Happy Thanksgiving 2009

A THANKSGIVING BLOG

Memories of Thanksgiving Past

Everyone has their own idea about tradition. For some it is waking up early on Thanksgiving morning to go stand out on a cold sidewalk,  being jostled by hundreds of people, wondering if Mom is going to pass out the hot cocoa soon and if your toes can actually fall off from the cold. Then suddenly a marching band is heard and the first spectacular balloon passes by and suddenly the cold and the crowds are gone. Cheering takes the place of complaining and everyone is happy and excited.

For others it is sitting in-front of the t.v. watching the parade while still in pajamas. Smelling the turkey cooking, Mom and Dad stopping in the middle of rushing about to take a look at the balloons on the screen. Tables piled high with numerous treats and mouth-watering items that mysteriously only appear once a year.

Door bell rings over and over, family and friends hugging and kissing and exclaiming that it has “been too long”. More food piles up on the ever-growing table and you try to think if there is a way to sneak a bit of the turkey without anyone noticing. Every year brings new faces to the table. The house seeming to burst at the seams.

Sitting down at the table ( finally) to hold hands, say grace, go around and each get a chance to say what we are thankful for. Dad and his brother fighting over the turkey legs, the competition for who made the best stuffing, sweet potatoes with little white marshmallows on top. The inevitable exclamation ” Where’s the Stove Top” just to get a laugh from the crowd (although for some it just wouldn’t be T-Day without the  boxed stuffing).

Eating until a button needs to be undone and the yearly discussion of tryptophan. Trying to name all the capitals in the United States and coming up short. Catching up on a years worth of memories and digging out the old ones. A can-you-top- this of recollections to get everybody shaking their heads and chuckling. Watching the Wizard of  Oz as you doze off in-front of a fire that is now more embers than flames.

Taking one last look around the room before coats are called for and good-byes are said. Realizing that there is so very much to be thankful for. Another wonderful memory having just been made.

A very happy holiday to all of our students and tutors  who have given us much thankful for.
