Everything on Thanksgiving differs in its decor: walls painted bright orange as a clown's hair to match the tablecloth as thin as linen... while the festive atmosphere resonates again! " Before you start enjoying your food, bow your heads and pray; don't take for granted what you are about to eat... think of those people who stand outside shivering in rags, sniffing the savoring vapors of that turkey...oh, what a treat!" A rich home is a poor man's wish as he begins to smell and drool, thinking of all the delicacies laid on those tables decorated with expensive roses and candles; is he one the wealthy ones who risked all to remain a pitiful fool? Will I see his passing shadow drifting over the brightly-lit lawn? Will he peak in and have enough courage to knock? I will open the door and take off his long frock... give him a big plate of food, make him smile and erase his frown! Entered in Debbie Gucci's contest, " Happy Holidays " Pick: Thanksgiving
