OK…With the obvious familial “debate” inevitably to occur on Thanksgiving Day – spanning every tantalizing topic from football to free market trade to the amino acid tryptophan (which put Grandpa to sleep in the Lazy-Boy) – unrelenting madness and terror is most certainly to ensue! Just as sure as the green bean casserole will be the least-eaten (“crappy tasting”) side dish, a verbal brawl will breakout between the in-laws over Power-of-attorney of “Crazy Aunt Gertrude’s” estate once she goes “belly-up”.
So…here’s a better way to deal with the chaos of combative cousins and sassy siblings as you dodge a drunken uncle whose proclivity to talk more loudly with each can of Budweiser he guzzles (inciting his shrew-like wife to scream “pipe down you raving lunatic!” at the top of her lungs as she downs her fourth glass of boxed wine from 7/11.) Nightmare isn’t it? Well…why not “dope ’em up” BEFORE dessert is served? They won’t even know what hit ’em! You can moderate the mood, guiding it from malignant to merry in a matter of mellow moments…And do so before Grandma’s vodka gimlet kicks-in (compelling her to extol the virtues of the hot water bottle and accuracy of anal thermometers “back when kids walked to school up hill -both ways – in the snow” then trails off and wanders into the neighbors yard.)
Yes!
THAT Is what COULD happen…so here’s an article that may simmer-down and soothe the most bombastic of buffoonish argumentative boobs at Thanksgiving dinner: Cannibals gravy. Yes, that’s right… a wavy-gravy could curtail this conundrum allowing you – and all – to enjoy a heartfelt celebration with the “whole fam-damly” this Thanksgiving.🦃
So, here’s to wishing everyone Happy Holidays – from all of me to all of you!
(And may the Buffalo Bills at least cover the spread of the Cowboys game.) 😎
