Here's a jingle from me to you. [reposting from an email I received!]

______________________________________________

T'was the night of Thanksgiving,
But I just couldn't sleep
I tried counting backwards,
I tried counting sheep.


The leftovers beckoned The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation With all of my might.

Tossing and turning with anticipation,
The thought of a snack became infatuation.


So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.



Gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.



I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.

I crashed through the ceiling, Floating into the sky,
With a mouthful of pudding And a handful of pie.

But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees. . . .
Happy eating to all - pass the cranberries please.

May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes 'n gravy Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.



MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING BE BLESSED! !

And you worker bees out there...enjoy your time off from work!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL


Thank you, and same back atcha.

Good luck on Friday morning. Crack o'dawn? No thanks! Nothing could entice me out to the mall on Black Friday. I learned my lesson years ago.

Thanks singrdave!


Ya know, I did too. There's no way I'm going out there although my 16 year old is trying to convice me to do it! People forget who they are on that day. They become monsters with two heads!

Happy Thanksgiving!  But I will be working Friday Morning.  Not all day, but enough to keep me out of the malls!

Cute jingle! You have a great Thanksgiving as well. I tend to agree it is best to stay away from the malls on Friday; the deals are most of the time not worth it! I am staying home and being lazy from the previous day!

Thank you!
I sent my sister a similar version last year and she just howled with
laughter!

Happy Thanksgiving to you too !

You do the same Jenny! Thanks for the well wishes. I hear ya about the lazy part. After all the eating who wants to lift a finger! We will be like Garfield the Cat! Now he lives a charmed life!

Glad you like it Trudy. I thought it was pretty amusing too! You have a wonderful, wonderful holiday!

Happy Thanksgiving, FS!

I don't even like going to the mall when it's near empty so NO WAY do I want to go on Friday. I'll be spending it like I always spend it on Thanksgiving and the day after, right on the couch watching football and feeding my face.

If you do go, good luck finding a good parking space. Good luck with road rage, and I hope you don't punch out any other shoppers. Some do tend to be rude.

May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs
Only to be challenged again when Christmas threatens your size.

Happy Thanksgiving FS! I hope you and your family have a great day!

Black Friday...No Way...I will be serving the crazy shoppers soup and coffee though and listen to their horror stories!
Have a delicious day.

Hey UDigit! I enjoyed mine and I'm sure you enjoyed your turkey too!! No way did I go out into that madness! Spending it on the couch was good for you I'm sure!

Steven! That's really cute! I think it's a little too late for that worry! Now I have to spend the next two weeks detoxifiying myself after all that eating!!
