The Holidays™
Last Thursday was Thanksgiving, the official start of The Holidays™.
Not that the Christmas stuff hasn’t been out in the stores since Arbor Day. But starting today, it’s time for all of the mandatory Holiday Events™.
Don’t get me wrong, this is my favorite time of year. It’s just that – for a lot of people – this time of year comes with some baggage.
Maybe something happened to them around this time of year. A death. A divorce. A falling out. A relapse. Something that the sights and sounds of the season call them back to. Taking them to a place they never want to go back to.
Maybe this is the first time that they’re going through this season without someone.
Maybe they’re going through this season alone. Again.
Growing up, the official Holiday Events™ in my family were the dinners. And they were family only.
So I was completely surprised when I was 10 or 11, and one of my father’s friends joined us for Thanksgiving dinner.
Normally, he was a quiet, understated man. But at that dinner, he was grinning from ear to ear.
After he left, I asked my parents why he came for Thanksgiving dinner.
They told me that he was getting divorced. That his wife and their children were at her mother’s for Thanksgiving. That they didn’t want him to be alone for Thanksgiving.
Years later, I rented office space from one of his sons. Who made a point of telling me how much that Thanksgiving meant to his father.
What seemed like such a small thing at the time, was still touching hearts almost 20 years later.
Today, think of the people that you know whose holiday baggage is hitting them hard. Especially if they’re alone.
Reach out to them. Today.
Whether you call or text them. Or put out an extra plate for them. Or whatever.
Let them know that you care. That they’re not alone.
Be someone that they’re thankful for.

This is just a map of New England (minus Connecticut the fake New England state)
#text post#new england#source: boston 25 news website: believe it or not massachusetts is not the most irish state new study finds#18.9% of mass residents have irish ancestry#really this is not surprising at all. massachusetts is the most population-dense state by far with the most immigrants#and new hampshire? ask anyone where their family lived before they came to new hampshire. it was massachusetts#new hampshire is full of ethnically irish and italian and polish catholics whose families have been here long enough#to assimilate and move to the suburbs and become xenophobic and anti-immigrant.#literally bothers me so much when ppl named molly o'flannigan and patrick sullivan talk shit about dorchester lawrence etc#and other immigrant-dense areas in new england. i'm like baby your grandparents lived there#well or at least that's my experience#new england still does have a shocking amount of wasps whose families have been here since the fuckin mayflower#i dont have a direct link to that in my own family but it's very strange how that is taught to new england children as like#'our' heritage in schools. plymouth plantation and the puritans and all that. you're weirdly made to identify w it#and like as time goes on#just factually that only represents the population of ppl who live and are raised here less and less.#not to mention it does nothing to address DIVERSITY in the area. but i suppose there's like a local mythos#we have to teach a story to children and it has to be a 'we' story and that story has to be pilgrims#bc the story has to start at colonization and not expand after that. thats too complex. happy thanksgiving?#new england white people have a habit of thinking theyre irish catholic anglo-protestant settlers and they built this country#they dont parse out their own identity at all and they certainly don't want to have to consider other ppl's.#wow i didnt mean this to turn into a culture-critical rant im sure most of my followers arent even from here so idk what this means 2 u guy#happy saint patrick's day!

also how is next week American "Thanksgiving" / Black Friday?
#unfriendly was the first person I met that actively did not celebrate thanksgiving#because he did not see why we would celebrate the mass slaughter of native americans#this was 1993#I never really celebrated it because my immigrant parents did not get it

Looking to get a break from work, Wrex gets the idea to put together a Thanksgiving meal for the office, and drags Adrien along grocery shopping, because apparently obtaining a dextro's opinion on levo food is a good idea.
Written for Shrimp Skwad's Surprise Challenge 011: Hurry Hurry.
He stops at the jams and ponders between marmalade and strawberry jam. Once he’d have bought both, but environmental harm means food is expensive as shit and he may as well buy a bunch of edible gold leaf to serve because it’d be cheaper than spreadable fruit. “Got an opinion here?”
“Red is a nicer colour,” Adrien says helpfully.
“Why did I even bring you shopping for levo groceries?” He grabs the marmalade because fuck Adrien’s opinion.
“You enjoy my company?”
Great. Now the man is figuring out he legitimately likes him.
“No I don’t,” he lies and Adrien wanders off and returns with a box of turian pastries that are shaped like flowers because apparently even turians are capable of liking dainty shit.

Thanksgiving
Remember a couple of months ago? When we talked about how to start each day?
Not just first thing out of bed. But before that, before your feet ever hit the floor.
About taking one minute to start each day. By making a list of everything you’re grateful to God for?
If you actually did that, then you know how good it is. What a radical difference it makes in your day. Even the worst days, days that desperately want to be retched, are better.
If you haven’t done it, then today would be a great day to start. Kind of perfect, really. Since today is all about…well, you know.
Why? What’s the big deal with gratitude? With giving thanks?
Giving thanks. Not in some abstract sense, but directly, specifically. That changes something inside us. It makes a connection for us. Whether it’s with a thing, or a situation, or a relationship.
If you’ve ever wondered why some people are happy and other people in the exact same circumstances are miserable, this is what it all turns on.
In the words of St. John Chrysostom, “Happiness can only be achieved by looking inward and learning to enjoy whatever life has and this requires transforming greed into gratitude.”
That is, happiness is no accident. It’s not something that happens to us. Or some fragile thing that can be snuffed out like a candle on the whim of fleeting circumstances.
Happiness is durable. But it’s not something we can seek directly.
Happiness is a by-product of something else. That something else is gratitude.
And gratitude is a choice. A deliberate, calculating choice to see the things and people in our life as the gifts that they really are. Things that we get to have. People we get to know.
All of which the love of God has given to us. None of which had to happen.
Even so, whether they are a burden to us or a joy is entirely our choice.
“When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” - G.K. Chesterton

'Bodies drop' as Walmart manager kills 6 in Virginia attack
‘Bodies drop’ as Walmart manager kills 6 in Virginia attack
CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A Walmart manager pulled out a handgun before a routine employee meeting and began firing wildly around the break room of a Virginia store, killing six people in the nation’s second high-profile mass shooting in four days, police and witnesses said.
The gunman was dead when officers arrived late Tuesday at the store in Chesapeake, Virginia’s second-largest city. Authorities said…
