Impending Sense of Dread

My parents have spent the last year redecorating their house, painting walls, putting in new floors, new lights and everything.  So, in a sense of self-congratualtions they decided to host Thanksgiving at their house for my mom's side of the family.  These relatives tend to be more spread out than my dad's family, so getting everyone together in one spot at any given time tends to be difficult.  

So, yay, I get to see some cousins I haven't seen in a while and I don't have to drive anywhere further than across town.  

However, somewhere along the way, my father's family decided to come to town as well to celebrate Thanksgiving.  For a little background, my dad's family is country folk, and my mom's family comes from the city.  We are talking about two groups of people with almost nothing in common and may not have interacted with each other since my parents got married almost three decades ago.

Needless to say, I will be drinking.

Hopefully, I can get in a few quick mobile posts during Thanksgiving, to fully capture the level of absurdity that will be my Thanksgiving.
