Yesterday I braved the grocery store for more Thanksgiving provisions and as I was pushing the buggy out to my car, a cheerful woman with her own buggy loaded ccalled out, "Well, we got one hard part done!"
"Yep, " I replied, "now for the cooking."
"Happy Thanksgiving to you too," she said, "And Merry Christmas. I'm not politically correct."
"Well, Merry Christmas to you!" I replied. "And a Happy Hannukah, and Kawanza, and everything else! "
I kinda felt like I'd been visited by the Spirit of Thanksgiving.
