Welcome one and all to my Thanksgiving Page. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays,
when families and friends gather together to celebrate, and give thanks for all the blessings they have
received throughout the year.
Each year Thanksgiving is celebrated at our house here in Massachusetts.
It's the best time for a feast when the air is crisp and the leaves have fallen from the trees.

Giving Thanks
For the hay and the corn and the wheat that is
reaped,
For the labor well done, and the barns that are heaped,
For the sun and the dew and the
sweet honeycomb,
For the rose and the song and the harvest brought home
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the trade and the skill and the wealth in our land,
For the cunning and strength of the
workingman's hand,
For the good that our artists and poets have taught,
For the friendship that
hope and affection have brought
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the homes that with purest
affection are blest,
For the season of plenty and well-deserved rest,
For our country extending
from sea unto sea;
The land that is known as the "Land of the Free"
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!

Usually my sister makes the Pumpkin Pie, and my Mom makes the Apple Pie. Both are made from scratch.
No store bought pies for us! It's more convenient for me to have them make the pies because it gives
me more time for other things. But I do make the Brownies and those too are homemade, and the first to
go!!!

A tradition that has caught on in my family is, whichever family is hosting the meal, the man of
the house is the one who usually says the Prayer before the meal. My husband Gary does his usual
funny prayer, followed by a more proper one. Then we all toast each other making sure everyone
has clicked their glass, and the feast begins!! Watch out for those passing buns!!!!
