Thanksgivign was coming and so the bread was set out to get in shape to be stuffing
with the help of this soup
as liquids of all sorts were assembled
and the refrigerator was full
even as the green beans
and Brussels sprouts
came together
and were joined by more vegetables
and pies and all from Main Street
as Brussels sprouts rolled
and there was peeling
and cutting
even as the fruit appeared
including tomatoes
and there was grinding
and draining
with new flowers
as the fruit
shared the stage with the flowers
as the packages
of corn bread were opened
to celebrate the appearances of Joel and Ben
and Scott and Jane
so that we could celebrate Hannukah
The new day began with stuffing
and a lot of turkey motion
with the ever present fruit
as stuffing was served
and macaroni and cheese was rescued
at which point Jane
and Scott appeared
onions were sliced
seeds were dried
and the turkey
minus a few parts
was going through final prep
as mustard was presented
and the final turkey
along with final condiments
was getting ready for the oven
as pepper
and vinegars
and spices
still had to go into the sink
with the turkey
as it made its way through final prep
out of the sink
into the next stage
past the seeds
and gently prepared
so that it could be loaded into the oven
and appropriately placed.
That task completed, work could begin
for the second turkey (actually a breast)

The next morning there were many shoes in the entryway
after which we made our way to the tree lighting
with kids on shoulders
and women posing
before the tree was finally lit
so that we could go home to vegetables
and cell phones
before posing for the traditional Hannukah on Thanksgiving photo (happens every few hundred years) and calling it a day.
The next morning, breakfast was served
Jason and mackenzie posed
and Suzanne washed her last dish.
