Home | Home & Family | Holidays There is one day that is ours. There is one day when all we Americans who are not self-made go back to the old home to eat saleratus biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump looks than it used to. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American. - O. Henry 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 Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. - Theodore Roosevelt An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. - Irv Kupcinet Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise then you will discover the fullness of your life. - Brother David Steindl-Rast Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude! - Henry Ward Beecher The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. - H.U. Westermayer It wasn't easy telling my family I was gay at Thanksgiving. I asked my mom if she would pass the mashed potatoes to a gay man. She passed them to my father. A terrible scene ensued. - Bob Smith If I have enjoyed the hospitality of the Host of this universe, Who daily spreads a table in my sight, surely I cannot do less than acknowledge my dependence. - G. A. Johnston Ross Gratitude is born in hearts that take time to count up past mercies. - Charles E Jefferson 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 God gave us our relatives; thank God we can choose our friends. - Ethel Watts Mumford 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." Thanksgiving is America's national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty. - Michael Dresser Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
