Well, I was going to ask about Thanksgiving some weeks ago but this and that kept coming up, and now it seems everything's going to hell in a hand basket. So I suppose I might as well start asking anyway. With the track record being what it is around here, I doubt things will get much better anyway.

Assuming enough of us are in one piece next Thursday, I've decided we're going to be having Thanksgiving dinner at the hotel. If I don't have reason to kick you out, you're invited. I'm a fair cook and I'm used to making dinner for large groups but if anyone wants to lend a hand, you're more than welcome to .

I have a feeling this debacle we're facing now and the fact we're going through the holidays without our families will leave us all in a sour mood, so after the main dinner I'm going to be drinking and anyone of the proper age is welcome to join me. Bring your own alcohol though, I'm not spending that much money on you lot.

It's an American holiday for giving thanks, as the name applies. It has a long history dating back to the days of the first settlers. Mostly, we use it as an excuse to gather and eat.

[Good point.]

You should come. Half the community looks like they're showing up, so should you.

[toomanypetals.livejournal.com]

That's just more reason not to.

Young man, this is a holiday meant for families. If you weren't already aware, none of us have family here. We might be a sorry bunch but this community is all we have. So you should come and celebrate with us and at the very least pretend to be one of us so we can have a semblance of a happy holiday.

Feh. Then why would you want me there? I'm no social animal.

Because, strangely enough, some of us rather like having you around you twit.
