Kinda tired of celebrating genocide every year, so let’s imagine a world where you can replace the yearly genocide party with something else. What would you replace it with? What would you call it?

A holiday that normalizes playing board games with friends instead of eating dinner with families would be great. I feel like people eat meals with their families all the time, sometimes multiple times a day, but no one has time to play board games with their old pal Wertheimer anymore.
I’d sign up for this. Thanksgiving used to be this until all of my friends and family started having kids, now nobody has time for games anymore
I blame the “mobilization” of the internet for stealing attention away from everyone. Those who are young enough (thinking my kids here) won’t know what it is to be with friends and or family talking and playing board games for a few hours without micro interruptions. It was good while it lasted…
I haven’t been to my family’s for Thanksgiving since becoming an adult. Christmas is for my family, Thanksgiving is for friends. It’s genuinely weird to me that most people I know do see their parents on Thanksgiving.
I’ve known people who take airplane trips for both holidays to see the same family members! Genuinely weird, as you say. I guess there’s just enough time between the two for everyone to get over Covid so they can get it a second time.
