So, how about we rethink Thanksgiving?
Oh, I don’t want to take away the tradition of turkey and football and listening to Uncle Harold’s stories about the big war in which he never fought but he does remember what life was like back then.Those are family legend, just like Harold.
I’m not going to disrespect the traditional gathering, or what we learned in school about the Native Americans and the Pilgrims getting together to eat and drink and talk about western expansion and what kind of corn grows best. We don’t want to stop laying a child’s hand flat on brown construction paper and tracing it to create a long-necked turkey with four feathers. (Try to remember how to draw a cornucopia with the proper array of squash and root vegetables spilling out.)
