Thanksgiving $$$

Thanksgiving $$$

Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving Day?
What’s its significance, all of us say.
We all find importance for which we are thankful,
And what we spend on this holiday is surely a bank full.

First the purchase of food for parties galore,
Then the fuel and decorating costs come to the fore.
We eat so much food that many get ill,
And drug makers get richer with each little pill.

It all becomes clear, if we closely examine
That we’re not giving thanks for avoiding a famine;
We’re creating the wealth and the plenty we see,
Including the sports ads we watch on TV.

Belly Stuffer

Belly Stuffer

Thanksgiving brings a terrible chore,
'Cause I’m forced to eat and eat some more.
If I don’t eat it up right down to dessert,
I fear the cook’s feelings will surely be hurt,
So I do my part, even though I suffer,
To be a good guest, I’m a belly stuffer.

Your Secret's Secure

Your Secret's Secure

Thanksgiving's the time in November each year
When our thoughts about food seem to richen,
When turkey and dressing and other good stuff
Is being prepared in the kitchen.

But the stores did their homework way in advance,
They know what your real needs will be,
They know you'll come shoppng to buy up their best,
And those sharing your feast will soon see...

You're the best cook in town, a peerless gourmet,
The turkey, dessert and the wine,
And your secret's secure that this feast was all made
By your grocery, and they sure did it fine!

Thanksgiving Ghost

Thanksgiving Ghost

The last piece of apple pie is gone,
How did it disappear?
The bowl of delicious stuffing
Has also vanished, I fear.

It happens each Thanksgiving,
When leftover goodies flee,
And each of us knows the responsible one
Couldn’t be you or me.

The only way it could happen
Is readily diagnosed,
It must be the crafty, incredibly sneaky,
Still hungry Thanksgiving ghost.

Hooray For Thanksgiving

Hooray For Thanksgiving

It’s Thanksgiving dinner,
Let’s not be late,
There’s lots of good food,
So fill up your plate.
With pie at the end,
It can’t be beat,
Hooray for Thanksgiving,
There’s so much to eat!

Countdown To Thanksgiving

Countdown To Thanksgiving

One two three,
A turkey in a tree,
Four five six,
That turkey’s in a fix,
Seven eight nine,
It always tastes so fine,
When we get to ten
It's Thanksgiving once again.

Thanksgiving Thoughts

Thanksgiving Thoughts

Mom is in the kitchen,
And when I take a look,
I’m glad I’m not a turkey
That’s she's about to cook!

A Child's Thanksgiving Thanks

A Child's Thanksgiving Thanks

I’m thankful for the many things
That help us live as well as kings,
For all the food that makes us drool,
And another holiday from school.

A Family Thanksgiving

A Family Thanksgiving

Mom and Dad And all the folks
Who sit around the table,
All give thanks to the Lord above
For the fact that we are able
To have the food and shelter
We all need to survive,
And have the love of family
That makes it good to be alive.

Thanksgiving Every Day

Thanksgiving Every Day

The table is brimming with good things to eat,
We're surrounded by family and friends; what a treat.
The feelings that fill us today can’t be beat,
It’s Thanksgiving Day, and it all feels complete.

But other days, sometimes things don’t seem so fine,
Those days are not polished and don’t seem to shine.
It's then in our minds, we forget all the good,
And think of the things we would get, if we could.

On days when our thinking causes us dread,
If we could remember, it’s all in our head,
And not let our minds take our gratitude away,
Then we'd make every day like Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Friends

Thanksgiving Friends

Thanksgiving is a time
For reviewing what we treasure,
The people we hold dear,
Who give us so much pleasure.

Without you as my friend,
Life would be a bore,
Having you in my life
Is what I’m thankful for.

You’ve Made A Difference

You’ve Made A Difference

As Thanksgiving Day approaches,
Our blessings we recall,
The things we are most thankful for,
We recollect them all.

You are really special,
In all you say and do.
You’ve made a difference in our lives,
We’re thankful now for you.

Save Room

Save Room

As meals go, Thanksgiving dinner
Is always a feast a five star winner.
Here comes the salad, dressed just right,
The golden brown turkey a savory delight.

The stuffing now, and then the gravy,
The jello mold, all wiggly and wavy.
Take some cranberry sauce and candied yams,
Is there room for fresh made rolls and jams?

More dishes tempt me; ah, but I
Must save some room for pumpkin pie!

Most of All

Most of All

Thanksgiving Day brings to mind
the blessings in our lives
that usually go unnoticed,
a home that surrounds us
with comfort and protection,
delicious food, for pleasure
in both eating and sharing,
clothes to snuggle up in,
books and good entertainment
to expand our minds,
and freedom to worship our God.
Most of all we are thankful
for our family and friends,
those treasured people
who make our lives extra special.
You are part of that cherished group.
On Thanksgiving, (and every day)
we appreciate you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m Thankful for You

I’m Thankful for You

Thanksgiving is the appointed time
for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days,
we can find small blessings,
but too often we overlook them,
choosing instead to spend our time
paying attention to problems.

We give our energy
to those who cause us trouble
instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now,
let’s be on the lookout
for the bits of pleasure in each hour,
and appreciate the people who
bring love and light to everyone
who is blessed to know them.

You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving,
I’m thankful for you.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Delights

Thanksgiving Delights

On Thanksgiving Day we’re thankful for
Our blessings all year through,
For family we dearly love,
For good friends, old and new.

For sun to light and warm our days,
For stars that glow at night,
For trees of green and skies of blue,
And puffy clouds of white.

We’re grateful for our eyes that see
The beauty all around,
For arms to hug, and legs to walk,
And ears to hear each sound.

The list of all we’re grateful for
Would fill a great big book,
Our thankful hearts find new delights
Everywhere we look!

More Than A Day

More Than A Day

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,
Feel like bums, insecure,
But in truth, our riches astound.

We have friends and family we love,
We have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.

So add up your blessings, I say,
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got,
Realize it's a lot,
And you'll make all your cares go away.

Thanksgiving Feasting

Thanksgiving Feasting

When the Halloween pumpkins are gone,
And the leaves have all fallen to ground,
When the air has turned windy and cold,
Then Thanksgiving will soon be around.

Thoughts of loved ones all feasting together,
Pleasant pictures from past times appear
To dwell in each heart and each mind
Then Thanksgiving is finally here!

The kitchen has scrumptious aromas,
The dining room looks oh, so fine,
Decorations with pilgrims and turkeys,
And now we are ready to dine!

First the napkins are placed on our laps,
Now the prayer for the meal to be blessed,
Then we stuff the good food in our tummies,
And we hope for it all to digest!

Thank You For Inviting Us

Thank You For Inviting Us

Thank you for inviting us
To your Thanksgiving dinner.
A day spent in your company
Is invariably a winner.

Thank you for the time you spent
Preparing all the food,
For making us feel welcome,
You have our gratitude!
