Thanksgiving

Every year, when Thanksgiving comes around, i eat myself silly. I'm always happy when time for dessert comes around. But every family has different traditions. Many families spend the day with the entire family at a house. Others invite friends. Many families spend this day being thankful to God for the blessings in their lives. All of this Thanksgiving fun started way back in the 1600s when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoig Indians shared the first successful harvest the Pilgrims had had since the long and brutal winter. Now,I'll bet the men in your family don't go out to the shooting range, use a turkey as a target, and bring home the main course. I'll also presume that your women folk didn't grow corn in a garden for your Thanksgiving feast. So think about those poor Pilgrims! They couldn't go to Safeway and purchase a turkey!Now, we have it easy. i plan to spend Thanksgiving at my uncle's house eating a bunch of pie. What is your plan? Have a blessed and fun-filled Thanksgiving this year!
