It's Thanksgiving Day, 2008. Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday of mine, second only to Christmas. It has so many good memories associated with it that it is also inspires nostalgia.
When I was growing up in Pittsburgh Pennslyvania, we always celebrated Thanksgiving at our house. As there were already twelve of us, and if you threw in two grandmothers, a few aunts and uncles, and twenty or so cousins it was quite a tribe participating.
We always watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on television, followed by a football game or two. As there were only three channels from which to choose, there wasn't much opportunity to watch anything else.
And since it was Pittsburgh, there was plenty of beer and wine consumed by the adults. This added to the general aura of revelry and levity. And that invariably led to music.
I remember that everyone, adult and child alike, sang like there was no tomorrow! We sang classic tunes, and show tunes, and Christmas carols, and even rock and roll! We had a piano and a few guitars and we had a grand time together!
So when the four or us sit at the Thanksgiving today, I will reminisce about the noisy Thanksgivings of my childhood. What I wouldn't give for one more refrain!
