Thanksgiving - The American Holiday
Aazdak Alisimo
Yikes! We are already into the winter holidays. It seems like summer just ended. While you may not be ready for the holidays yet, that doesn't mean that you can't appreciate them. Consider the following reflections on the Thanksgiving holiday.
Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. - E.P. Powell
It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it. - Alistair Cooke
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say thank you? - William A. Ward
An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. - Irv Kupcinet
Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants. - Comedian Kevin James
Thank God every day when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues, which the idle will never know. - Basil Carpenter
You can tell you ate too much at Thanksgiving when you have to let your bathrobe out. - Jay Leno
Rub a dub, let's get to the grub. - Unknown
It was dramatic to watch my grandmother decapitate a turkey with an ax the day before Thanksgiving. Nowadays the expense of hiring grandmothers for the ax work would probably qualify all turkeys so honored with 'gourmet' status. - Russell Baker
God is pleased with no music below so much as with the thanksgiving songs of relieved widows and supported orphans; of rejoicing, comforted, and thankful persons. - Jeremy Taylor
Thanksgiving is so called because we are all so thankful that it only comes once a year. - P.J. O'Rourke
I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land. - Jon Stewart
Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow. - Edward Sandford Martin
A woman is looking for a turkey at the grocery store. While looking through the frozen ones, she can't find a big enough one. She asks the clerk if the turkeys get any bigger. His answer? "No mam, their dead."
On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime. - Author Unknown
