Hey, swell family. I hope you're having a wonderful Monday night. So for those of you who love Thanksgiving, it is the most wonderful time of the year because we get to eat on Thursday in America, we know that Canada has already had their Thanksgiving, but in America, we get to eat on Thanksgiving. Now, Thanksgiving holiday has been a little controversial over the years as people become more aware of the history of Thanksgiving and how it came to be

My eyes just were like, I don't want all that on my plate. I ate a plate and I was like, done. Whereas I know times the plates are heavy. We're going back. I think I had a plate, was watching some movies, took a nap, had a cup of tea later that evening. It was crazy. So that's one tradition I'm happy to enjoy the food without

Instead of turkey, we're doing prime rib because some of the people that are coming to the picnic, they don't agree with the past history of Thanksgiving. So we're trying to do something a little different traditionally than the turkey because of the things that came to light about Thanksgiving's history. So we decided to do something different. Some people have actually started in America have started opting to have started choosing other options, like, say, pheasant instead of turkey or things like that

And I'm glad, too, that I know you said that things between you and your family are strained right now, but I'm glad that you're not allowing that to stop you from enjoying your friends and enjoying the fellowship and the gathering. Even though you're not doing it with your traditional family, you're doing it with your friends. I'm glad you haven't let those things stop you from enjoying this holiday season. So I'm happy for you

But yeah, I do know what it's like to have to get up early in the morning and be on your feet all day long with these people trying to hit all these door busters and all these coles that are going on during Black Friday. If I go out for Black Friday, it's going to be later in the day, but I'm going to look though online and see if there's something that might be worth getting up a little early for

And so when I saw people going out to Popeyes literally the next day, I judged them, and I thought something was wrong with them. Well, first of all, I didn't realize there's a great deal of people that don't celebrate Thanksgiving or any holiday. There's a great deal of people that don't have family, don't do traditionals because they don't have family, or they're heartbroken. There's people that eat that day, and that's it
