Holidays

Getting together with extended family to overeat and overdrink around the holidays may seem like a good idea in theory. But as everyone knows, it&#39;s often a recipe for disaster. And Thanksgiving is particularly notorious for stoking the flames of family drama. It seems there&#39;s no amount of tryptophan strong enough to subdue the long-simmering resentments of family members who haven&#39;t been in the same room for a while.In a popular Reddit thread, someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/r29e8f/what_was_your_thanksgiving_drama_this_year/" target="_blank">asked</a>: &quot;What was your thanksgiving drama this year?&quot;<h2>These 27 people spilled the tea on the messy and salacious drama that went down this past weekend:</h2>1.)

27 people share the drama that went down at their Thanksgiving this year.

Getting together with extended family to overeat and overdrink around the holidays may seem like a good idea in theory. But as everyone knows, it&#39;s often a recipe for disaster. And Thanksgiving is particularly notorious for stoking the flames of family drama. It seems there&#39;s no amount of tryptophan strong enough to subdue the long-simmering resentments of family members who haven&#39;t been in the same room for a while.In a popular Reddit thread, someone asked: &quot;What was your thanksgiving drama this year?&quot;These 27 people spilled the tea on the messy and salacious drama that went down this past weekend:1.)

My brother congratulated her on being the first person in our family to graduate college without getting pregnant. Turns out that&#39;s not true.

We have looked absolutely everywhere there is to look and it&#39;s just gone. 9 people seriously questioning their sanity now. There are lots of things that could have happened to the yams themselves, but the bowl being missing is a real head scratcher. 3.)
