I love Thanksgiving, next to Flag Day and Halloween, it’s one of my favorite holidays, but every year, things happen that just piss me off. Here are the top 5.

The Detroit Lions

5.  The Detroit Lions.  For some awful reason of tradition we are “treated” to watching the Detroit Lions play a football game on national television. The last time they won a Thanksgiving game was in 03, and they are usually the afternoon game. I would like to blame the Lions for why I get so drunk every year.

No football to watch, might as well attack this bottle of Knob Creek and laugh at the offense.

Crappy Wine

4.  Crappy Wine.  This happens all the time, and no one fesses up to it. You worked your ass off on this Thanksgiving meal and the best this person brought to the festivities is a White Zinfandel in a box.

Thanks, but I think will just use this to mop the floor with later. Or send it home with my drunk aunt and hope she regrets her dreadful hangover tomorrow. Which leads me to the next thing I hate about Thanksgiving.

Your Drunk Aunt

3.  “Your Drunk Aunt said WHAT!” This happens more than we like to see, but it’s a 100% guarantee. Your Aunt is there, she is drinking, and she is going to say some SH*T. She don’t care, she ain’t driving and you will listen to what needs to be said.
