Title: Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Post by Starlifter on 11/24/10 at 19:10:10

Over the River and Through the Wood

by Lydia Maria Child (1844)

Over the river, and through the wood,
to Grandfather’s house we go;
the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river, and through the wood,
to Grandfather’s house away!
We would not stop for doll or top,
for ’tis Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river, and through the wood—
oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose,
as over the ground we go.

Over the river, and through the wood.
with a clear blue winter sky,
The dogs do bark and the children hark,
as we go jingling by.

Over the river, and through the wood,
to have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring, “Ting a ling ding!”
Hurray for Thanskgiving Day!

Over the river, and through the wood—
no matter for winds that blow;
Or if we get the sleigh upset
into a bank of snow.

Over the river, and through the wood,
to see little John and Ann;
We will kiss them all, and play snowball
and stay as long as we can.

Over the river, and through the wood,
trot fast my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground like a hunting-hound!
For ’tis Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river, and through the wood
and straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go extremely slow—
it is so hard to wait!

Over the river, and through the wood—
Old Jowler hears our bells;
He shakes his paw with a loud bow-wow,
and thus the news he tells.

Over the river, and through the wood—
when Grandmother sees us come,
She will say, “O, dear, the children are here,
bring pie for everyone.”

Over the river, and through the wood—
now Grandmother’s cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

I'm going to eat till I puke! Then I'm going to eat some more! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. That and the 4th of July where I get to blow some things up! (Including me! When I was 12 on the 4th I had a large firecracker remove the tips of 2 fingers on my left hand). Thanksgiving is great cause you don't have to buy anyone anything. You just eat and eat and watch football. Then you can go out and blow up the turkey carcass after dinner. Good times!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Used to watch football, now its deer season for me.

Hope everyone gets to be with some family and say some thanks. Even for the time we had with loved ones who are no longer with us.
