We must honor this serious day and give thanks for the many blessings in our lives - I'm 76 and I'm still living - Thank You / I'm still married to the most amazing female on planet earth - Thank You - I have two amazing kids whom I love without hesitation - I also have two incredible grandsons that lovingly call me D, usually very loud, I have a family that loves me in spite of myself - Thank You - I still confess my many sins every day and I know that God forgives me - Thank You - Thank You - Thank You!!
Someone stated an obvious truth - I’m just here for the carbs and emotional support.
So, what about all that food we will eat on this Blessed Day? Thank goodness it only comes once a year! The joy of being with family and friends gives me pause to realize how blessed I am in a world that seems to always be in strife.
President Georg Washington officially established Thanksgiving Day on Sept 28, 1789.
We have honored this day with family & friends since that founding day. We honor this time once a year to eat, drink and be merry - eat a lot, talk a lot & laugh a lot.
So, on this day I hope you will enjoy two very different takes on this great day of joy.
From Saturday Night Live when it was still pretty entertaining Adam Sandler with some help from Kevin Nelon gives a funny rendition of one of his most famous songs - Celebrating Thanksgiving!
From the greatest late night talk show in television history - the great Johnny Carson discusses Thanksgiving with bandleader Doc Severinson in one of the most hilarious six minutes ever recorded.
So, enjoy your day and say THANK YOU!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

And for all of us who just can't help ourselves - This little ditty is for you!
