May your Thanksgiving turkey be juicy May your mashed potatoes be lumpy, but your gravy not May your cranberry saucy be jiggly and wiggly and sweet May your stuffing be moist and your dinner rolls buttery May Cool Whip cover your piece of pumpkin pie completely because its Thanksgiving
Let the drunk uncle rant incessantly about controversial politics Let your in laws not get on your nerves, and keep your mouth shut Let the children giggle and wiggle and dance Let the perceived insults roll off your back like water off a duck Let the family enjoy each other's company and relax into the day because its Thanksgiving
Allow the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade to blare on the television Allow the wine to flow freely and the smiles to come more easily Allow the dishes to sit as one more joke is told at the Thanksgiving table Allow easy rhythm of the post Thanksgiving haze envelop you in much earned nap Allow dessert to be eaten before the leftovers for dinner because its Thanksgiving
Prayers for safe passage and good weather for those traveling Prayers for those that cannot be with us this year and those grieving for their loss Prayers for broken families that this time may help repair what is broken Prayers for those that are fighting for their country that they understand we appreciate their sacrifice Prayers that we all realize family and friends are the most important thing at Thanksgiving
