A Guide To Surviving Straggler Thanksgiving
DVDs
In lieu of family small talk or long digestive walks, you have license to sit, snack and watch movies all day. Get your Netflix queue in order now. Miracle on 34th St., Die Hard and Planes, Traines and Automobiles are obvious options if you’re staying on-theme. The second Addams Family movie has that great Thanksgiving pageant where wealthy children are burned to death which is fun, too.
But really, watch whatever the hell you want. You’re an adult, on your own, you bow to no one (other than the people you decided to spend the day with I guess). Just avoid anything that’s legitimately sad, like It’s A Wonderful Life. Your loved ones are far away, and this movie might break you today.
