Oh yeah,

During dinner, my Nephew and host of family Thanksgiving dinner told a religiously centered story about Thanksgiving and the pilgrims then asked for everyone to discuss what the Thanksgiving story meant to them. This nephew is the President and CEO of the company i work for. I said I believed the turkey was chosen for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner because it's call was "Gobble gobble gobble."

His youngest son, the youngest in the group, 8 years old kept requesting we go around the table and everyone tell what they were thankful for...never happened.

Way back in 93 at Thanksgiving dinner we went around the table with each person sharing one thing they were thankful for. Everyone gave the typical expected things. When my turn I said the 1993 Buick Skylark, because it was stylish, roomy, comfortable, and affordably priced. Everyone jumped up and looked out the window asking if I had gotten a new car. LOL.

For a while my Brother hosted the family Thanksgiving dinner. My SIL came up with making 5 ft tree out of a limb and pot of rocks. Between dinner and desert each person was given a fall colored construction paper leaf and a pen and asked to put down the year and something they were thankful for. Each person shared what was on their leaf and it was added to the tree. The result was a tree with fall leaves, each with something a family member was thankful for. We did this for several years adding to the tree. The above was my 1993 leaf.

What a fun family eh?
