Only had proper Influenza 4 times and all of them knocked me out for a fortnight. One of them over Christmas as an adult but my mum and Grandma loved Christmas so much I didn't want to let them down. In the 90 minute journey I threw up twice in a bag I'd pre prepared in case because the cough was so bad, I couldn't keep anything down. I think it was sheer determination that got me through a 4 course meal.

I wouldn't have gone if I was still contagious obviously but all I wanted was to lay on the sofa at home watching crap telly rather than getting dolled up to go to a fancy restaurant miles away.

It's funny, in my life I have had it maybe 5 times. and I can remember the hell of each time lol. As a young adult we were burning the candle at both ends. Working, partying, lack of sleep. Kills your immune system so when a bug is going around, it knocks you on your ass.

Probably just spending all of them alone tbh. I don't think much is worse than trying to fill the day with YouTube videos or whatever, and forget that most people in the world have someone to spend it with.

Although the year my wife left me, that happened right around Thanksgiving. That one was the worst I think. Just sat at home with a bottle of jack drinking myself sick while the same movie played on cable over and over again. It was like groundhogs day in hell.

You don’t have any family at all?
 
I've probably had blazing arguments with my brother, but I don't remember them over the Christmas period.

Worst was probably being laid up for two weeks with the flu. Just lying in bed all day, sweating, headaches and, aside from the odd, epic trip to the bathroom and back, being completely incapacitated. Rich tea and water was a godsend.
 
My wife's fat, annoying, cousin tends to ruin most family things because there's a limit to dealing with her. But I guess that's just because I can't stand her, and in god's infinite sense of humor, she likes to talk to me. Anything near the beach or a pool, she'll break out the one piece swimsuit that is stretched to maximum tension.

One year, a bunch of us are all drinking in the pool at a 4th of July barbecue. I thought some clouds were overhead, but it's just her standing behind us. Well, part of her twat was just hanging out there. I guess even her puss needs to be constantly eating something. Looked like a bull mastiff somehow stretched a leotard over half its face with a giant bean bag on its head. Only visible to us pool goers maybe because her gut ran enough cover for those topside? My brother's already drunk and kept screaming "someone needs to go repack their chute!" and she's oblivious. I just said "Jesus christ, go take care of that" and pointed. She started screaming OMG and laughing like a hyena and fixing her shit right there for the world to see. I gave her a GranTorino.gif and walked to the deep end thinking about drowning myself after that.

You think that's bad.... At my Thanksgiving, the meat was done and sitting on the table and I kept trying to round everyone up to come sit down, and then people were like, "oh I just need to use the bathroom first" or "oh the meat's done? Let me put the biscuits in the oven" or "gee l'll start mashing the potatoes then"

I'm like, you fuckers should have been doing that shit already! I told you what time the meat would be done! I just wanted to have one meal where we eat before it gets cold! I put all this fucking effort into making it perfect and you assholes are just going to stall until it's room temperature!

Sorry dude that’s horrible
 
Being stuck in garrison on duty alone for thanksgiving. Had to find a schlotskys ran by Indians that was actually opened and bought a turkey sub..depressing. At least being deployed you get to be miserable together eating shity turkey off a styrofoam tray.
 
Was driving the day before Thanksgiving from St Louis to Chicago to visit friends and family for a fews days... Want to say back in about 2005 or 2006.

Started off as rain leaving St Louis... Then turned to freezing rain.. then turned to snow. Mind you I was driving a 2001 Camaro SS at the time.

About 100 miles in, I was seeing cars off the side of the highway left and right. About 125 miles into my trip, I was taking a mild curve and lost the back end of the car. Couldn't correct it, and I became one of those people off the road. Fortunately I went into a shallow ditch between north and southbound traffic and there was no trees or anything in the ground. No damage to the car.

I ended up getting a ride from a state trooper to the nearest truck stop.... And proceeded to wait 12 hours for a truck because they were so busy pulling cars back to the road

I got back on the road so late that I had to stop 30 miles north and get a hotel to try to get some sleep before driving another 2.5 hours north.

Split into three groups: The Dead (an aunt and my father that I know of). People that hate me or don't give a shit: (my mother and stepfather) and People I don't have contact info for and haven't spoken to in 35 years, because there was a falling out when I was a kid and my mom cut off contact with them (My grandparents, aunts, and cousins on my mom's side and everyone on my dad's side of the family including my sister I never met)

Wasnt on Thanksgiving but on Christmas 15yrs ish ago.

My aunt made a joke about me fckng my girl cousin in HS. (At the time of the fckng, I didn't know we were cousin)

My religious grandma who didn't knew yelled at me and everybody for thinking this was funny.

It took her a couples of months for her to get over it lol.

She passed away a few years after this and we laugh about this at every family reunion on Christmas since.

My friends call this story,
The Sonny-ess story ever btw.

Not me but my second cousins lost their mom (my first cousin, once removed) on Christmas morning. It was just the three of them for a long time and they had been through a lot. Brain cancer was the last thing on that list.
