Trying Tradition Come Up

More From Jim Gaffigan

Thanksgiving. it's like we didn't even try to come up with a tradition. the tradition is, we overeat. 'hey, how about at thanksgiving we just eat a lot?' 'but we do that every day!' 'oh. what if we eat a lot with people that annoy the hell out of us?'
