Pretty sure the LDB game doesn't officially start until after Thanksgiving.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just remembered I brought cheesecake bars to the last family event. It was six months ago, and they were a hit, so it's OK to repeat, right?

It will be a tradition!

Good one!
A couple of years ago I did all swiss rolls, so maybe that's my thing.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Got LDB'ed this morning. Yes, someone in the lab was playing a Christmas playlist before Thanksgiving. The only tiny bit of mitigation is that it was Joan Jett's cover.
It's on the set list for this year's holiday carols. I cannot avoid it. Although, I think that I should be able to still play, as long as I avoid it outside of rehearsal.
Also, was chatting with my boss about Thanksgiving and mentioned that we have rice as opposed to potatoes. She could not suppress her look of horror that we don't have potatoes.

The game doesn't start until the day after Thanksgiving. (Unless you want to be out early, in which case I say today counts.)

I feel like that's fair.

NGL, Thanksgiving without mashed potatoes would break my cold black heart.

It was really funny. I don't know if she thought it was a black thing.

I'll get my turkey gravy fix on the dressing and bird, no worries. And when I make mashed spuds for dinner next week, there'll probably still be gravy left. The idea of frying mashed potatoes in butter is new to me, though. I'll have to make extra some time and try it.

There have been quite a number of years when we had rice and no potatoes. Usually some fabulously tasty rice casserole type recipe, but sometimes just rice. Turkey and rice are an excellent combo. There have also been years when I just bought the premade mashed potatoes for the sake of the potato lovers because I really just don't enjoy making them. Peeling potatoes, yuck.
I generally get LDB'd early in the season because I will listen to the holiday jazz station in the car. I won't look for the station until after Thanksgiving. The whole radio thing is different in the new car. I miss my Sirius, but I will acclimate.

If you're singing LDB, then you're almost literally playing for the opposing side in the LDB game.
