THANKSGIVING 2022 has come and gone. I love this quieter, familial prelude to Christmas, a minimalist gathering based on family, friends and food, with emphasis on cornbread stuffing, not on stuff.
I say ‘quieter’, but, until her dying day, my grandmother believed that the fourth Thursday in November was a ‘Yankee holiday’ because it was Abraham Lincoln who, in 1863, proclaimed it an official holiday. She inherited her father’s belief that the President’s call for a ‘day of peace in the midst of war’ celebrated the Union victory at Gettysburg.
God is great. God is good. God, I hope this food is good
