stuffing

Would anyone be opposed to changing the name of Thanksgiving to Stuffing? The whole giving thanks thing is usually an afterthought to – let’s face it – the gluttony that makes the day so magical. As Thanksgiving grows near, what do you look forward to – expressing what you are thankful for or eating yourself into a near-coma?

You stuff the turkey. You stuff yourself. You eat stuffing. Clearly there is a pattern here. The only real change necessary would be to replace the giving of thanks with the telling of tales of gluttony.

I once ate an entire box of Stove Top stuffing (off-season). Future generations would need to hear this anecdote annually and pass it down, embelishing throughout the years. After I die, my son would continue to tell the (true) story of how his father once ate three lobsters at a wedding. He might even bump it up to four.
