The Garfield holiday specials are really the best! 2nd only to Peanuts, to me.

Thanksgiving, in 2025, feels almost like the forgotten holiday. Or, more accurately, like a practice game for Christmas.

There's not enough Thanksgiving specials. 🦃

That is a true story. I was completely enamored with the whole of Disney World, so when it was time for the parade, I was just imagining all the wonderful Disney shit they were going to throw.

It was a hard lesson that most parades are just that.

As a child, I got unreasonably pissed at Disney World because the parade didn't throw anything.

Yeah, I have a few not so fun memories like that also. Adults stepping on something so I couldn't get it. Stealing things straight out of my hands.

But the good outweighs the bad, and it taught me that adventure and fun often have a price, however small.

My childhood Mardi Gras just seemed so chaotic and exciting. I was excited to be able to do something that the adults were all doing. My dad would put me up on his shoulders, and I just tried to catch everything.

This lil Barbie is about 38 years old! We couldn't believe she found one still in the box. 🎭

Barbie knows the ways. Her family's been standing in their spot on the route for generations.

Aw, that is sweet. A year is an eternity for a child.

My sister moved away and one of our other nieces (who was about 6 then, but is 22 now) was so pissed and sad that Mardi Gras didn't happen everywhere.

The gown transforms into a little short number for the parade!

I know it's a little fancy for the route, but Barbie likes a little attention every now and then.

She's never attended any Mardi Gras event ever, but she is super into it! I mean, who doesn't like lights and a parade and booze? 😂

But we are very excited to give it to her. 🎄🎭

Yes. That too. All of it.

Right? Uncle Dub was a saint.

This is my aunt and uncle, but I definitely look a lot like my uncle. They ended up having 10 kids, all girls.

Will definitely read. I only tried to watch it once and it hit me wrong, I think. Probably time to give it another shot. 🤖

I love banana spiders! I love their webs and their cool skull head and pointy legs. Plus they are super chill. Good coworker.
