My reasons for hating Thanksgiving are predominantly personal - I've had some pretty bad Thanksgivings in my time, in part because I've been a vegetarian since I was 3 and I had family members who took great offense to my choice. So I've come to associate the holiday with a lot of stress (not this year, Kol, Fyre, and I are having a par-tay).

Other than that, it's exactly as you say, if they could take the pilgrims/natives playing nice away as the centerpiece myth, then having a day to spend with your family is awesome.

I am kinda really shocked that your school went with the whitewashed play after teaching you so much about actual Indian history. da fuck.
