@thebiglybestestdoggie: So excited for Thanksgiving! Heard my Grammie and Grandpa are planning to prepare a yummy feast! Hopefully someone will remember to sneak me a bite or two. And really, who can say no to this precious face?
Don’t mind me; I’ll just be strategically chilling under the table.
~Happy Tuesday, friends! Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with happiness and fun times with family and friends!~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: I’m thankful for my family. I’m thankful for good friends. And I’m especially thankful for yummy Thanksgiving food that falls off the table and on to the floor!
Patiently waiting by the kitchen table. You know, just in case….
~Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Wishing you a wonderful day filled with joy.~
Turkeys totally love me!
It’s true.
As a vegetarian, I pose zero threat to those poor fellows.
But enough about that.
Let’s kick today off with a little humor, shall we?
(Even if he can’t pass for a ghost, he may at least be able to pass as an albino turkey. And who the heck wants to eat that?)
(Um, hello!?! Surely the alarms in your turkey-brained head must be blaring by now!)
(Sorry to break it to you, but sometimes the truth hurts.)
(When you put it that way, it does sound more like a day at the spa, rather than the one-way ticket to inferno that it really is. But hey, enjoy that rubdown!)
(Save your breath, little turkey. You couldn’t pay me enough to make me want to eat you. Consider it my early Christmas present to you.)
(Bet that grass is looking like a pretty appealing option right about now.)
(Sure, but don’t get too complacent. Traditions can change over time…)
(Presumably, eating and being stuffed from the other end are not one and the same.)
(The need for posting every single thing on social media can get a little out of hand sometimes. Find a better hobby, turkey! On second thought, might as well make that final selfie count for all it’s worth.)
(Excellent point. Much like Columbus Day, Thanksgiving is yet another holiday of questionable origins.)
What exactly is it that we are celebrating, again?
Okay, okay.
Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy spending with family and friends, celebrating the myriad of reasons to be thankful, today and every day.
Because there are always reasons to be grateful in this life.
~Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Hope you all have a wonderful day! ~
(Merry Gobble Gobble Day originally appeared on Comically Quirky on 10/24/16)
@thebiglybestestdoggie: Did someone say “feast”?!? No clue what exactly Thanksgiving is even about, but I can already tell I’m gonna like it. Bring it on!
~Happy Tuesday, my friends! For those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, Jett and I wish you a joyous day filled with good food and good times. Bon appétit!~
I love holidays.
Truly, I do.
But Christmas decorations and shopping frenzies taking center stage before Thanksgiving?
Or before even Halloween, for that matter?
What’s up with that?
Unless you’re a retailer…
In which case, the thrill of Back to School/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year all start in July.
Who needs one holiday at a time?
Bring ’em on!
Bring ’em ALL on!!!
(Literally. Everywhere. There’s no escape.)
(Because why the hell not, right? It’s never too early, apparently.)
(T’is the season… for what, exactly? It’s getting to be far too confusing anymore.)
(As efficient as Back to School/Halloween/Christmas shopping all at once might seem, this isn’t what I picture when I think about “one stop shopping”.)
(November isn’t technically off-limits for Christmas cheer… but September and October are definitely pushing it.)
(You know what they say- if the bottle ain’t opening, it ain’t time yet. Try again later. Like after Thanksgiving, perhaps.)
(It’s hard to argue with the fact that Thanksgiving is indeed rooted in violence, but it isn’t typically the turkey doing the carving.)
(On the bright side, if you get it all out of the way now, you may be able to avoid getting out of the house again until well after the New Year!)
(What a great way to cover nearly half a year’s worth of holidays under one convenient catchphrase!)
(Well, at least since Halloween is done and Witchy Poo finally got her turn, Santa is now only trying to push his way in front of one other guy…)
(I think it’s safe to say that turkeys everywhere are sick of playing second fiddle to Santa.)
(And it would appear that the Pilgrims are none too pleased, either…)
(Nor is Grumpy Cat. But then, when is he ever in the mood to celebrate anything?)
(But we all have different opinions, and that’s okay. If Darth Vader is feeling the spirit of the season already, more power to him.)
The magic of the season is undeniable.
Even though I’m not entirely sure what season we’re celebrating at the moment…
All I know is that I’m not quite ready for Christmas music or Christmas shopping…
Or even putting up the Christmas tree.
The insanity of the season can wait.
Right now, I’m perfectly content with relishing the delightful crackle of vibrant autumn leaves beneath my feet on a crisp November morning.
Unless, of course, I’m somehow magically gifted with a one way ticket to a remote tropical island.
Then I’m all for it.
Ho ho ho!
~Happy Saturday, friends! Have a terrific weekend!~
Turkeys totally love me!
It’s true.
As a vegetarian, I pose absolutely zero threat to those poor fellows.
But enough about that.

~Happy Thanksgiving, my friends! Hope you all have a wonderful day, whether you choose to celebrate with tofu or turkey. Or a Tofurky. I promise I won’t judge! ~
I’ve never been one to jump the gun by celebrating one holiday well before the arrival of another.
Christmas before Thanksgiving especially comes to mind.
Or worse, Christmas before Halloween.
I’ve always groaned about the tactless “half and half” aisles that retail stores seem so fond of. You know, one side of the aisle stocked with Halloween costumes…directly across from the Christmas wreaths.
In September.
But this morning, I awoke with fierce determination.
The ground outside was just the right consistency from the sprinklers.
This would inevitably mean a lot less time and effort required for aggressively whacking Christmassy deer, trains, and polar bears into the stubborn, clay-like soil with a mallet in front of all my neighbors.
After all, nothing says Christmas cheer like the sound of a mallet penetrating the earth.
The weather was another selling point. Miserably gray, but unseasonably warm. And with the forecast from here on out predicting storms, storms, and more storms…how could I possibly resist this golden opportunity?
As I hauled out heaps of mangled décor and tangled extension cords onto the front lawn, I noticed my poor firefighter neighbor looking on apprehensively.
And rightfully so.
Last year, he witnessed firsthand what happens when a determined caffeine buzzed crazed girl with a mallet and dozens of Christmas decorations gets down to business moments before sunset.
Then a few days later, he also happened to observe us accidentally plowing right over the candy cane path markers with our truck. In our own driveway.
Last week, I discovered a business card by my front door for Christmas Light Installation by Local Firefighters!
Coincidence? I think not.
So what if it’s a tad bit early in the season to be decorating?
Big deal.
A little light never hurt anyone.
Unless that source of “light” happens to be lightning. Or a malfunctioning power outlet. In which case, yeah, electrocution probably does hurt.
And it’s not very festive.
Anyway…
Happy (early) Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good night!
This was the “lucky” pardoned turkey. He ‘s now being forced to spread holiday cheer.
