Turkey and Pumpkin Pies

To all wo crave turkey...good appetite and good health! Utilize your skills in creating charm in a bright dining room. Round up the best ideas for success, ask if you need help. Kidding yourself is absurd, get all the help from friends. Enamor yourself with dinnerware and silverware that match. Yearn for an athmosphere so warm, cheerful and elegant. Allow kindness when dealing with kids who spill apple cider. Nobody should be privileged to say Grace but the host. Dance afterward with everyone in the decorated living room. Papa can smoke his cigar, if it doesn't bother the guests. Unity should be stronger on this day when all thank the Lord. Major issues about noises, caused by children, should be ignored. Pretend that Thanksgiving Day is the last one they'll ever see. Keyboard should play Hymns of thanks, not songs they all like. Inside the fireplace, the red log crackles reminiscing Thansgivings past. Nag not when the dog chases the cat under the table...laugh! Parents should be soft, not harsh...let Thansksgiving be a fun day! Inside the fireplace the log crackles...reminishing of Thanksgivings past. Endure the screams and the fights a little longer...no child is an angel. Say the final prayer of gratitude as everyone bows their heads.
