Invite yourself over to your neighbors house by walking in right behind other visitors as they enter, thank them for inviting you, volunteer to say grace, and then make yourself a plate and walk out.
My brother said he and his friends use to crash family reunions at a park close to their hunting land. Everybody thought they were distant cousins.
It's the perfect time for acts of revenge, or extreme pranking. Your alibi is automatically assumed. And it doesn't have to be people you actually know, just people who have pissed you off. Like the restaurant that gave you crappy service or the mechanic who charged you $120 for an oil change. I was alone one thanksgiving in the 90s and ice picked the tires on a tow truck outside of a lot where my car was impounded 2 years prior. Psychotic? You betcha. But revenge is very therapeutic and relaxing.
If you'll feel lonely, I suppose you could just have a long phone conversation with your family. If you like football, you could watch that for a while. And you could have a virtual Thanksgiving on SF, I'm sure some folks will be around. If it's important to you, you can usually get yourself invited some place, but typically you have to start looking for that for a little bit in advance.
Go around the neighbourhood in a Halloween costume trick or treating on thanksgiving, pretend you have autism, people will probably feel sorry for you, give you a turkey leg every second house
don't you live in weather heaven? buy some booze and go to the beach or something. i'm stuck driving out to my parents' house. i'd rather be alone. i never understood that concept. "we care about our employees, so we're cutting eight hours out of their paychecks."

We cant here either, but I think its more about pastey fluorescant white British tourists who cant swim getting drunk and drowning or passing out and getting 2 shades of lobster skin within 20 minutes
If you're into football just make it a football watching day. And you don't need turkey, get some football food like pizza, nachos, wings, mac & cheese, potato salad etc. with beer. And some good weed.
Some years ago, a friend of ours used to crash a few parties and gatherings. One day he thought that all the guests were miserable and headed into the lounge to find some more friendly faces. As he opened the door, he was confronted by the family's grandmother laid out in her coffin. Not having been living in Ireland for long, it gave him the fright of his life.
Watch a bunch of entitled cop killer lovers play a childish game high on vicodan .. Sounds like a plan..
