Every year you tell yourself, “I’m not spending Thanksgiving alone…” And then, lo and behold, no one invites you to their big dumb feast, your family lives out of state, and your vegan cousin who lives in town texts you that, uh, sorry there won’t be enough Stuffed Tofurky to go around but maybe you can come next year? So you’re forced to load up on carbs and eat a turkey bacon sandwich at home with your cat Jeeves, who munches on Purina’s Chicken and Turkey cat food. Whatever the excuse, somehow you’re always lonely on Thanksgiving. Not this year!
Thank goodness my family lives in New York.
But if you’re one of these lonely people who texts all your friends every year, like “So…,” and you happen to live in Northville, Michigan, then maybe stop by George’s Senate Coney Island, which is advertising free Thanksgiving meals for homeless people, and for those without love in their life, on the best holiday of the year.
