“We don’t celebrate thanksgiving, but..”

This year my PIMI husband didn't even have it in him to give the usual "we don't celebrate Thanksgiving" thing to the people we came across while we were out. He just said "we had a nice time with our family"...

He told me later that he realized it sometimes seems really ridiculous to say that when we still do stuff on thanksgiving break and that's all people are really asking about.

It is absolutely ridiculous. If witnesses were honest, this would be what they would say "well we don't celebrate thanksgiving. But we still hung out with our families because we had the time off. And we had turkey, but on Friday, and only because it was on sale.... Yeah we watched the parade, but only because we enjoy the fanfare of giant floats and balloons.... The one thing we didn't do was appreciate things and talk about what we are grateful for, because that would be way too close to satans system of things..."

Well done guys, well done.
