TIME TO GIVE THANKS
Challenge of the week: mention an animal in your story. This could be very mildly spoilery for seasons 8/9 but it's not really canon, just a bit of wishful thinking on my part!
It's finally time to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Disclaimer: I don't own them - now that would be something to give thanks for!

Sam smiles as Dean loads a ton of mashed potato onto his plate.
He looks around.
There's Garth, slowly unravelling after his first beer; Castiel, intensely studying a broccoli floret; and Kevin and Charlie chattering and squealing like chipmunks as they debate Middle Earth versus Discworld.
Dean proudly carves the turkey he's roasted to perfection, and Sam's smile broadens.
The Winchesters never had much to be thankful for, but after years of hurt and loss, they finally have a home and a new family to share it with.
They'll always miss their absent friends ...
But it's time to give thanks for new ones.
