The Signs at Thanksgiving

Aries: Constantly bugging the cook, "Is it time to eat yet??"

Taurus: Indulges in pre-dinner snack foods and naps in front of the TV. Always having to be told to get fingers out of whatever the cook is making but always ready to be a taster.

Gemini:
young: Engages in intellectual conversations with the older relatives until they become cranky with confusion.
adult: orchestrates all kitchen maneuvers in 5 acts with appropriate costume changes. Reminisces while watching younger Gemini's in action.

Cancer: Hovers around the guests making sure everyone's tea glasses are filled.

Leo: Takes any chance to tell everyone it's their prized recipe they're eating.

Virgo: Constantly giving the cook advice. Attempts to rearrange the kitchen for better efficiency at least 8 times even though it is not THEIR kitchen.

Libra: Mediates ancient family arguments.

Scorpio:
young: Makes visceral comments about the appearances of the food in an effort to gross everyone out and stares morosely at hated relatives.
adult: Sits around making sure that they look better/wiser/sexier than any guests OR the bird!

Sagittarius: Argues with other relatives over whether the TV is to be used for football or video games.

Capricorn: Tries to come up with the most efficient way to engineer the turkey, from basting to carving.

Aquarius: Stays in room surfing until it's time for dinner.

Pisces: Sleeps all day and wonders upon awaking why the whole family is in the house and what's with all the food?

Feel free to create your own list! This ought to be fun!

I see the Sag more talking and in conversation, then oops! burning the food! lol! (my mother)

Loved this !

"Capricorn: Tries to come up with the most efficient way to engineer the turkey, from basting to carving."

YES, YES. And most efficient means of prepping/cooking everything so it pretty much is ready at the same time. I swear I map everything out in my head before hand no matter what I'm preparing.

And, if not making it all, coordinates who's bringing what but prefers to do it all themselves lest it not be done just right.

I am going elsewhere for TG (to my daughter's BF's mother's). I will probably cook it all and tote it over. I don't want no dry turkey (besides I'll use the frame for soup - NO waste!), stuffing takes prep work (no Stovetop), I don't want my potatoes to be instant, I can rock some homemade gravy, I don't like frozen pumpkin pie, I prefer baked sweet potatoes over casserole and whatever else they needs to be cooked I most certainly can prepare better than someone who eats primarily out of boxes and cans! Ok, I'll relinquish some control, I'll allow his mother to be in charge of the corn, how can she mess that up? Actually, I think the kids want sweet potato casserole along with green bean casserole. Maybe I'll send them to his mom's to make themselves as I won't be eating it, so I don't care how it turns out...

I hate the holidays!

I'm like this too. And actually, I'd rather just do it all by myself. People mean well, but they mess up my system.

EXACTLY!

So true!

My Virgo ex would do this when we would have dinner at my Gemini friend's house-- he would even start seasoning the food she was cooking.

Drove her up the wall. 😛

Who would be the cook? Cancer? Scorpio?

Scorpio
young: sits in the corner, stares, doesn't a word.
adult: sits in the corner, stares, doesn't say a word except "when are we gonna eat the d*mn bird?"

Lol aqua is true. Disappearing acts galore!

Instead of surfing, mine's found a TV in a back room and watching football. 🙂

Libra or Capricorn don't want anybody else messing up their perfect meal.

Between cancer and Scorpio, cancer hands down. The scorpios in my family just sit around critiquing the work everybody else is doing.

I read that earth signs are great cooks, but all the Taureans I know hate it.

The best meal I've ever had was made by a Gemini, so maybe Librans have potential as well :]

Capricorn: sits and tries to catch up ,everyone that's around, on the latest gossip about a family member that is not present in the party

While Gemini and libra eat it all up

Scorpio goes and looks for the sleepy Pisces so they can make so cool cocktails to get the party started

My Aquarius brother would be watching football. i'm usually helping Mom an Aries in the kitchen while we recreate my grandmother's a Gemini's awesome recipes.

I suppose I match Pisces in the sense that it seems to be the most unenthusiastic. Thanksgiving is heartbreaking when you don't like traditional thanksgiving food. My family has finally caught on after years of me only eating mashed potatoes and gravy and has promised to make me chicken nuggets this year because I'm a little shit and too picky.
My scorp mother is too busy making food to care about her looks but she sure makes time to clean the house before hand. My gem father is the type to constantly ask when the good will be done

When I hear someone is finnicky or picky I just assume they don't live in the fatty South East of the United States where all the good cooking is. I'm going to miss all the food this year but I do plan on making that amazing cornbread dressing myself. I will be welking around with it in a bowl eating that up and wearing yoga pants.

Yes! It IS amazing. 🙂

My mom still makes that every year.

The pisces description is more accurate for me lol.

"oh hey guys, no I don't want to talk I just wanted food! Keep it down will ya" *goes back to sleep*

Haha aqua one is spot on, though I'm not on the computer during thanksgiving day I'm usually watching football.

LOl the Aqua one is spot on...

Challenge accepted. 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉

the cancer one sounds like me, i love making sure everyone gets their drinks and food /plate filled. watching everyone happy and healthy is what i enjoy. but i guess cause i'm older now, i enjoy family and i'm not a teenager anymore. especially since i'm the matron of my household. back then when living with my parents, we couldnt really do anything as our mother hated our interference and she loved being the "matron", now it's my turn to be the matron.

^this is typically not about thanksgiving but christmas meals, and birthdays, parties /events.
god i'm so happy being my own "queen" and not behind my mother's or my mother in laws.
