Thanksgiving - A Month Early

Please join me in prayer: Dear Microsoft we thank you for this opportunity to bring our family together on this holiday. We know without you we would all have to commute to be able to get with family and friends. We also wish to thank you for these fine Thanksgiving Day Supplements that we take today. Please be with our whole family. Amen"

Everyone would bring something to eat and the table would have so many wondrous item you wouldn't know what to eat first. First we would pray and give thanks to a real God, we would go around the table and each person would say what he was thankful for."
"After dinner we would all go to the kitchen and help clean up and then go into the front room and watch football on a screen they called TV. Then later we would eat pie for dessert. We would all be so full you could hardly move. As everybody left to go home they would take leftovers with them to enjoy the rest of the weekend."
