25 Things To Be Thankful For This Thanksgiving

It really sucks Kuwait's history doesn't involve pilgrims and Native Americans and turkeys; every time Thanksgiving rolls around, I get grumpy. I want gravy and green bean casserole and to do nothing but watch American football and beat up younger family members while crushing beer cans against my forehead.

Ah, yes, the American Thanksgiving, how I love it so. Despite the grumpiness, this is the time of year I like to focus on the things I am thankful for.

My loyal readers (hi, dad?) may notice I've cut my 'Thankful' list in half this year; take that as you will.

1. Good friends
