A little late but funny-maybe you have read this

Some of you may have seen this but I hadn't until this morning and I thought it was so true of a lot of us. Subject: Thanksgiving set-up
> Dear Bob & Joanne,
>
> Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. I'm> telling you in advance, so don't act surprised. Since Ms. Stewart won't be coming, I've made a few small changes:
>
> Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect.
>
> Once inside, our guests will note that the entry hall is not decorated with the swags of Indian corn and fall foliage I had planned to make. Instead, I've gotten Caroline and Madeline involved in the decorating by having them track in colorful autumn leaves from the front yard. The mud was their idea.
>
> The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy china, or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork.
>
> Since this IS Thanksgiving, we will refrain from using the plastic Peter Rabbit plate and the Santa napkins from last Christmas.
>
> Our centerpiece will not be the tower of fresh fruit and flowers that Renee promised. Instead we will be displaying a hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest construction paper. Our
> granddaughter artist next door assures me it is a turkey.
>
> We will be dining fashionably late. The dogs and football will entertain you while you wait. I'm sure the family next door will be happy to share every choice comment I have made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims and the turkey hotline. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00
> a.m. upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to cut diamonds and I didn't notice until much later that their bedroom window was open last night.
>
> As accompaniment to the neighbor's dog barking when people walk down the street, I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If someone should mention that I don't own a recording of tribal drumming, or that
tribal drumming sounds suspiciously like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, ignore them. They are lying.
>
> We toyed with the idea of ringing a dainty silver bell to announce the start of our feast. In the end, we chose to keep our traditional method. We've also decided against a formal seating arrangement.
When the smoke alarm sounds, please gather around the table and sit where you like.
>
> In the spirit of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at a separate
> table. In a separate room. Next door.
>
> Now, I know you have all seen pictures of one person carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative onlookers. This will not be happening
> at our dinner. For safety reasons, the turkey will be carved in a private ceremony. I stress "private" meaning: Do not, under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me. Do not send small, unsuspecting children to check on my progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. It stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do,we will eat.
>
> I would like to take this opportunity to remind my young diners that "passing the rolls" is not a football play. Nor is it a request to bean your sister in the head with warm tasty bread.
>
> Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and small
> fingerprints. You will still have a choice; take it or leave it.
>
> Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. She probably won't come next year either.
>
> We are thankful!
