"Hello, Dean."
"Castiel. Have you come to join us for dinner?"
"This body does not require sustenance."
"Huh. That's not what you said last year."
"I'm afraid I… Dean. Why do all these people eat the same meal?"
"It's Thanksgiving. We have a holiday tradition."
"So the people leave their homes to go in search of identical foods. I believe I have heard of this. It is called a zombie invasion."
"No. It's just—most people have Thanksgiving at home with their families. But some people like Sammy and me don't have homes, or maybe they're traveling like we are, so they—"
"Join the zombie hordes."
"No."
"What purpose does the red part serve? Does it symbolize blood?"
"It's cranberry sauce."
"Sauces are liquids, Dean. This is a solid."
"Just be glad it isn't a log. Hi, guys."
"Hello, Sam. I see you have also chosen to celebrate the zombie tradition."
"What zombies?"
"Enough with the zombies already, Cas! Are you eating with us or not?"
"I have not decided yet."
"Yeah? Well until then, decide somewhere else."
"As you wish…"
"Jeez, Dean, that was rude."
"Fine. Next time, you be the one to educate the angel about Thanksgiving."
"I'm sure it wasn't that bad."
"I lost my appetite for pie, Sam!"
"Oh. I stand corrected."
"Exactly. Let's sit over there."
"So what was that thing about zombies?"
"I swear to God, Sammy, the next person who talks about zombies is going to be wearing this pie."
"I see."
"Yeah."
"Well. Happy Thanksgiving then, Dean."
"Sure thing, Sammy. You too."

I miss getting together with my family at Thanksgiving (everyone but my brother is over the dreaded Siskiyou Summit on I-5, and we go up there for Christmas. Once is enough!)
My M-I-L used to host Thanksgiving here before she moved into a small apartment, and then passed away. For awhile, my B-I-L and his wife (also in town) would host it, but he's divorced now and their anniversary was right around Thanksgiving, so he also finds this time of year depressing.
And my S-I-L's are in the Bay Area, where the driving just isn't worth the door-to-door traffic jams. :0
But the ideal of it lives on!
