It’s an awful holiday.

It’s that time of year again, and families everywhere are gathering to celebrate the holidays.

Thanksgiving is a time to eat turkey, pecan pie, sit in front of the fire, and make light conversation with your racist Aunt Susan and homophobic Uncle Tim.

Try not to get into any heavy conversations and avoid any conversation about yourself, because someone is bound to say something offensive.

Why even bother with Thanksgiving?

It’s a reminder of when the Pilgrims came to America, killed Native Americans, and stole and bastardized their culture.

What a cheery thing to celebrate!

Celebrate how you want to celebrate, even though it’s a celebration of murder.
