TOP 10 LIST:

Thanksgiving is this Thursday...
 
TOP 10: THANKSGIVING DON'TS
 
1) No Unexpected Last Minute Guests: This is the absolute worst time to introduce your new boyfriend or girlfriend to your family. There are smelly grandparents, drunken aunts and uncles and crying babies just waiting to attack your hot new fling.
2) Don't show up empty handed. Bring an Appropriate Hostess Gift: Aunt Bertha does not want to receive a beer funnel and a pack of Solo cups from your ass. Bring her a nice bottle of wine.
3) Don’t Fight with Relatives: This is go time when it comes to sibling relations. Your brother or sister is your ultimate ally in the holiday season.
4) No Texting at the Table: This is a toughie, but it is do-able.
5) No Discussing Religion, Politics, or Grades: You’ll be sitting at a dinner table within slapping distance of every single one of your relatives, not to mention the sharp cutlery.
6) Don’t be a Pig: - No outbursts of gaseous matter, no discussing any bodily functions or fluids while seated at the dinner table
7) Don’t Insult the Food: No one gives two cents that you don’t like Aunt Sally’s broccoli and tuna casserole, or that it tastes like complete and utter garbage. This is Thanksgiving, and when it comes to the food it’s either nut up or shut up.
8) Don’t Show Up Hungover: This is a no brainer, no one wants to sit through seven hours of mandatory “family fun time”. Especially when you’re on the verge of puking out every one of your internal organs.
9) Don’t Get Stuck at the “Kids’ Table”: This is an easy “don’t”, to get sucked into.
10) Don't arrive late : - Everyone's starving. Your tardiness will not only mean a delay getting any food into their bellies, but the constant warming and rewarming will ruin what would've been a great meal for everyone.
