Blessings on Thanksgiving
There are many many people
Whom you may never meet
But through Gods grace, your giving
May provide food for them to eat.
In Gods house , just like your own
There may be loved ones all alone
So on this day reach out to touch
A lonely soul who hungers much
Not just for food and warmth to sleep
But for friendship shared and Gods love to keep
When you are willing to give thanks this way
You too will be blessed this Thanksgiving Day.

The turkey was imported to France by the Jesuits and it is still known in some French dialects as a 'Jesuite'.
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.... There are some things in every country that you must be born to endure; and another hundred years of general satisfaction with Americans and America could not reconcile this expatriate to cranberry sauce, peanut butter, and drum majorettes.
