Well, now. This is going to be an awkward Thanksgiving, isn’t it? At the very least, it’s going to be a little difficult to maintain that all-important attitude of gratitude.
Our advice: Keep busy in the kitchen to avoid having to talk to anybody, have a comforting beverage close to hand, and keep our house blend of space-age folk, sweet soul music, dirtyass rock n’ roll, and goofy wordplay piped into your headphones.
You can thank us later. For now, let’s just concentrate on getting through this.
