I thought it was important enough to forward on to you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day celebration! =============== Ten Commandments for Thanksgiving: 1. Turkey is a jealous bird. Thou shalt have no other pizza, burritos or Big Macs before it. Turkey-loaf and tur-duck-ens are cult rituals. If it doesn't have legs and a stuffing compartment, it's blasphemy. 2. Thou shalt not forget the cranberry relish. Serving cranberry relish on Thanksgiving is a traditional way to remind us why we never serve it the rest of the year. 3. Thou shalt not bogart thy gravy boat. 4. Honor thy Lions and thy Packers. Better to serve a turkey as dry as baked corduroy than to interrupt a game that is closer than 42 points. 5. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's giant TV. Pass the casserole 6. Thou shalt not kill the spirit of Thanksgiving by ladling guilt on every plate. Vegetarians, environmentalists, experts on heart disease, Mothers Against Terry Bradshaw and People for the Ethical Treatment of Butterball Turkeys have 364 days of the year to annoy us. On Thanksgiving, they should remain silent or risk having their lips glued shut with green-bean casserole. 7. Warning: Deep-fried turkey may be hazardous to your health. If turkeys were meant to be fried, God would have stuffed them with fries. 8. No children at the Big Table until they can pass the gravy boat without drenching Grandma. 9. Honor thy founding fathers. Students who can't find the Pacific Ocean on a map of Hawaii need to know about the courage and sacrifice of men like Thomas Paine. 10. Honor the God of heaven and earth, who gives us so many blessings to be thankful for.
