This past thanksgiving was my first time away from my family on thanksgiving. It was most certainly an interesting holiday. I went to my friends apartment where we cooked up a ham and mashed potatoes and green beans, it was a fun time. But it lacked what i was used to, a hustling and bustling holiday full of food and family drama. I say drama, but thats just how things are, when you get 16 members of a family together there is bound to be some sort of issues!
Anyway, most people see this holiday as just a day to kick back, drink, eat and watch football. But that isnt even remotely close to what its about. Its not even a wholly christian holiday either, as most people believe. It was first celebrated by Quakers when they first came to America. The holiday isnt about what deity you serve, worship, make ritual sacrifices to or whatever. Its simply a holiday to give thanks for everything and everyone you have in your life. To be happy for what you have and to look to the future.
I think that it is a great way to start the Holiday season. Also what better way to end Thanksgiving than a good old zombie apocalypse? Seriously, those rascally buggers are always trying to muss up everyones plans. so a few well placed bullets into some brainpans and the world can go back to the way it was. Also, i just recently watched the premier of “The Walking Dead” on AMC. I didnt think that it would be possible to make a show about zombies and the apocalypse, but the writers there did an absolutely fantastic job. The plot moves along, the characters are very real and most of all, over all it is extremely believable. I’ve heard complaints about the acting and the zombies, but you know what, i dont think there is any validity to those complaints.
