Throwback Thursday: Addams Family Values - Wednesday Addams explains Thanksgiving

For my Thanksgiving post in 2011, I featured this "Addams Family Values" video. Let's repeat it for this Thanksgiving, and, as we sit down with our families for this holiday meal, perhaps it will give us something else to be thankful for!

A history lesson

Got a minute? Well, actually, about fourteen minutes. If so, here is a crash course in the founding of the United States of America and the origins of Thanksgiving. Spoiler alert: It's not the version that Texas school children will be reading about in their new social studies textbooks. Moses doesn't bring the Constitution down, fully written, from Mt. Sinai. 

Thanksgiving thoughts

I hope your Thanksgiving is everything you want it to be. While you are celebrating, spare a thought for the roots of this, my favorite, holiday. Perhaps there is a lesson here for us. (Hat tip to Being Liberal.)

An Addams Family Thanksgiving

Yes, it is that time of year again. Time for another Addams Family Thanksgiving. Enjoy!



I hope your Thanksgiving is a peaceful one with no flaming arrows and no scalpings.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm off to celebrate my very favorite holiday of the year. There's a lot to be thankful for this year. I hope you have a lot to be thankful for, too, and that your holiday is an especially good one.
