• the pilgrim thing is all made up anyway
  • it makes more sense to have a feast to celebrate getting thru the winter than just right before it
  • similarly it makes sense to stockpile some treats and extras thru the winter just in case (in the old days like of a famine)
  • right now Jan and Feb are bleak awful fucking months with nothing to look forward to
  • you see family during christmas anyway why do it in november too
