The Thanksgiving Fairy
I am leaving for my family’s Thanksgiving festitivies shortly. I will be gone for a few days, and I don’t know whether I’ll be able to sneak away to my laptop to post during that time. Hopefully there won’t be anything post-worthy (see above link). And if there is, hopefully I’ll be too busy giggling at every thing my father and brothers say as we pass around the fifth of Jack Daniels I’m packing.
So while I’m gone, here’s a little something I wrote out especially for all those people who are a little afraid of facing their families (or complex carbohydrates or whatever your demon is) and could use a little Thanksgiving miracle to make it all go smoothly:
Easter has the Easter Bunny, Christmas has Santa Claus (and Charlie Brown and Chevy Chase), Halloween has evil cats (and The Simpsons), I think Thanksgiving needs a magical spirit behind it as well. Thus I create for you…
