We should eat turkey once a week
And not just once a year.
I'd eat ev'ry part (but not the beak)
And wash it down with beer.
Thursday's the day that I propose
We eat this weekly feast.
Because as far as events go,
Poor Thursday has the least.
Lethargic Fridays would be implied,
(You'd need a day to recover.)
Thanksgiving would fall right in stride
So whaddaya say, turkey lover?
How do we make it official? I don't know what the laws be.
Thursday needed a lift ever since the last episode of Cosby.
Thanksgiving Day has been a family tradition for years. The holiday's been around since
the 1600s when the Mayflower landed in a Pennsylvania town called Plymouth. Thanksgiving
Day is also about giving thanks for having good friends, spending quality time with
families, and a lot of football, especially when they're watching the Dallas Cowboys play
against another NFL football team. What's the favorite part when it comes to Thanksgiving
Day is when a lot of families and friends gather around for dinner and stuff. What's also
our favorite part of Thanksgiving most of all is the food, especially the turkey and the
stuffing. And let's not forget the cranberry sauce and the casseroles. Talking about
Thanksgiving food makes a person. But the important thing about Thanksgiving Day is when
everybody's gathered around for the reading of the Holy Bible: the King James version. And
if it weren't for Thanksgiving Day and had the Pilgrims not found Plymouth, Pennsylvania,
there wouldn't be a Thanksgiving Day and traditional football games. Let's hope we don't
consume too much food.
Easter Day is around the corner, and all of the families are very excited. It's been like
that every year, especially when going to church. The kids are involved with a lot of
Easter activities, including the Easter Egg Hunt, while the adults have multiple
conversations. There's Easter services at churches, and it's only the beginning of the
spring time. I bet that the Easter Bunnies will have been here this Easter. even if
there's no Easter service at church, everybody can still celebrate Easter Day at various
country clubs. Speaking of country clubs, there's an Easter Day brunch buffet and it's a
good day to play some golf. Easter Day is a holiday that's to be celebrated by everyone
from around the world; it's an annual tradition. I also bet that there will be a lot of
new clothes for Easter Day. Looks like there's going to be Easter dinner for all families.
And if it was Easter Day every day for the next 2 weeks, then there's no telling what good
thing might happen next.
Thanksgiving
sometimes far we travel
to share a special feast
a day that's very special
just to say the least
a day for me to thank you
for everything you give
like peaceful understanding
that I'm living to let live
and I'm thankful for forgiveness
for many my mistakes
but most of all I'm thankful
you give everything it takes
so thank you everybody
for favors big and small
I hope you know how much
I appreciate it all

Valentines day is my favorite holiday of the year.
Filled with hugs,kisses,love and the perfect day
I'm so happy for our Valentines day.
A day of love is here to stay.
Valentines day for lovers.
Love’s better when you’re a beginner.
On Valentine’s Day, you’re a winner.
For the old married gal
It’s a day usual.
And you’re lucky to get a free dinner!
(For Francine Robert's "Valentine's Day Limerick" Contest)
Thanksgiving
To me thanksgiving signifies this
Togetherness of family and those you miss
Stuffing, ham, pies and everything
Sit down and gnaw on a turkey’s wing
The one day a year it’s ok to be a glutton
Make some more room by popping a button
A day to celebrate a feast of food
Dine with the in-laws, try not to be rude
A day to eat and have a little fun
Then lay on the lawn and soak up some sun
Pecan, apple and minced meat pie
Better than fireworks on the fourth of July
Ham, turkey, lamb and some other meats
Grab a fork and knife and get in your seats
But on this part the most important part
Remember the needy, keep them in your heart
~Oh Holy Christmas Day~
(Hotan/Acrostic)
The snow is falling
Christmas Day is almost here
A most blessed time to spend
With family
Let your heart rejoice
Jesus came
In manger was born
Wonderful star announced his
Birth all through the sky
Christmas day
Holy day, when Baby Jesus was born
Right here it is,enjoy it this day
In a day like this He came down to earth
Santa Claus worship him all the way too
Tender day, oh Holy night
Most wonderful time of the year when you
And I let our voices sing songs to our Lord and
Saviour because He came to save us all
Day oh what a wonderful time when all the
Angels on heaven and on earth rejoice,a day when
You and I join our voices and hearts to celebrate that our King was born.

MEMORIAL DAY – 1935 (a child’s view)
The City
Giant buildings against a clear, blue, morning sky
And the black-tar street flying by beneath his feet
Cars
Old cars new
Army trucks
Lined-up half-way-up Capitol Hill
The city rumbled shook!
The air all blue-gray smoke
People running
Walking fast rushing past
All he could feel with his dizzy senses was his father’s hand
And at the point three streets converge
Standing waiting
Steel helmets blasting in the morning sun
Rifles long with gleaming bayonets
500 men
A military band just rounding the corner
Bass drum pounding cadence
Ready to join the parade
That beat pounding cadence in his chest
Further down downtown
The drone the music of a hundred engines
Fifty bands
Sound of fifty thousand cheering
As the long Memorial Day Parade marched by
