How My Family Celebrates Thanksgiving

This is what it's like around the house on Thanksgiving Day .

1. First, Dad hangs Christmas lights from roof while dancing around like the Great Cornholio.

2. Brother burbs. And mom gets real mad and says, "Coach, I do not appreciate that at the Thanksgiving Day table."

3. Brother 1 and Brother 3 fight over who has to say the prayer. Dad forces Brother 3 to pray.

4. Dad's Thanksgiving meal consists of a peanut butter sandwich, Reeses peanut butter cups, and a Diet Pepsi.

5. After his Thanksgiving dinner, Dad has a dinner roll, a Reeses peanut cup, and cranberry sauce...all together. Later he says, "That would have been great with a piece of turkey." He claims it's delicious.

6. Two minutes later Dad exclaims, "That wasn't so tasty."

7. Daughter (me) tries to set the table on fire by taking matches to the cranberry centerpiece.

8. Mom gets mad. Real mad.

9. Daughter, Mom, Brother 1 drink beverage with lemons harvested straight from the tree. Delicious.

10. Mom wonders how she's survived this family.

11. Brother 3 reminds Sister (me) that he has a paper due. He says, "I promise, I will not leave this to the last minute." It's due Monday.
