If anything, the original Thanksgiving ( which lasted nearly 4 days) glorified peace and goodwill.<br /><br />And so THAT is why family from near and far are summoned to gather in order to set aside their political and social squabbles on Thanksgiving ( in honor of the day and it’s sacred intentions): For at least a few precious hours, relatives are required to be civil and behave for the sake of family unity.Cindy Merrillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311420620654774605.post-55434114504921012762018-11-22T17:06:53.873-05:002018-11-22T17:06:53.873-05:00Our Turkey didn't thaw out in time, so for our...Our Turkey didn't thaw out in time, so for our Thanksgiving meal we had chuck roast instead.
