Thanksgiving, wittiness, and a slice of pie.

Well, Thanksgiving is coming, in about 24 hours, 3 minutes, and 40 seconds, as I sit down to write this. And I feel like it's a subject I should write upon. But it's not the only subject I have. Reading my blogs lately, I've noticed that, however impactful, or just interesting they may, or may not have been, they haven't been very witty, and that's something I direly hope I can correct. Wittiness to me is one of the most important things I can do in writing. It's one of the best ways to hook a reader(intense beginning line is also a good one, but you sort of need an intense thing to write about. Or for the intense-ness to be sarcastic, which would involve more wit, thus, here you find me). So I'm going to work on that here, hope to get some feedback! Preferably positive, but whatever floats your boat. Although negative things seem like they would sink it rather than float it; your choice though!

So. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving. Thanksg- nevermind.
Thanksgiving is probably one of the best holidays, simply because you really don't have to do much at all. Get together with some friends or family and gorge yourselves. And just be thankful for what you've got. That's basically it. How great is that? Hang with friends, eat, and be thankful. It's great! It almost seems like it shouldn't be a holiday, except that we're celebrating the birth of America. But nobody seems to remember that. Really, it's just a time to give thanks for what God's given you in this life. It's one of the most joyful times of the year, cause even those people who have so little, they can thank him for what they do have. It's basically like national "Thank-you God" day. Which is nice. But why do we have it once a year? I find when somebody gives you life, and everything you ever have, or have had, that you'll be thanking them alot more than that. And usually we do, via prayer. I think every day should be "Thanksgiving". And this holiday can be... Turkey day! Sound good?

I also wanna take some time to tell you some things I hate about Thanksgiving. "Hating things about Thanksgiving?? That doesn't sound good!" You might be saying those words right now; but really it's quite simple, and nothing too extraordinary:
1. I hate pie. I mean seriously, who decided to cook fruity things, or other stuff, and put it in a disgusting flaky crust? Epic fail, if I do say so myself.
2. That cranberry sauce? Absolutely disgusting. Why must something that looks so good, taste so bad? Why can't we just have jello? It's basially the same texture isn't it?
3. This isn't really a hate, just a question. Why is it turkey? What makes a turkey the festive thing for Thanksgiving? Is it the T that matches in Turkey and Thanksgiving? Somehow I doubt it.
4. Finally, I'm curious. I've never been in other countries during the course of Thanksgiving, but do they celebrate it elsewhere? If not, that refutes my idea of a National "Thank-you God" day, although the principle is basically the same.

So yeah, nothing too big! Just some pet peeves.
Have a good Thanksgiving all! Make sure you thank God for what you've got! :)

Arrivederci!
