Hey, you!

Anyone want the Gorillabuns household to come and spend Thanksgiving with YOU and YOURS? We'll bring the wine/booze if you can handle us since we aren't really up to tradition this year. Come to think of it, who wants us to visit during Christmas? This is REALLY the time when we are going to be a lively bunch. If anything, we'll make great fodder for your subsequent conversations with friends and foe.

"Whew! We thought we were a fucked up mess but THOSE people take the proverbial cake!"

Oh, honey, you can come to our house. But I have a feeling you'll want to shove forks in your eyes after spending time with our family. Immediate family, not so bad (if you don't count my two ungrateful step-children or my step-son --the nice one-- and daughter in law's shedding beagle mix.) But extended family? Will make you feel good about yourself. Seriously. My mother-in-law? Stole my son's liquid tylenol-3 after he had his tonsils out at age 7. When he REALLY needed it. And my mom? Still to this day defends my pedophile brother who used to molest me and ended up marrying a barely legal girl, 12 years younger than himself who looks like she's about 12. Both the fathers hide their heads in the sand or complain to me if I'm close enough to hear.

I'm telling you, good times! Come, join us. You'll leave feeling very superior.

I second the Chicago suggestion from Lisa!

[Heather Marie]

Come on over! Bring the whole brood! We would LOVE to have you here and spend some fun times with us! Holidays are not much fun without somebody to share a laugh or 2 with.

[sizzle]

You know that I would actually LOVE it if I ever got to meet you. How many years has it been? When I have an actual house to host you all, the whole family better come for a visit!

[heather...]

Come on over. Srsly. It's a sad-sack Christmas Charlie Brown!

[laura]

more then welcome here in NJ, and we are only 20 minutes from Atlantic City, shit forget the turkey we can just go party!!! love and hugs

[Michele]

Hey! THe more the merrier!

[Aunt Becky]

Fuck yeah. Come on over, baby.

[Kristie]

Hey, I'd love to have you, and I'm actually local so you could really come! The good news is my sister is hosting and she has ten acres in El Reno, so your girls would have a blast running around with my kids and their cousins. The bad news is my sister is hosting and neither she nor her husband drink, or allow alcohol in their home. So I'm guessing you'll pass ....???? :)

Come on down (up whatever) to Chicago for Thanksgiving. My Grandparents drive the whole family to drink.

No. Really. We buy champagne by the case for this specific holiday.

Well, we're having a non-traditional Christmas, since my husband will be in Afghanistan. I'd be happy for an influx of booze, if you wanna come here!

[Martha]

Ventura, Ca here...we're doing ours on Saturday after. Come on over. Plenty of noise and liquor, but more is always good! :-)

[gracemonk]

Yes. You are welcome for both holidays. The house is tiny, but you're still welcome. Hope you like pie.

[Hollie]

I always welcome craziness to my house :)

[Suze]

Come on down. You better leave now though to get here by Thursday. Also, don't worry about the booze. Have plenty and even have a babysitter :)

Idaho is beautiful this time of year (well, not really, but I still like it).

And, if you come, you might get to see my stepmother-in-law wear her gold, lame (how do you put the accent over the "e"?)jacket.

I'm not kidding. It would really, really cheer you up.

[Alisa White]

I completely understand on wanting to do something different...........it seems like you have a lot of different choices to choose from!! If Minnesota sounds like a good place to spend Thanksgiving, then you are welcome at our house!

[sassy]

Of course. Anytime, but if you can handle the ticket to France, I'll get the wine & booze. Dealio?

[K]

Well, I'm currently weighing a holiday with my BF (who may or may not be in the process of breaking up with me), his parents (his mom's a shrink and his dad's an unemployed lawyer and teetotaler) and his mother's personal psychic and clairvoyant (yes, you read that right) against sitting on my couch alone drinking boxed wine from Costco and watching a bunch of shitty Christmas movies while missing my own whacktacular family who is 2,500 miles away.

So. Why don't you come here and we can see what happens when you combine a psychiatrist, a psychic, and some psychos?

(P.S. I don't really think you're psycho. Was going for wordplay.)

[Vicky]

Well, for Thanksgiving, I'm actually going to be in your neck of the woods. Sorta,,, Tulsa. I wouldn't subject you to my crazy extended family though.

However, you could come down to Houston for Christmas. We're kinduva bah-humbug bunch. I won't even decorate. But you are welcome if you want to come. We're going to make a big dinner even though it will likely just be 3 of us.

[Stacey]

We'd be happy to host you! I'm making a 20 pounder for only 3 adults, 2 kids and a toddler. Am I an idiot, or what?

[LA]

Thanksgiving in Alabama - Cool! Bring your shrine AND your kids and come on down!!!

[Lisa M]

Well, you aren't alone in wanting to take a break from the holiday pattern and do something different. We're doing the same, at least with my side of the family. Have had a rough year of it with all (or almost all) of them and I can't make nice and pretend everything's ok for one day or one month. So we're on our own that day. You're welcome to join us in Northern Chicago. (But if I were you, I'd take up that offer for Hong Kong or some other exotic or at least warm locale).
I hope God gives you joy in the the everyday moments this holiday, and that you and yours can just live in the present for a time. As much as life can break your heart, it's still a very good thing to be alive.

You'd be welcome at my place for Turkey Day! Since 2 of my sisters and both nieces are going to AL to visit another sister, the place will seem a bit off. But my brothers, SIL, future SIL, crazy Nana, an Aunt, and couple uncles will be there so booze is definitely warranted. Plus we're drinkers so bringing booze would make you honorary family for life!

Dude, I'm grillin' homemade pizzas. Stop on by!
