Thanksgiving

Turkey day arrives in just two weeks. The yearly dilemma of how to fit everyone in on the holiday is upon us. Mom wants you to come there for dinner, sister-in-law wants you to come there as well although she's cool with it if you can't. The thing is, you would rather go to her house than mom's, but you feel nagged by the guilt your mother will bestow upon you if you pass her over this year.

Maybe I'll call in sick for Thanksgiving. Is that allowed?
