Except for my one aunt in California who is a staunch libertarian. But she doesn't usually come to Thanksgiving because she is 3,000 miles away.

It was still a rough Thanksgiving because it was the first since my grandmother died, and my grandfather ended up in the hospital because of depression and wasn't able to come either. But at least we had the election to celebrate. And I am especially thankful that my grandmother lived long enough to see Obama's first election, since she was active with the civil rights movement as a young adult.
