Pilgrim Paige after a Thanksgiving pre-school activity 2 years ago.
My Grandma has been hanging on to this since 1986 and she recently sent it over to me.
THANKSGIVING
T hanksgiving comes but once a year.
H ow we look forward to the big day !
A nd it's off to our grandparent's house we go.
N early all of our family will show,
K nowing that grandma's dinner will be on the way.
S itting down to the table, I catch grandma's eye and ---
G iving me a wink, she brings out the turkey,
I nviting all to come to the table to take their places.
V egetables are passed, and the children make faces.
I ce cream and pie is all they can see.
N ow filled with dinner and out we all go,
G iving hugs and kisses as it starts to snow.
