My daughter, whose first and middle names are Wednesday and Addams (yes, for real), FINALLY let me do this. I’ve been begging for like, two years. Bonus: I sent her to church with her grandparents like this.
Parenting achievement unlocked: Forcibly introduce child to cosplay.
And it turns out, she’s pretty good at it!
So, let me use this post for good just a second. A lot of people felt left out when we did the #UtterlyAlone watch-a-long party for Halloween, because their time zone made it impossible to join. Well, to celebrate American Thanksgiving, I thought, why not do another watch-a-long. What’s a good Thanksgiving movie?
That’s right. On the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, November 29th, at 3 p.m. EST, we’ll be watching Addams Family Values. Because if it wasn’t obvious from the rest of the content in this post, I really, really love The Addams Family and there is like, a three minute Thanksgiving sequence in this one, so that means it counts.
So, at 3 p.m., EST, November 29th, start your DVD or whatever (it is not on Netflix streaming, I recommend renting from Amazon Video or just streaming if you’re a Prime member) and join your fellow Troutlanders on the hashtag #EatMe. The Beetlejuice one was awesome, so this should also be a good time!
OH man my family watches Addams Family Values every Thanksgiving. 😀
I love this movie! Can’t wait to hear your take on it.
Those facial expressions are eerily familiar!
Just like Jenny when reading 50shades
I love that movie! 😀
Your daughter is adorable!
Also, the moth! I would be telling that story to everyone…forever. Here’s my traumatizing bug story. I once was walking along under some trees when I saw something fall towards my face. I swatted but didn’t get it and it felt like something was in my eye so I went into the nearest Starbucks (cuz I live in a city where there is one on every other block) and into their loo and their was a woodbug happily hanging out on my eyeball, just resting along the rim of my lower lid. Holy F*ck it was the grossest thing ever! Until I read your moth story.
There’s an “Adult Wednesday Adams” webseries over on Youtube. I haven’t seen them myself, but my friends love them. Here’s the first one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHUajqrhF30#t=153
Your daughter is the cutest thing ever and i love that you named her Wednesday Addams.
Your daughter looks just like you.
Wellllll, if I didn’t think I loved you before, I definitely do now. Not only did you name your (adorable) child Wednesday, which has been my personal life goal since like, the age of 10, you also share my traditional Thanksgiving movie. 😛
Your daughter is ridiculously cute.
I have bought this movie on DVD twice and it keeps walking off, never to be found again. At this point i think I’m justified downloading it from some bay owned by pirates.
Have you see The Madame’s Family? It, uh, stars Ron Jeremy as Uncle Fester….
Wednesday Addams. Genius. Now I’m really curious to know what your son’s name is!
Wednesday is so gorgeous and adorable and cute!

Jenny, I didn’t know where to post this, so I guess I’ll put it here “X”.
Danny Trejo is going to be in the new Muppet Movie!!!! I’d have gone to see it anyway, but I know you are a fan and thought you should know.
Here’s the trailer (watch at 1:50) : http://muppets.disney.com/muppets-most-wanted/?cmp=wdsmp_mup_4d_bing_txt_Title_Trailer
Good times!
