Hollow Holidays ⛄

I had multiple people invite those of us who wouldn't be celebrating Thanksgiving to their house for dinner.

I got dressed but then just froze. The anxiety of rushing to the store to buy a gift, driving in inclement weather, leaving my dog home alone, and spending the day with people I don't know very well was stressing me tf out!

Plus, I don't eat meat or dairy. There goes the whole damn dinner!

One day, I'll have a family, and I'll go through the fuss, but for right now, it's just -- Thursday 🤷🏽‍♀️

Cheers to all the single folks with no kids, those who don't celebrate U.S holidays for cultural reasons, and those who come from dysfunctional families 🍻❣️

no gifts on thanksgiving!!! What were you thinking girl?

Relax, enjoy the day off. What movie will you watch? Deciding between gangster and sci-fi.

Maybe she meant hostess gift...

[Blueruth in reply to bethelbee]

Maybe. If you come to my house I would consider it an honor if you only bring yourself Given all the waste and what production does for climate... let's make that the new tradition.

I posted this and immediately went camping lol I had no internet signal all weekend 😫

Bethelbee is right. I meant like a bottle of wine for the host.

I didn't do anything Thanksgiving day but Sunday went to a friend's house for a dinner. I brought premade food from the grocery store as my gift. Stress averted!
