Here in my town, on Thanksgiving night, hundreds of thousands of people gather in this one area to watch this huge display of Xmas lights get turned on. It's a tired tradition to those of us who live here but it draws an extremely large crowd.
This Thanksgiving, my family members were going to come from as far as California to have dinner in the area and watch the festivities.
In light of the Vegas shooting, my family has cancelled because they are scared to be in such a large crowd, like "sitting ducks", beneath countless balconies and windows.
It makes me super sad. Although I admit, like the guest was saying, movie theaters and large crowds have been creeping me out for while now. It just sucks to say it out loud.
