Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 P_T, I think that your Thanksgiving celebration sounds great and I admire it. So many people think the meaning of this day is to watch football and pig out. The celebration that you are going to sounds very honorable and brings back some culture that this country is lacking. Kudos to you all. Cheers, Shawn " If, at first, you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment.
