Olwen: Wake up little ones, it is Thanksgiving Day!
Hammie: What's that?
Olwen: Thanksgiving is a holiday. I don't know much about it. I had to read a book!
Audrey: I know! I got to wear a Pilgrim dress last time. You have to get dressed up!
Hammie: I don't want to wear a Pilgrim dress.
Olwen: I guess I can put on my white dress. That is festive.
Audrey: I like dresses! You have to wear a bonnet too! Like me.
Olwen: Lay still, Audrey, I can't unbutton you when you wiggle so.
Hammie: So after you wear dumb dresses, then what?
Olwen: Well, read that there is a turkey bird that is made into a dinner and you eat a lot of food, like a Nisse feast. And you say thank you for a having food to eat.
Hammie: Do we have a turkey bird?
Olwen: Well, no. But you could paint a picture of one.
Audrey: What do they look like?
Olwen: They are brown with a colourful tail, and BIG! They have long legs too. They say "gobbling" or something like that.
Hammie: I can paint one!
Olwen: Well, here is some paper and paint. Make a turkey while I put together our feast!
Audrey: Make it brown!
Hammie: Yeah, I know.
Hammie: Big and round! and Gobbling.
Audrey: And a red tail feather too! And a blue one, and a green one!
Hammie: I already got a blue feather!
Audrey: I write "Hapy Bird" on it. I think that's what you are suppose to say.
Hammie: What a silly thing to say.
HAPY BIRD!!!!!
Audrey: Where is the turkey?
Olwen: Well, there wasn't one in the pantry, but I found TURKEY FRANKFURTERS. So I say "thank you" for finding food that is good for us to eat!
Hammie: Thank you for yummy cranberry juice!
Audrey: I like turkey frankffurdies! Thank you for nummies!
Hammie: I like them MORE that you do! YUMMY!
Olwen: There is more salad if you would like some.
Audrey: MMMMM cakes!
~Later~
Olwen: (thinking to herself) I think I did that holiday right. At least a Nisse version of it!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
