The Twelve Days of Thanksgiving On the First Day: We give thanks for the fresh turkey feast and its hot trimmings. On the Second Day: We bless the cold turkey sandwiches, sloshy cranberry sauce and hard rolls. On the Third Day: We praise the turkey pie and vintage mixed veggies. On the Fourth Day: We thank the pilgrims for not serving bison that first time, or we'd be celebrating Thanksgiving until April. On the Fifth Day: We gobble up cubed bird casserole and pray for a glimpse of a naked turkey carcass. On the Sixth Day: We show gratitude (sort of) to the creative cook who slings cashews at the turkey and calls it Oriental. On the Seventh Day: We forgive our forefathers and pass the turkey-nugget pizza. On the Eighth Day: The word "vegetarian" keeps popping into our heads. On the Ninth Day: We check our hair to make sure we're not beginning to sprout feathers. On the Tenth Day: We hope that the wing meat kabobs catch fire under the broiler. On the Eleventh Day: We smile over the creamed gizzard because the thigh bones are in sight. On the Twelfth Day: We apologize for running out of turkey leftovers. And everybody says Amen.
