Happy Thanksgiving! Please Don't Throw The Pumpkin Pie!

I think most people will agree that this has been a trying year for our country, but as we near the end of 2016, this may be a good time to stop and be grateful for what we have and look forward to a better year in 2017.

Whoops, scratch that.  This year, Thanksgiving is starting to look like it may be fraught with so much angst and stress, that on the one day when we should all come together,  our nation will probably be engaged in one gigantic food fight.. 

But on the other hand, it could be worse.  Some totally unexpected things could happen that would really screw up your holiday; and so, just to give you a forewarning of what  to keep an eye out for, I've compiled...

TOP 10 SIGNS YOU'RE HAVING A BAD THANKSGIVING

10) You're invited over to Bill and Hillary's for Thanksgiving dinner and Hillary begins the blessing with “I'm not sure how much we have to be thankful for this year”...
