The
Catchy Title
giving thanks to subtitles since early april
Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks. Giving thanks is the main purpose of Thanksgiving. If one had to find a singular reason to celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving, the singular reason would invariably be: to give thanks. When one gives one’s thanks, it is really a way to show that one is grateful for all the things one has to be thankful for. If a person were thankful for bread, then one would give thanks for bread. They may even say, "Thank goodness for bread!". That is the purpose of Thanksgiving.
There are many important ways to give thanks. One way is to "pray". When one prays, one shows one’s gratitude to the Lord Almighty for the bountiful bounty they are so lucky to have bounted. Another way is to eat a lot of food. This is a lot easier than "prayer" and most often does not get you killed. In regions where others pray differently from you, everyone in that region will hate you and not give you food. Therefore, it is easier to obtain food than to "pray". When one is eating food, it is customary to both chew and swallow the food. If one does not chew one’s food, it will almost invariably clog the esophagus of said person and choke them to their untimely death. If one does not swallow the food, then it all collects in the tongue region, and none goes to the stomach. If no food goes to the stomach for a prolonged period of time, then one wastes away and starves to their untimely death. As you can see, it is imperative to follow all procedures in relation to chewing and swallowing. Chewing and swallowing shows immense amounts of personal gratitude and is a great way to give thanks.
Thanksgiving just isn’t about giving thanks and eating food. It is also about…. Well, it’s also about…um…..
Thanksgiving is only about giving thanks and eating food. Sometimes one gives thanks while eating food. Other times, one gives thanks for eating food. Other times, one gives food for eating thanks. And still other times, one thanks fooding for gives eat. In any case, Thanksgiving is an important time to give thanks and also eat food.
Turkey is a popular treat for celebrators of Thanksgiving. Turkey is a wonderful place in between the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. Its capitol is present-day Istanbul, a fabulous city that used to be called Constantinople. This lovely country was the center of the once-mighty Ottoman Empire. After World War I, the Ottoman Empire was destroyed, as it was on the losing side. The Central Powers of WWI fought the Allies, in a brutal war that lasted from 1914 to 1918. Trenches armed with powerful machine guns, unrestricted submarine warfare, and poison gas were all deadly factors of the First World War.
So, on this passing thanksgiving, let us all give thanks for the thanks we have to give. Some people have less thanks to give than others. This only adds to the thanks the rich in thankfulness have to add to their overfilled coffers of gratitude. In adding thanks for being thankful itself, those with more thanks than others assure themselves to be more thankful for being thankful for years to come. But, given this capitalistic system of thanks, everyone has at least one thing to be thankful for. And that is bread. Thank goodness for bread.
