Business as usual. Here are people's personal highlights of this year's Thanksgiving. For some wild moments of domestic drama, here are some of people's worst houseguests.

My brother congratulated her on being the first person in our family to graduate college without getting pregnant. Turns out that's not true. She started sobbing and got in her car and drove away. Whoops.

    Font - evanjw90 - 4d My mom, who I've been no contact with for most of my life, said she wanted to reconcile and please come to Thanksgiving so she could see her grand son. She wasn't there when we arrived, and told my sister that she didn't want to have dinner with us. Literally nobody cared, and we had a great Thanksgiving without her. Honestly dodged a bullet.

    Font - partofbreakfast · 4d 22 3 My thanksgiving dinner was me, my parents, and my younger sister. Just the four of us at my parents' home. Mom got a text message from my aunt (mom's sister) about how grandma (mom's mom) was badmouthing the food she made and talking about how her boys (mom and aunt's brothers) can't be expected to eat this stuff. Mom texted aunt back with "tell her that guests don't get to complain about free food, they just get to choose if they want to eat or not." Apparently

    Font - justhereforthelul · 4d Had to call a tow truck on some teenager (friend of front neighbor's kid) because he wouldn't move his car that was blocking my mom's driveway. She told him to move it since she needed to get something for dinner, he answered that he shouldn't had to move it because it's a public street. I go get the stuff and then get home, I again tell him to move it because I want to park up the driveway. Shouts at me that I can find parking up the street. Now he has no car for T

My brother and i haven't seen eachother in about four years. Anyway, so they're going on about me and my brother is getting visibly uncomfortable. They've been like this to me my whole life and I think my brother had that realization very suddenly, same as I did when my girlfriend pointed it out. It was good to see someone get upset about the th

    Font - redheadmomster666 · 4d All the grandkids came over and they are toddlers. They ran around the house most of the night in a pack, screaming and causing chaos and disorder, and eventually they made their way to the mantle above the fireplace where they discovered a box that they just couldn't resist picking up and opening. The oldest one grabbed handfuls of gray dust out of the box and started throwing it up in the air in the living room, yelling out "its snowing mommy!" while my aunt stare

    Font - sousoucie - 3d S 2 A large mixing bowl full of yams disappeared into nothing while everyone was trying to get food on the table. We have looked absolutely everywhere there is to look and it's just gone. 9 people seriously questioning their sanity now. There are lots of things that could have happened to the yams themselves, but the bowl being missing is a real head scratcher.

(Not Christian) however, neither of us were attempting to debate the validity of the Bible's telling of the end times. We were simply stating that the series was fictional by definition.

But we didn't have the right seasonings except for Cinnamon Toast Crunch topping and so we had a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Ham.
