Here are some posts I’ve read over the last 24 hours that I think are well worth reading on this Thanksgiving Day.
Let’s begin with RedState.org, which has reproduced a couple of historical documents from the Founding Fathers of the USA.
At HughHewitt.com, there’s a link to a very funny Thanksgiving e-card from the American Greetings company.
Michelle Malkin offers a recipe for Thanksgiving pie and a few links to chew on.
And Tom Asacker, as always, offers some thoughtful comments well worth reading.
Several years ago, I interviewed Pastor Chuck Swindoll about Thanksgiving. I asked for the interview because I had heard him comment about how he likes Thanksgiving more than Christmas. During our conversation, Chuck talked about all the things he likes about Thanksgiving; but especially how it’s a holiday that hasn’t become loaded down with commercial enterprise, like Christmas has.
Like Chuck Swindoll, Roy Williams says Thanksgiving is his favorite holiday. I agree.
This is our third Thanksgiving since we moved to Charlotte, NC. Last year because of a special last-minute deal offered by US Airways, the family was able to fly back to Minnesota to spend a good bit of the weekend with our extended family there; but this time as we did during 2003, we’ll be grateful together here in Charlotte, just us and our kids.
UPDATE: If you have any affection for the traditional Thanksgiving hymn We Gather Together, don’t miss this post at the online edition of the Wall Street Journal.
