I love having thanksgiving at my parents place, but just once I want to be alone for Thanksgiving.

I want to buy a premade turkey dinner meal from the grocery store on thanksgiving day, eat it while drinking booze and watching movies, then go down to the bar and sit with other people who are alone. Preferably all this when it is lightly snowing outside.

It sucks because I will never get to do this. I can't just tell my family that I want to get drunk and eat a store bought meal by myself on Thanksgiving instead of driving to see them, they would be very worried.

Lie and tell then you have an internet girlfriend that you're going to see and that you're totally not gay.

Then sit at home and have thanksgiving alone.

Or take the next snowy day off work and just do it then.

When they're all dead you'll miss your time with them more than the time you spent alone.

It's not as nice as it seems. My dad's a pilot and my parents fight a lot, so Thanksgiving has been delayed or canceled frequently throughout my life.

Sitting at home alone on a cold day while everyone else is warm and eating a hearty meal with loved ones or friends is pretty depressing. Even if you make up for it another day, most everything is still closed and the only people at the bar have no family to speak of, so even your normally happy bar fly buddies have an air of sadness. And then the night is worse - everyone comes in for some drinks with friends who are in town, or before going out for Black Friday shopping.

Thanksgiving will be delayed for me this year... I suppose I could see if any friends have the space for me to join, but I hate to impose.

Don’t tell them that then they will start being faggots. Tell them you work with someone who tested positive and you have to stay in quarantine.

Skip the turkey, buy a rotisserie chicken from Costco.

This is the real answer here.

Nah, I'm a pretty happy dude, but my parents had no business getting remarried and I live in a city that's not very good for anyone who is down and out.

Allow me to summon a photograph of a 'thanksgiving alone' from years past for me. Pic related, enjoy.

I had it for years with my big extended family. I used to hate going to it and wasting my day off and wishing I could do what I want. Then as years went on, people got married and had thanksgiving elsewhere, people died it was just my parents, my sister, her husband and their two kids. Then my sister turned into a humongous bitch and stopped showing up so it was me my mom and dad. My dad died 2 years ago and my mom went to Europe to mourn so now I have no one. Last year I did it alone and sucked. I just realized I am going to spend Christmas alone. I just realize this is probably it till I die because I doubt I will ever find a woman. It's funny how it only took one lonely thanksgiving but I hate it and want to go back when it was my entire large family and my sister wasn't an alcoholic bitch.
