Thanksgiving Fun For Banana Fans
Peelcasso
If you thought you knew how to host the perfect Thanksgiving, think again. In this article, we explore some familiar traditions we all know and hate, and give thanks to what’s important…yes, obviously I’m talking about bananas.
Picture Perfect
Thanksgiving is typically when a whole bunch of your extended family get together after a blissfully long time apart, so you’ll likely want to capture that precious moment in a photo together. We recommend that you snap a pic first thing when you’re still ripe and ready, you know, before all the arguments ensue after being driven round the bend. Don’t worry, you’ll remember soon enough why you only see these people once a year.
Feast On Fruit
Rummage through Grandma’s pantry and you’ll likely find all kinds of weird and wonderful relics of the past, that inevitably expired twenty-odd years ago. She’s probably got some incredible recipes she’s keen to share with you and pass down the generations. If you’re lucky, she’ll whip you up a batch of ham-banana casserole, a flavor sensation straight from the 70’s, that’s sure to tickle your tastebuds.
The Upsetting Announcement
Picture the scene, you’re all tolerating dinner through pained expressions, when one of your cousins decides it’s the perfect time to rub some salt in the wound, and announce something that’s bound to upset at least one family member. Or maybe someone slips up and reveals a spicy family secret after one too many banana-nogs. Bonus points if anyone gets up from the dinner table and storms out.
Shove It In Your Pie Hole
Once the dust has settled, it’s time for dessert. The mediator of the group will find themselves desperately trying to keep the peace as they portion out the pie. Oh you thought it was pumpkin pie? I don’t think so. We only have bananas in this house. If the table seems a little more empty than it did earlier, you’ll probably find Mom hiding in the bathroom holding back tears, and Dad in the garage getting squazzed with his secret whiskey stash.
Bananas Gone Wild
You’ve feasted on food, now it’s time to feast on fun. When the older folks are zonked out, having an afternoon nap after all those phenomenal ham-wrapped bananas, the party can really begin. Peel open a box of Fanatics Gone Bananas and take it in turns to serve up witty responses to entertaining prompts. A little later on when the kids are in bed, unsheath the 17+ rotten box, sit back and get a kick out of watching Grandpa go wild.
Ripe For Reflection
The worst is over, and you’ve got a whole year ahead of you until your peaceful sanctuary is intruded upon once again. So for now it’s time to lay back and embrace the sweet sweet sound of silence, where nobody can berate you about how you failed at life in excruciating detail, and how Cindy’s kids turned out better than you. Happy Thanksgiving!
