So here's my plan to avoid the truly awful family experiences everyone seems to describe. Been doing this for years, it works like a charm.  ;)

I wait until Johnny asks what I'm doing for Thanksgiving and I tell him I haven't made plans yet.
When Joanie asks what I'm doing for Thanksgiving I tell her Johnny invited me over.
When Kevin asks what I'm doing for Thanksgiving I tell him my mother invited me over.
When my mother calls I tell her I'm going to Johnny's.

Then I sleep late, go for a drive or walk, and eat grilled cheese sandwiches in my underwear. It's heaven.  :)

   So much work. I've been so antisocial for so long  no one invites me over. So I only have to contend with thanksgiving here. Karen does the invites  and makes her shopping list. I buy the dinner groceries. No one from out of town showed up so it was just her son Robert, his wife Hazel and their dog who seems to like me a lot now. I hide in my room. When called, I help Karen manhandle the thawed turkey, unwrapping it and putting it where she wants it and retreat to my room. This repeats throughout the day moving the dang bird here and there as directed and returning to my room. Until I'm called unstuff and carve the still hot bird so there is enough for everyone that showed up to have some and I return to my room. Once the self serving calms down I emerge once again to fill my own plate and return to my room to eat it. Fed, I emerge once more to bring out my dirty dishes and return to my room.  I am usually done at this point. I say usually because last night Karen was plumb tuckered out after putting all but the turkey and cranberry sauce away so I let her go to her room and finished the rest of the cleanup including washing bowls used utensils, cooky sheets, and pots and pans. Washing down the counters and making the kitchen neat for making the morning coffee and breakfast.

You can't "manhandle" anything, lady! You have to womanwrestle things now.  :)

Hugs, Devlyn

But what if the awful experience is feeling left out to begin with? ;D

  There's always one troublemaker isn't there, Citified Ruffian?

She doesn't know yet. :laugh:

She's still a youngin yet. She will learn in time.

Huh I'm going to try this out for Xmas don't want any stinking docks... Wait I take that back but my family doesn't know about my stocking addiction...... Just need to find the perfect scapegoat to avoid the Fam. Hey Fam is maf backwards that's oddly fitting.
