Turkey Day

You still have that chip on your shoulder? I thought you'd gotten over it,
my mistake. Course I never have figured out what it was.

You missed my point, (but snipers usually do when they're just waiting to
shoot you down) that being, my complaint wasn't about my time in the
kitchen, but I got cheated of the time with my relatives.

Take your BTUs off Nedra, and give me a break, if not, let's take it to
e-mail. ~ jan

Only 6 hours?? That is All the time you spend in the kitchen on
Thanksgiving Day?? How lucky you are (or Unlucky). I make
a motion you hang out with R. Rhudy - lol two of a kind ..

Btw, I learned the Thanksgiving story same as 'mad' did ....

It's a drunken, uproarious celebration commemorating our freedom from
England.

No, just kidding!

To most Americans, Thanksgiving is a chance to offer thanks for the
bounty of our land, and for our family, friends, and health. It's our
second most important holiday, after Christmas.

Bite your tongue! The most important is July 4.
More important that all the rest together.

Thanksgiving can sometimes
be mistaken for *Christmas Part One*
at least by retail establishments.

And Halloween is *Pre~Christmas*.

Does that make New's Years *Post-Christmas* or is that the whole week after
Christmas, sell before inventory? ~ jan

Hey, I agree! I was just stating the amount of preparation and
celebrating that goes into each by the average American.

Bob

Too right. Before long the Fourth will only be known as the time
Christmas stuff comes out in the stores. ;-}

As a person who has her favorite
catalogs through out the year the 4th of
July means the catalogs with Halloween
stuff will be coming soon. Halloween means
the Christmas catalogs are due.
New Years means garden catalogs!

I do the cooking at Thanksgiving and Christmas at our home. I spend
about 8 hours ... 4 hours the evening before and another 4
Thanksgiving morning. I enlist (read that FORCE) the kids to help out
so Thanksgiving meal is not spent in the kitchen and the cleanup is
shared so I don't miss out on much.

Check that out, only the traditional dish is turkey, mash potatoes
w/gravy,
sweet potatoes/yams, other veggies or fruit dishes, pumpkin pie.

From this woman's point of view it's a day I work for 6 hrs. in the
kitchen
and end up cheated, as by the time I get to sit down, my guests all have
to
"hit the road". s ~ jan

Now that's the way it's done, Old Man! I used to devote hours and
hours to doing just the garnishes for the food to say nothing of
the time involved in cooking the goodies.. 'course I had planned
a Thanksgiving baby and (3 years later) a Christmas baby and
was pleasantly surprised at how close I got to those dates. (Dave
arrived at 5:25 pm on 26th of November - Wednesday before Thanksgiving - Den
at 11:00 am on the 21st of December which turned
out to be the last day of school )

So that the boys wouldn't feel cheated, I had extra Kids
birthday parties. The house was already decorated and it did
seem odd not taking advantage of it. I still make a fuss over their
birthdays and the Holidays.

Such wonderful glorious fun!!

Subject: real story of Turkey Day



The full history of the Mayflower and Thanksgiving,
http://www.rootsweb.com/~mosmd/
its a big page!

part 5 has the actual feast documented.

quite a feat for only 4 women and 5 teens

............
For three days the Pilgrims and their Indian guests
gorged themselves on venison, roast duck, goose and
turkey, clams and other shell-fish, succulent eels,
corn bread, hasty pudding, leeks and water-cress and
other "sallet herbes," with wild plums and dried
berries as dessert, all washed down with wine made
of the wild grape. The affair was more like an out-door
barbeque for the entire population, than a family
reunion dinner.

i might go along with that with some qualifiers: july 4th allows us to
celebrate all the other holidays in the manner that we deem best for us. but
for me, religiously, easter is the most important. christmas is the most
important national holiday ECONOMICALLY and for me, 2nd most important
religiously. but, it is the most fun as i love giving gifts to my loved
ones.
goes back to the 4th of july. most important so that i can celebrate all the
religious holidays.
