Thanksgiving Day




Thanksgiving.  As far as American holidays go, Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite.  Hang out with friends and family all day, eat til you explode, watch some football in between napping, and just enjoy yourself.  No big religious overtones, no gift giving.  The only real obligation is to wear loose fitting pants.

I guess with all that gluttony in mind, it'd be difficult to write a heartfelt song about Thanksgiving.  Leave it Ray Davies to come up with one. 

Hey, come on over, it's Thanksgiving Day.

The table is set.


The dessert table is almost set too.  Left to right: Pumpkin Pie, cookies, Carrot Cake, Marble Cake and Apple Pie.  Missing in Action: Raspberry Cheesecake.


The Spread. Clockwise from 1 o'clock: salad, green peas, mashed potatos, turkey, sweet potatos, stuffing and green bean casserole.


Round Two.  On my second plate I only left room for the essentials: Stuffing, turkey, peas and mashed potatos.


Her dessert "sampler" plate: a bite of carrot cake, raspberry cheesecake and apple pie.


Preparing to dig in.


 Quite possibly the most underrated part of Thanksgiving.  Left over Pumpkin Pie for breakfast the next morning.
