<\/a>Mr. X and I usually just law low for the entire five days of this holiday, beginning today.\u00a0 We used to throw really fun Thanksgiving Eve soirees, a tradition I took with me into the hip-hop clubs I used to run.\u00a0 It always cracks me up when I see a club party listed as a \u201cbash\u201dnow, which is a very old-fashioned word I<\/em> used to herald in my Thanksgiving Eve Bash in the clubs.\u00a0 My younger guy partners had never heard the word, and laughed at it at first, but then they all started using it.\u00a0 And it got passed down to each new group of club promoters, and is used to this very day.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always loved being a trend-setter!<\/p>\nAnd Mr. X and I didn\u2019t let our occasional Fall trips to New York deter our holiday-partying ways; we continued our traditional Night Before Thanksgiving fetes whenever we were in Brooklyn at that time of year, as late as five years ago.<\/p>\n
If you want to copy our blueprint, this is how those low-key evenings went, which began in my days at my last college, when we were a big group who always hung-out together.\u00a0 (It was more of a big drinking<\/em> fest back then, with me<\/em> being the only teetotaler. So, trust me, the get-togethers with Mr. X were a lot more fun than my college ones!)<\/p>\n But in recent years, we just chill for the whole holiday week-end, except for going to various pals\u2019 houses for actual Thanksgiving.\u00a0 Since we should all be giving thanks tomorrow (duh,) I\u2019m grateful that we usually have several choices of invitations for that feast.<\/p>\n This<\/em> Thanksgiving week-end will be especially entertaining because, in addition to reviewing a couple of amusing (I hope) plays, Mr. X and I will be attending\u2026an L.A. Rams game!\u00a0 And not just going to<\/em> it\u2014we’ll be living the VIP Experience<\/em> there!!!\u00a0 That means rides both ways, food, drinks, a suite, a trip to the field, you name it\u2014as I said VIP!\u00a0 I\u2019ll possibly tell you all about it, (whether it goes as planned or not, the latter of which I\u2019m sure you\u2019d rather<\/em> hear about, right?,) either here or in one of my YouTube videos, so look-out for that. I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll have plenty of tales to share from that day!<\/p>\n And, as always, I\u2019m giving thanks that you\u2019re even reading this!\u00a0 Entertaining you guys is my raison d\u2019\u00eatre.<\/p>\n No matter how\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0spend the next five days, I wish you all a fabulous, delicious, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving! And I’ll meet you back here on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2017 Thanksgiving is here very early this year, which is always a good thing for me.\u00a0 Yes, I know it makes the lead-up to it maybe a bit too short, but it gives us more time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, which I appreciate. Mr. X and I usually just law low for the<\/p>\n<\/a>Here at our house in LA, we tried to keep the guest list to just about nine people, (which we amended to more as the years went on and people begged to come,) and we all just rolled into the night, with people showing up whenever they wanted to.\u00a0 The fare was really casual; spaghetti, Caesar salad, and all kinds of desserts.\u00a0 And it\u2019s the only party all year at which we played a game, which, despite Mr. X\u2019s complaints, was a blast!\u00a0 (Mainly because he<\/em> made them so.)\u00a0 If my house wasn\u2019t overrun with my possessions now, we would still<\/em> throw them, because nobody else we know is fun enough to do so!<\/p>\n<\/a>Speaking of which, if you\u2019re bored this holiday week-end, why don\u2019t you subscribe<\/em> to my YouTube channel, and catch-up on what you\u2019ve missed-out on to date?\u00a0 (If you haven\u2019t seen my Casting Couch story yet, you\u2019re missing out.) I often get asked to resurrect my former cable show, Karen\u2019s Restaurant Revue<\/em>, and this is the closest I\u2019ve come so far.\u00a0 If you weren\u2019t in LA during my heyday, the shows were a half hour of me just talking in row, off the top of my head. But with shorter attention spans these days, you\u2019ll be happy to know that these vids are much shorter.\u00a0 And I have no studio audience.\u00a0 And these production values are even worse than my TV studio ones.\u00a0 But it\u2019s still me<\/em>, which is all you need!
