Oh, Q... you certainly have every reason to be unhappy about this holiday.

I can't help you with hating Thanksgiving, it is probably the only holiday I like. There is no candy (hate candy) no presents (no disappointments) and no staying up late with too much noise (hate big parties).
I do hate it when I have to go to my in-laws for Thanksgiving, because I hate eating crappy food. It is a waste of a good holiday.
