3. What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?

5.
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

10. Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often. Johnny Carson smile

8. I have strong doubts that the first Thanksgiving even remotely resembled the "history" I was told in second grade. But I can see during that (when it comes to holidays) mainstream America's traditions tend to be overeating, shopping, or getting drunk, I suppose it's miracle that the concept of giving thanks even surfaces at all.~ Ellen Orleans wave


Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

Close enough, Cue! These are super tough puzzles. wave

"But I can see during that " -> But considering that
"I suppose it's miracle" -> I suppose it's a miracle

I would have told me to try again lol I thought it sounded off but I couldn't put my finger on it. The omission of the "a" was an oversight. Thanks for the toughie! smile

6. Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence. ~Erma Bombeck

4.

Got no checkbooks, got no banks
Still I'd like to express my thanks
I got the sun in the mornin' and the moon at night.

Yes, from Annie Get Your Gun! Just add an "I" before the "Got" and you're perfect. wave

9. I suppose I will die never knowing what pumpkin pie tastes like when you have room for it. ~ Robert Breault smile
(oops, I'd left out the pie!)

2. Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. thumbsup

7. It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it. ~Alistair Cooke

Smart solve: I had become fixated upon trying to start "this banana in chilling blue..." but could not make that relate to an American doctrine about cranberry sauce! crazy
