Has it been explicitly explained why Bob loves Thanksgiving? I don't think so.

Here's my HC:

I imagine Bob's mum (Lily) didn't get to cook too much around the house because Big Bob loved to cook for her. BUT Thanksgiving was important to her and she loved to cook a big meal for her family. It was a time when Bob and his mum would spend a lot of time cooking together, she would talk to the food like he now does, she made voices for the turkey baster etc.

Now, Thanksgiving has extreme significance to Bob, and he keeps trying to get his kids to want to help him in the kitchen like he helped his mum. He wants to build traditions with them like the memories he has with his mother. (Unfortunately we all know how that turns out cause Bob does take after his father whether he wants to acknowledge this or not and is quite particular about his cooking and especially Thanksgiving.)

My family was supposed to all be out of town by now, but Stuff happened and they're not leaving til next week.

Asked my mom on Sunday if we were going to do any kind of Thanksgiving and she was like "Oh I bought sliced turkey at the deli!" Me: lol no

Spent an hour or so googling for options and H.E.B. (Texas grocery chain) had a full Thanksgiving dinner for four (4 - 6 lb Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, gravy and real cranberry sauce), all pre-cooked, and for under $100. Just unbox, stick it in the oven for an hour, and voila, easy dinner.

So I ordered that. They bought some pie when they went to Walmart, mom's making bread from scratch because she loves using her Kitchenaid stand mixer for bread, I bought a little cheese tray for appetizers, and we've got the easiest Thanksgiving ever for four.

Went to pick it up and:

A) Forgot that everyone gets out of work early today thus getting on the road at 2pm was like usually getting on the road at 5pm, especially heading away from downtown.

B) Forgot how far this grocery store was. I used to work right by there and completely forgot how much I hated that commute. I took the tollways. Worth it.

C) HOLY CRAP the grocery store parking lot was like Mad Max. Trying to get in and this idiot cut me off badly before getting into the parking lot, then I guess they got scared when I followed them into the parking lot and were driving erratically trying to get away from me? Even though I was just, you know, being normal. Maybe they were just THAT dumb. Then they nearly hit a family on foot while making a shitty blind turn. Terrifying. I offered the family my dashcam footage, but since nobody was hurt and they were leaving, they just wanted to get out.

D) CANNOT IMAGINE what it was like in that store, the parking lot looked FULL full. Thank the retail gods for curbside pickup. Didn't have to get out of the car. Wasn't allowed to tip the girl who brought the groceries out. =\ Only downside is that I'd ordered an extra side of pre-made Parmesan Garlic carrots for more veggies. They substituted the carrots for more green beans. Nobody in my family likes green beans much already. :p

E) Driving home was almost as bad, but traffic was better going south.

F) Thought it would take me 45 minutes. Entire trip took an hour and a half. Glad to be home.

G) I hate putting groceries away. The box with dinner juuuuust barely fits in my fridge. I had to duct tape the door shut. No, I'm not kidding. :D IT'S FINE. It's for like, 18 hours!

"Who’s in charge of the turkey?” North held up a carrier with a live turkey

"North we're not going to eat that turkey...." Connor didn't feel right meeting his food so.... personally. Seeing something live only to be eating it in a few hours... Carter, on the other hand, had no reservations. "I'll take care of it!!!"

I know you're too Scottish to celebrate Thanksgiving, but I wanted you to know I'm thankful for you. You're one of my favourite writers and best pals.. You're the Besther and I love you lots 💙

That's so gay 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 😜

But truthfully, you're one of my best mates, James - you're funny and thoughtfully and immensely talented, and I'm ever so grateful that you're my friend 💙

The best thing about my mom's extended family gatherings is that for the past few years now since my uncle and his partner have been out (after 15+ years together) and my cousin is too, the environment is totally different and relaxed and no one pressures me about if I'm dating anyone and they don't ask about school/life stuff unless I initiate it and we just watch the lion's (WHO WON!!!) and eat great food and drink wine and I actually feel totally content. I'm super thankful for my whole family this year, today was such a nice day and I needed it ☺️

"Food!!!” - From Deviant Connor

Hank chuckles "For an android, you sure are excited for the eating part of Thanksgiving...so uh...do you eat? Ooooor?" Yeah, wait until Thanksgiving morning to ask someone about food. So Hank wasn't good at planning. But he had more than enough food (part of Thanksgiving was the leftovers after all). Plus there was no way just him and Cole could eat that entire turkey...

[anderson-residence]

What are you thankful for Hank? (post game)

"Plenty of things I guess." There were a lot of good things in his life. Connor had become part of his family and given him something to live for (and help him drag his ass to therapy) things were looking up.

If my dads family asks "So, what have you been doing lately?" I'm gonna do/say one of the following:

"Sin"

*Pulls out drawing notebook out of nowhere*

"I've been doodling skeletons. I actually have a skeleTON of em now."

[grimlock]
