Someone Asks People To Share “Juicy Thanksgiving Drama”, And 50 Deliver

Nothing serious.. We're celebrating Saturday and Grandma (90) is concerned about the turkey being spatchcocked, because it cooks in only 2 hours and she's used to waking up at 2AM to start it cooking to be ready by noon. Hers is normally extremely greasy on the bottom and dried out in the breasts. She is unsure if this way will taste as good, but she was very sweet to being open to let us try it this way.

I was mildly irritated by catching her licking the spoon multiple times while scooping mashed potatoes from the mixer into a bowl (she didn't realize anyone was in the room bc she can't hear anymore), but I didn't say anything cuz I love her and I didn't want to hurt her feelings 😕

My mom can’t accept that my siblings and I have gone NC with our dad, who is an addict (allegedly he’s a couple weeks clean atm). She’s tried to guilt us into talking to him “because it’s Thanksgiving and it would encourage him” if we could call and talk to him. But sorry mom, that’s not what NC means.

The power went out at my mom's house 20 degrees before the turkey was done cooking. We kept the oven shut, and it kept cooking. The breast got to temp, but the thighs and other dark meat didn't. My parents have a solar battery that had enough power for the microwave, so we microwaved the candied yams and reheated the stuffing in there (it was... Ok lol). We couldn't postpone dinner because several people had a second thanksgiving to get to later, and one aunt had to leave before dark. Thankfully the power came back on right as we were sitting down to eat, because my legally blind grandma wouldn't stop complaining about how dark it was. Could have been worse, but it was stressful for a hot minute.

I have a cousin who’s been getting a bit too close to another cousin every time we have our biannual family thanksgiving reunion. They’ve caught them in a closet a few times and she always runs off with him. The guy cousin, here’s the kicker, has like 5 duis right now. So while obviously we are worried about the odd incest going on, the best way to get her away from her own cousin is to keep bringing up he has duis so she shouldn’t go alone with him in a car.

My SIL who claims to not be drinking showed up with liquor in her water bottle and got belligerent.

My father wouldn't come to the table to eat, because my mother criticized his gravy. Had to play moderator to some grown adults so they could sit down to eat and be civil humans.

My cousin announced he was a wear-wolf. Like full on…wear-wolf gloves and all. No joke.

I found out those mashed potatoes my uncle had been making by hand all these years are actually store bought.

My dog rolled around in raw sewage that had leaked from my wife's aunt's septic tank.

My neighbor’s son was stabbed in jail cause he won a game of dominoes and the other guy got mad.
