Happy Thanksgiving
Well, as I have said before this really is the holiday of Yankee Tirade, Thanksgiving that is, so I will enjoy it.
When Abraham Lincon made it an annual holiday in 1863 this nation was in throws of a really bad civil war. The people back home and the troops needed some release and this was a great way to do it. I myself spent one overeas many years ago, and I remember the British Army being there with us.
I always used to get a kick out of the people who moved into New Engalnd telling me what Thanksgiving was about, and I would go have it with people who were only towns away from where they settled in 1620, my family. It is a great tradition and I hope people will consider the less fortunate. I have already donated to the Salvation Army this year, most of the people there have no family left, and that is why many are where they are.
