Thankgiving is the holiday of peace,
the celebration of work and the simple life...
a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry
of the turn of the seasons,
the beauty of seedtime and harvest,
the ripe product of the year--and the deep,
deep connection of all these things with God.

Some things I love about Thanksgiving : The traditions. I always remember having a wonderful dinner that my mom had made. Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, yams and cranberries and my grandma Anderson's Thanksgiving salad. We had this for every Thanksgiving that I can remember. I have carried on this tradition and our Thanksgiving dinner is not complete without it. I love my mom's pumpkin chiffon pie, it tasted especially good this year. I love the coming together of different generations and giving thanks for living in America and the blessings we enjoy because of it. Tradition that my dad offers the blessing on the food. I love his humble prayer of gratitude.the celebration of work and the simple life...
