Friendsgiving Invitation (This Time will be Different)

I want to start this invitation off by sending love, healing and an apology regarding last year's Friendsgiving events. It was an incredibly traumatic experience for us all and I don’t want to go too far into detail as we all were there, but needless to say we have taken many precautions to ensure nothing like it will ever happen again. This year is gonna be a blast! We have plenty of festivities planned: chips and dip during the Macy’s parade, flag football at the park across the street, a candlelight vigil in remembrance of Greg, and plenty of pumpkin pie. Unfortunately, we will no longer participate in the traditional friendsgiving turkey eating contest for as we now know, the ultimate price is far higher than that of three butterball turkeys. We never could have guessed that Greg would eat so much turkey in one sitting that the inner lining of his stomach would explode spewing bile and half digested turkey chunks on nearly every surface in our lovely host Jessica's living room - who we are so grateful is hosting again this year. So please, this friendsgiving let's try to have fun, make memories and avoid rupturing any internal organs, in honor of Greg.
