We Gather Together


There is one day that is ours.  There is one day when all we Americans who are not self-made go back to the old home to eat saleratus biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump looks than it used to.  Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.  ~O. Henry

Yes, that is a deep fryer.  And yes, the chef is wearing a Ghostbusters costume.
On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.  ~William Jennings Bryan


Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel.  ~Author Unknown


Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.  ~William Arthur Ward

 
Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.  ~Edward Sandford Martin


As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.  ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

It's artistic.  It's supposed to be blurry.  This has nothing whatsoever to do with champagne.
Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day.  ~Robert Caspar Lintner


Thanksgiving, man.  Not a good day to be my pants.  ~Kevin James


Happy Thanksgiving!  Here's hoping that you spend this day surrounded by your loved ones.  Even the ones you occasionally want to strangle.
