Thanksgiving

One Hundred Million Years Ago, the Pilgrims landed on top of Plymouth Rock. They proceeded to take their belt buckles and place them on their hats in reverence for the great fortune they had. After a harrowing year of settling in what they rather carelessly called "The New World" they realized, winter was a-coming. Since they were the first settlers of this new world, they were quite surprised when the people they had yet again carelessly referred to as "Indians" (we now know that is a baseball team) came to them bearing gifts of Honeybaked Ham (tm), mashed potatoes, green bean casserole (with the onion crispies on top), and of course the main dish Cool Whip (tm) to top the pumpkin pie. After the party ended and the years of massacre between these new settlers and the non-baseball playing "Indians", and a few rather touching cartoons about Pocahontas, and other heroes were made... We sit down to remember that if you put your hand on a piece of paper, spread out all of your fingers, trace it with a crayola, it looks a bit like what elementary school city kids are told turkeys look like. If you put a belt-buckled hat on that turkey you have a Thanksgiving Centerpiece. Happy Day of Thanks everyone.
