Personal Thanksgiving

Started in Philadelphia, PA in 2013 in response to shopping and traveling ruining regular Thanksgiving. It takes place the Saturday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday. You buy a Turkey for yourself (>8lbs) and make all the fixins. It is a day/meal for no guests and you have to be at home. You can share, but only if the person lives in the place where you live.

You eat Turkey and stuffing, drink, play video games and just have a quiet peaceful day of normality with the people that are literally closest to you (in your place of residence) and reflect on what you are secretly and personally thankful for without the BS. The true meaning of Personal Thanksgiving is selfishness and all-around laziness.

I can't wait to not see any of these people at Personal Thanksgiving.

selfgiving

A personal holiday. The holiday has all the food of Thanksgiving, but it's focus is around

one person; yourself. To celebrate, one makes themselves a full turkey dinner and sides - but shares it with no one. Selfgiving was created because a man in Philadelphia, PA was tired of sharing Thanksgiving and getting screwed on leftover portions. Admittedly, Selfgiving has an unfortunate name. But who cares? It's all about you.

This weekend I am celebrating Selfgiving, and you're not invited.
