Da Blogs Da Thang: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Published Wednesday, November 23, 2005 by lecram sinun | E-mail this post

Of all American holidays Thanksgiving is probably my favorite. The idea of appreciating what and who we are blessed with in our lives is a wonderful reminder that we should probably carry with us year round.

To me this holiday is akin to the family meal the Chinese partake in on the eve of Chinese New Year. On that night the family returns to the parental homestead and any grudges or ill will is forgiven so as to begin the new year fresh and with a clean slate. Sentiment? Perhaps. But a cool idea nevertheless that deserves encouragement.

So, here's wishing ALL of you a wonderful turkey day. (SSM and I are planning on roasting Chickens in the barbecue - it'll be his last Thanksgiving here for a while.) I have much to be thankful for... not the least of which has been the fun and fellowship I have been privileged to have shared with all of you over these few months through this blog. For more thoughts on the holiday season go to my friend Zonthar's blog.

Terima Kasih! (Thank You in Malay... which translates directly to "Received with Love")

EDIT: 5 PM: I won't be able tyo participate in HNT today as there is a shitload of pre-Thankgiving errands to run. I'll see you all soon.... have a good one!

have a good turkey day, even with chicken, which i prefer anyway...it's less gamey.

plus, watching lecram stick his hand inside the chicken's skin and rub it down with spices is kind of hot.

I like that idea. The Chinese have got it going on. Imagine if we would all practice that; our boys & girls could come home.
