I don't like Thanksgiving.

There.

I said it.

Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday.

Why? Here are 5 reasons why Thanksgiving is the worst:

1. Thanksgiving Turkey: I would love to meet someone that actually likes turkey. You know and I know that turkey is NOBODY'S favorite part of Thanksgiving. Now, I am a pollotarian (meaning I only eat poultry or bird meat), but turkey meat is just not good any way you slice it.

Side note: who decided that the turkey got to be the mascot for an entire holiday?

2. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: Truthfully, most years I sleep in on Thanksgiving and end up missing the entire parade. But those few times I have seen it, it was definitely not worth waking up from a deep slumber for. In recent years, it has just turned into me live-tweeting about the awful lip-syncing performances and insanely creepy over-sized balloons and that creepy animatronic turkey float that they have every year.

3. It lives in the constant shadow of it's cooler older sibling a.k.a. Black Friday: Everyone in America knows that the Friday after Thanksgiving is everyone's favorite unofficial holiday, Black Friday. A shopaholic's dream and a retail worker's worst nightmare. Though it is a crazy consumer-driven holiday where PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIE, it is true that more people get excited about Black Friday deals than their stupid Thanksgiving Turkey.

4. Historically speaking, it's low-key insane to call it a holiday: To put it simply without starting an uprising, the Pilgrims, and the Native Americans were not necessarily best friends. Do a little bit of research and you'll know what I'm talking about (the same thing goes for Columbus Day, what a joke of a holiday). Also, watch the Thanksgiving scene from Addams Family Values and you'll understand. (Actually, just watch the whole movie because it's great.)

5. MASHED POTATOES:WHY WOULD YOU TAKE A PERFECTLY GOOD VEGETABLE AND MASH IT UP TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE BABY FOOD? It's like eating savory applesauce, which is not okay.

Let's end on a positive, one thing I actually like about Thanksgiving?

After all the leftovers have been placed in the fridge, it is then socially acceptable for me to put up the Christmas tree, throw candy canes and glitter everywhere, and bump Christmas music. It's all worth it in the end.
