happy turkey day

To all my mates in the U.S & Canada,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

For all my mates everywhere else whoa re all like, WTF Jen?

Thanksgiving Day is  is a harvest festival celebration

Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general

The Pilgrims were the first to celebrate it a gazillion years ago

Oh yeah, and it’s also one of those pile on the pounds eating holidays

Where family get together and eats themselves into a coma

I like to think of it as my Christmas training

I’m a big fan

I asked the girls on Skype what they are thankful for this year

Miss 6: I’m thankful that you’re my mummy and that when you get home, you’re going to teach me to sew and we can bake together and go to the library

What is this fuckery?

Miss 4: I’m thankful that it’s Christmas soon and I can get more stuff. And that I’m so beautiful

Ih yeah, this one’s definitely mine

And Diamond?

He’s thankful I’m coming home Monday

Although, I think he’s thankful in a, thank-fucking-god-’cause-I’m about-to-keel-over-from-exhaustion-these-kids-never-sleep-and-I’ve’run-out-of-beer-for-fuck’s-sake kinda way

.

I couldn’t find a turkey

Will this do?

And there’s probably not going to be much of a feast today, as we’re back on the road headed to Dublin

But I can still be thankful

And this year?

I’m thankful for my amazing family even the wacked out ones

Our health

Our happiness

And really thankful that I get to do what I love

.

Oh yeah, and again this year I’m thankful that my boobs don’t sag down to my knees

‘Cause I know that shit’s going to start happening sooner or later

I’m just thankful it’s not yet
