How Was Everyones Thanksgiving? (2017)

Did everyone have enough to eat? Is the family ok? Did your team win?

Then there's the time a lady was picking through the frozen
turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough
for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get
any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."

They call America a melting pot. I see it as a giant bowl of cereal. Filled with fruits, nuts, and flakes. Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird rather than the Bald Eagle. Maybe if the turkey had become the national bird, there would be no turkeys getting killed every year. Wonder what we would have eaten then?

I learned something new. One would think I would have learned this history years ago, but I never paid much attention to it. The Congregationalists and the Presbyterians, eh? Interesting!Its funny how tradition influences people even today. We have customers just coming back from out of town who nevertheless simply *have* to buy a turkey and have their own dinner. Seems Thanksgiving is a celebration of Gods blessing and bounty upon peoples lives--at least for many. Others skip the prayer unless their team happens to be losing.
