The First Thanksgiving was when the whiteys and the red man sat down together!!

Isn't Thanksgiving, then, a big yell of "No takebacks!!!!"?

Um, we don't need to yell that anymore. Due to the smallpox and general genocidal tendencies of the white man. But that one day? Man, that was nice. They gave us maize and oysters and whatnot, and we gave them a big hearty handshake. The bad stuff came later.

Pretty much the high point of that relationship from the native side.

That's what I'm thinking. I'm not sure how grateful I'd be about that day, myself.

DAMNIT. My spiced pecans are too salty. I am peeved.

I don't actually think Native Americans should be all over Thanksgiving, you understand.

Jessica: you'll just have to make more to dilute.

---

Jesse is wise.

I can also just add a little more sugar to this batch and stick 'em back in the oven for a bit.

What bon bon said reminded me of this quote from Ellis:

Thanksgiving: when everyone in Britain gives thanks for our ancestors having sent all the religious freaks to America.

But yeah, Thanksgiving doesn't mean a whole lot to me. We didn't usually go to big family gatherings, and now my mom and my brother and I all live within 20 miles of each other, so it's not like we don't see each other regularly. If there's travel or hordes of people involved, I think it's a bigger deal. This year I probably would have spent it by myself except my mom's travel plans fell through. I'd have picked up something ridiculous at Trader Joe's and been fine with it.

if you are not Christian, Christmas doesn't mean anything

Christmas means presents! And counting the presents to see who has the most! And stacking the presents to see who has the biggest pile! And trying to guess what the presents are! And disguising the presents so other people can't guess what they are! And devising logic problems involving the presents!

...We turned Easter into a series of competitions, too.

Edited 'cause I am dopey.

Christmas means presents!

Stan Yeah. And you know? I think I learned something today, it doesn't matter if you're Christian or Jewish or Atheist or Hindu. Christmas still is about one very important thing:

Cartman Yeah, ham.

Stan No not ham, you fat fuck!

Cartman Fuck you!

Stan Christmas is about something much more important.

Kyle What?

Stan Presents.

Kyle Ah.

Stan Don't you see, Kyle? Presents.

Kyle Hey man, if you're Jewish you get presents for eight days.

Stan Wow, really? Count me in.

Cartman Yeah, I'll be a Jew too.

For me, Thanksgiving means three solid days of cooking, and a spectacular big meal at the end with the people I love. It's bliss.
