View submission: How long is your Thanksgiving celebration?
When I would celebrate with my family, my dad and I would last approximately 30 minutes on pleasantries until we had to leave for a walk or hike ride or canoe trip. We both do NOT like having Other People in our houses and thanksgiving was always stressful.
As an adult, I just celebrate with my husband. My dad and stepmom have finally accepted they enjoy the same at their home. We finally gave up the thing that makes us miserable.

Good for you. I think you’ve hit the key, which is to do that which brings you joy and pleasure. There’s a lot of pressure from society to do something else, you know the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving. I love it personally and I’m grateful to spend four days with my family, but that’s not for everyone.
