So the whole family togetherness and eating good food thing is nice. But the idea behind the Holiday? Total bullshit. When did Pilgrims and Indians ever sit down together and share a Thanksgiving meal? The only thing the Pilgrims did for the Indians was sell them Alcohol, guns, and trade them blankets filled with small pocks. I don’t understand why America still pushes these fake stories. It’s one thing to want a day where we reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for. That’s what Thanksgiving should be represented as. Now some bullshit to throw a little sugar on top of a genocide of an entire race of people. Full native Americans make up less than ONE percent of the people in this world.

What did you all do for the Holiday? I had dinner with my family and Justin. Nana cooked a bunch of food. Only one of my aunts ended up coming over though. My uncle Bobby’s been staying here so he was here. And now his daughter– my cousin Brooke is spending the night. Ryan’s still sick so he ended up taking a nap. Justin and I watched “Don’t mess with the Zohan” while Ryan was napping. I love Adam Sandler! The movie was hilarious. Now Ryan, Justin and I are playing Candyland and watching Southpark. I’m regretting not buying any champaign or cider jacks.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Yay! Justin’s coming to visit me next Friday! 
He’s flying into Boston and jumping on the Commuter Rail. I’m going to pick him up at the train station. Originally I was going to meet him at the airport and we were going to spend the night in Boston. My Mom has to work though so we had to put it off a night.
We’re spending Saturday night in Boston at a Hotel right on the Waterfront. We’ll probably spend Saturday around Newbury Street. I want to show Justin all the cool shops. We’ll also probably see the rest of the Freedom Trail that we didn’t get to finish last time he was here. Depending on weather we can stand to walk around in the freezing cold that long or not. It’s supposed to only be 30 degrees all week.
I also want to do the Ghost tour if we have the time and money. I’ve lived in Massachusetts my whole life but never gone on it. They go around to all the old cemeteries in Boston and tell creepy stories. We’ll probably go out to dinner Saturday night. I kind of want to eat dinner at The Dropkick Murphy’s bar. It opened last year but I haven’t got the chance to go yet. I’m not sure about that yet though. I’m just glad we’ll get to spend some time alone at the hotel. 
Sunday I think we’re going to the Museum of Fine Arts. I absolutely LOVE that place and haven’t got the chance to go in about ten years. Justin loves History as much as I do so I’d really like him to see it.
I’m so happy that I’ll get to spend Thanksgiving with him this year!
