Tis the Season...

Happy holidays, everyone. Enjoy.

A twist on "A Christmas Carol"

In Thanksgiving

We return thanks to our mother, the earth,

which sustains us.

We return thanks to the rivers and streams,

which supply us with water.

We return thanks to all herbs,

which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.

We return thanks to the moon and stars,

which have given to us their light when the sun was gone.

We return thanks to the sun,

that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye.

Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit,

in Whom is embodied all goodness,

and Who directs all things for the good of Her children.

--Iroquois

Happy Thanksgiving

A couple flashbacks.



With this next one, I realized Homer Simpson, of "The Simpsons" is the same character as the father in "The Munsters", Herman Munster. Same guy, same gag. Both work.



Have a great day and weekend, y'all.

Entertainment overnight -- O Holy Night, from Down Under

Love these guys.

An Old, Longtime Favorite Prayer of Thanks

I saw this, years ago, as a child and never forgot it. From the movie "Shenandoah" with, obviously, Jimmy Stewart. I also love what the poster of the video called the clip, naturally.



Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

Your Thanksgiving movie and entertainment for this weekend

and one of the great scenes from it:

Happy Thanksgiving

''I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.'' —Jon Stewart

Today is annual "Buy Nothing Day"--Enjoy

That's right, today, Friday, November 25--the last Friday of November, usually the first day of the big holiday purchasing season is "Buy Nothing Day". Do yourself the favor. Instead of fighting crowds of people trying to get things at stores when every other person is out there doing the same thing--let it go. You can passively fight the consumerism this way. Relax. Enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving
