Thanksgiving

We love Thanksgiving around our house. Who doesn't? I mean it's the universal American holiday. The religious holidays always get messy, especially with families that bring together different ethnic traditions. I know a family that celebrates Kwanzukkah every year. They spend the entire month of December lighting candles. Some nights they accidentally activate the emergency sprinkler system in their apartment.

And the Thanksgiving story is a feel good story. The Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians sitting down for a meal. It's a lot like Hooverlove, if you think about it. C'mon! We'll meet in the lounge! I'll bring the fowle, you'll bring the deere! I'll wear my hat with the buckle! You can wear your breechclouts!

One of our family traditions each year is to sing the Indian Dog and Pilgrim Cat song. It goes like this:

Indian Dog and Pilgrim Cat.
Indian Dog and Pilgrim Cat.
Indian Dooooooog! And Pilgrim Cat!
