Pre-Thanksgiving Giving the 10 year anniversary




The above picture pretty much sums up my life right now.  If I’m not dedicating my time to being a human pillow for every child to lay on, I’m either working my 9:00 to 5:00, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, taking care of the yard or spending much needed time in my newly coined man cave (my garage) tossing around heavy weights sans kids or dime piece A.KA. wife.  My work and garage have now become my sanctuary for peace and quiet.  Though I do love my family.  I really do….. promise =)  Needless to say, time is not on my side nowadays.  My days are jam packed and planned out maximize every second.  There just aren’t enough hours/minutes in the day to do everything.  Hence my lack luster communication and build up to this, our 10th anniversary of Pre-Thanksgiving Giving!  Regardless, that’s not an excuse and you, my Turkey Gobblers, deserve better.  While you most definitely deserved better from me in this build up, I can promise you one thing.  There will be no let down this year.  You have come to expect greatness and greatness I will give you!  As noted in previous years, when times are tough I always tell my lady one thing, “We are Smiths and we piss excellence!”.  So I’m going to whip it out piss all over this party and make it a year to remember!!!  Bam!!!

Welcome to the 2015 Pre-Thanksgiving Giving!  Our 10 year anniversary!  My oh my how far we have come.  If you would like to familiarize yourself with  a brief history of the past 10 years, look no further than the last post here and enjoy rotting your brain away.  This year will be no different than years past.  You can expect to see everything you have come to love about Pre-Thanksgving.  Tons of mind blowing food, booze and of course, last year’s new addition of the talent show.  That’s right!  The Talent Show is back!  So bring you’re A game and whatever ridiculous talent you would like to present.  The dumber the talent, the better. 

I hope everyone has been thinking about their dishes and practicing their talents.  If not, you suck.  Regardless, I look forward to seeing everyone Saturday night and can’t wait to make this another year to remember!

Rules
  1. This rule here is the beauty of Pre-Thanksgiving Giving.  Everyone brings a dish to be passed around.  Everything eaten at Pre-Thanksgiving Giving MUST be homemade. This is the biggest rule of all.   Don’t even try to pass off something at this party as homemade when you actually bought it from a store.  That’s grounds for getting pointed and laughed at the whole night.  Trust me, I can tell if you made it or not.  Even if your dish tastes like crap, bring it!  We might make fun of  you a little bit but I’m sure you will have a good story about why it sucks.  
  2. Everyone must bring a bottle of wine, or some kind of alcohol, to be passed around.  
  3. You must eat.  And by eat, I mean A LOT!  Second and third helpings of dinner are a must.  You will be applauded for your efforts 
  4. Awards.  Awards will be voted on and determined by you.  We will announce winners at the end of the night for the following categories:
    1. Best Overall Dish
    2. Best Entree
    3. Best App
    4. Best Dessert
Look at those rules.  Study them and execute them with excellence.  You vets.  Look at the those rules to remind yourself what is expected of you.  We all piss excellence on this day so feel free to pee all over your dishes if you would like.
