Mom Ruins Thanksgiving!

Well my own mother has potentially ruined one of biggest holidays in my life--Thanksgiving! It all started with a phone call a couple of weeks ago that informed me that my mother along with my oldest sister would be visiting for Thanksgiving. Wow! But then, my wife informed me that her mother was planning a visit during that same week. On top of that, my wife's relatives here in Atlanta suggested a needed change of venue and that's right, they chose my house to host their Thanksgiving feast.

Okay, so maybe I'm over reacting but these people eat chitterlings on Thanksgiving! I mean we as Americans only have two truly American holidays--Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July! Who in their right mind would mess up Thanksgiving by eating chitterlings next to the turkey and dressing with all the trimmings? And now with my mom bailing on me at the last minute sort of speak, I'm destined for another haphazard Thanksgiving mishap that may even rival the infamous "Turkey Leg" incident that occurred several years ago in Mobile during Thanksgiving!

Oh the shame, the pain, the agony!
