      Typically the joke is that you escape family on Thanksgiving with your cousins to go on a walk and get high before returning. This twists it and adds incest

            Did you at least sneak a smirnoff ice out of the basement and share it on your walk?

          Wait, seriously? You guys didn’t realize that you were supposed to smoke weed on “the walk”? That’s hilarious.

            I meant the Royal Family are nonces. They’re incestous too, but that’s besides the point

      They appear to be from Birmingham.

      Not the UK one.

          The American Birmingham is in Alabama, which has a certain reputation relevant to this meme.

            So does the original Birmingham, which is why they said that.

      Sure! Thanksgiving is principally a national holiday in the U.S. that traces its roots to religious and historical traditions from England, particularly during the early 17th century colonies in the New World.

      It’s meant to be an autumn harvest holiday. The apocryphal story is that Puritans sat down with Native Americans to feast and celebrate goodwill between their respective groups but the evidence for this is suspect at best.

      Over time, Thanksgiving became more popular and involves heavy travel during the (pre-) holiday season. It’s a chance for families to enjoy each others’ company before Christmas and feast on roast turkey and a variety of vegetable dishes.

      Hope this helps! Go with God.
