I happen to recall an old joke from a famous comedian where the artist discusses how he celebrated Thanksgiving Day by inviting his neighbors and offering them a grand feast. During the feast, where the guests were expecting a Thanksgiving place card, instead, he poisoned them to death and seized their land. Well, Thanksgiving is all about laughing, celebrating, and growing together in a hope of a bright future.
