Turkey Day is a very special holiday. While we celebrate what we are thankful for and get fat on turkey, the real treasure of Thanksgiving is, let's face it, pumpkin pie. In fact, I believe the holiday's full title is: Thanksgiving: Rise of the Pumpkin Pie. Pumpkin Pie is truly a magical dish. Just one bite will send waves of scrumtrulesence throughout your body. The Puritans actually left evil Britain because of pumpkin pie prohibition. That and they were allergic to dancing or something. So today, while you're enjoying the company of family and some turkey, make sure to celebrate Thanksgiving right and enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie. Your belly will thank you.In other Turkey Day news, my Mom called some relatives in the UK and wished them a happy Thanksgiving. Little did she realize that they don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK. One reason being the Pilgrims and Puritans were basically trying to get away from the other British. Anyway, Happy Turkey Day to the Brits, and the Chinese, and the Kenyans, and the Vegans (Happy Tofurkey Day!), and to everyone else.
And I'll leave you all with this wonderful Turkey Day cartoon:

I am of the opinion that pumpkin pie is the root of everything evil. But everyone else in my family eats it like it's going out of style. Just one more piece of evidence to prove I'm adopted.
Happy Thanksgiving all you late celebrators!
Happy Turkey Day! And although I baked both a pumpkin and pecan pie, I have to say that it is pecan pie that rules!
I love that comic strip! However, I'd say that pumpkin pie is over-rated and with a choice yesterday of pumpkin and cherry, I chose the later!
Pumkin Pie, is there anything better on Thanksgiving?!? I think not.
LOL @ your mom wishing your relatives in the Uk a Happy Thanksgiving.
Methinks Thanksgiving is basically a Harvest Festive. The Pilgrims FINALLY had a good harvest so of course they had to celebrate. Everyone loves a party, even those who wear funny hats and belt buckles on their shoes.
(they left England to escape Religious persecution. Notice the Pilgrim religion is still a big thing in America? Um, no! because they ate too much pumpkin pie and got fat & sassy)
