it's no joke that i love myself a good ol' holiday that is intended to not only give us hard working canadians a day off of the 9-5 slog we call our lives (us 24hr-ers don't really get the same effect, but it kinda rubs off on us). that one extra day off often turns a two-day weekend full of errands and chores into a three-day weekend of debauchery, overconsumption of consumer goods and food and wine wine wine, as well as other things like an extra dose of fibre, hockey watching (not me), and nature walks (also not me).i don't love thanksgiving all that much, but i do love the fall foods and the reminder that yet again we're still colonizing. is deciding not to eat turkey on this holiday a way to take a stand against our colonizing acts? i have no idea, really, but wish it was recognized more as a marker of the dastardly ways we as a historical and current identity engage with the nations that have been colonized here.
on another note, fall and winter are settling in. the yard needs to be raked (terribly), and i made my first batch of homemade yoghurt. it totally needed to stand for another two hours. but i'm in love. this shit is good. and cheap!
off to stitch n bitch, wine acquisitioning, and thanksgivinginging.
p.s.. just searched etsy with the term "thanksgiving yarn" and got this. gobble gobble.
