Yay For Thanksgiving

Not that I really like Thanksgiving anyway.
Not that's it even Thanksgiving yet.
It's just, I'm off from school until Monday now, and my house is set up for Thursday, so I'm ready for it. I like Thanksgiving but not because of the holiday itself...if that makes any sense. I like it because it's a short break from school, and my whole house changes. We have the family over our house on Thanksgiving and the kitchen table is moved next to the dining room table. Both of those are set up with fancy plates and glasses, and we take another table from the garage and move it into the place where the kitchen table used to be. I don't know why, but I like that. It's still the same house, but it has a different feel. I like the anticipation of waiting for company or waiting for a holiday to arrive. It's almost half the fun of the event itself.
I love the way my house feels afterwards, too. During the get together, everyone is loud (I mean, my family is Italian, we get pretty loud) and a little drunk. The football game is always on the television with the volume turned up too high because all the loud talking and lack of decent hearing in the older family members makes it impossible to hear. Everything is chaos, but it's a good sort of chaos, because there's nothing stressful about it. But once everyone leaves, it's like the whole house is taking this sigh of relief. My house still feels crowded even though it's empty and quiet, aside from the shuffling of my parents from room to room. It's the best time to watch a good movie and eat leftovers. Hahah.

On a random side note, I'm coughing my lungs up. I feel better, and my cold is going away for the MOST part, but the cough is sticking. My throat is just kind of tickly, and that's the worst.
And another random side note, I think everyone needs to go find tonight's episode of House and watch it. That is some intense shit right there. I was yelling at my television.
