2022 Thanksgiving Day Is A Time To Appreciate The Blessings Past And Present

Nov 23, 2022 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

On Thanksgiving eve before church services, feastings at tables and the Cowboys hold court at AT&T Stadium, it might be wise to close your eyes and take a very deep breath of silence. No one needs to know that you’re doing it... except for you. Just consider your losses and your blessings since the pandemic started nearly three years ago. Yes, there have been many … [Read more...] about 2022 Thanksgiving Day Is A Time To Appreciate The Blessings Past And Present

How To Look Like You’re An Old Pro When It Comes To Thanksgiving’s Cutting Edge Duties

Nov 23, 2022 3:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

One of the challenges of Thanksgiving besides a Cowboys' win is how to carve up the guest of honor — the turkey.

For those who dread the process or are new to the … [Read more...] about How To Look Like You’re An Old Pro When It Comes To Thanksgiving’s Cutting Edge Duties

Even during the years when this country was … [Read more...] about The Purpose Of Thanksgiving May Need A Jump Start For 2020

Helpful Hints For Surviving A Chat With A Turkey

Nov 21, 2018 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Have you ever been seated next to a person whose conversation talents flatlined? Or, perhaps you yourself have had “one-of-those-days” and you’re out of chat fuel. Author/TV personality Barbara Walters wrote “How to Talk to Practically Anyone About Anything.” It became the bible for those who chit chat. As a public service for the holiday feasting up ahead, may we provide … [Read more...] about Helpful Hints For Surviving A Chat With A Turkey

Gratitude Has Been The Main Dish Over The Centuries On Thanksgiving Day

Nov 24, 2016 9:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

The tradition of Thanksgiving began in 1621 when two groups from different backgrounds (the Wampanoag Indians and the Plymouth pilgrims) came together to break bread. Any school child can tell how the Indians had literally helped the newcomers survive the challenges of the new frontier. The colonists created the meal with "fowl" to show their gratitude to the Indians for … [Read more...] about Gratitude Has Been The Main Dish Over The Centuries On Thanksgiving Day

Nov 26, 2015 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Opening the doors to the main brain room of MySweetCharity headquarters, Queenie was filled with lifted nose and closed eyes this morning.

Just A Thanksgiving Eve Reminder

Nov 27, 2013 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

This afternoon while folks are scurrying around to grocery stores to get that last minute Cool Whip or unsalted butter for the crescent rolls, there are those who will be hunkering down for another round of too much cold weather and not enough food or blankets. It’s just the eve of winter and many, both human and animal, are bracing for what is to come. To help them, there … [Read more...] about Just A Thanksgiving Eve Reminder

Queenie Tells Of A Thanksgiving Eve Tale

Nov 20, 2012 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Queenie told the most amazing tale about Thanksgiving eve. When she first discovered her latest husband, he was a brute. He made his legion of staffers work a full day on the Wednesday before turkey day. Queenie, in a moment of regal kindness, suggested that he allow them to only work a half day. Why? Because some of the loyal workers might need to travel to families or start … [Read more...] about Queenie Tells Of A Thanksgiving Eve Tale
