Tim advises people without a real nuclear family to stop pretending and just go to a restaurant for a quick, low-pressure holiday instead of hosting at home.
- Tim proposes solving family dinner conflicts with feeding tubes, comparing it to CPAP machines for sleep apnea.
- He's having Thanksgiving at a restaurant with his cousin, aunt, and cousin's wife rather than hosting at home.
- Going to a restaurant takes pressure off families by removing the pretense of having a traditional family gathering.
- Many families, including his own, are older childless ex-addicts who meet more like AA meetings than traditional holidays.
- Tim argues holidays are really for children and shouldn't be forced if you don't have a big happy family.
- His advice: grab a few people you enjoy and go to a restaurant with a clear start and end time instead of cooking at someone's house.
