I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.

After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relatives.
- Oscar Wilde

i thank you god
for most this amazing day
for leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky

Thanksgiving is an emotional time. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often.
- Johnny Carson

In a habit carried over from childhood, her mind whispered a prayer of thanks, as small and quick as the extinction of lamplight into darkness:
Thanks for this day,
for all birds safe in their nests,
for whatever this is,
for life.
- Barbara Kingsolver

I thank God for this day

For the sun in the sky

For my mom and my dad

For my apple pie

For our home on the ground

For His love all around

That's why I say thanks

Everyday!
- Veggie Tales
