Grunps everywhere -- even this one -- pause on this day to give thanks to the Creator for all the many blessings and bounty provided us every day of our lives.
Just for this day, at least, won't you join the gg in setting aside those negative feelings. Don't think about those small little nuisances that drive us grouches crazy on a daily basis. Because they are truly small and little, particularly when laid side by side by all of the things that make life worthwhile. Like peanut brittle, for instance.
So before you leave the dinner table today, lean over and let your Great Uncle Ned know that you still love him despite his having morphed into a Trumpie during the past year. Or tell your rebellious nephew Maurice that the world hasn't gone entirely to hell since Obama left office. But I suggest that you wait until the pie has been served and eaten before breaking this cardinal rule of Thanksgiving dinner.
And, speaking of dinner, I hear the missus gg announcing that it is now being served here in Grouchland.
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! But remember, it ends at midnight tonight. I expect to see all of you out there on Black Friday -- pushing and shoving and otherwise returning to your normal selves, as Grouches.
