony? Yet here we are as an entire nation indulging in that very thing!okay yes, that's extrapolating just a bit but why not deep down that's kind of the truth isn't it?
Why do we pick one day of the year for it? Why not have turkey and mashed potatoes and rolls for dinner in August? And green bean casserole and and honey baked ham in May? Why does it have to be all on one day of the year?
Thanksgiving this year was for 12 people, in which several of us spent $20-$30 each I are part of the meal where there was also seven pies, and two other types of treats, dips, not to mention the main meal. We could have fed several families for the amount of food that we had. As I mentioned before I don't like turkey so I had a roll a scoop of mashed potatoesA couple pieces of broccoli some Jell-O saladand that's all get I was stuffed.
Then I was so tired I couldn't participate in interacting with the family we were meant to be spending time with. The next day I was feeling very gross.
Tell me again why people like this holiday? And they wonder why I say it's just in the way of getting to Christmas LOL
