Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless
Christmas dinner's dark and blue
When you stop and try to see it
From the turkey's point of view.
Sunday dinner isn't sunny
Easter feasts are just bad luck
When you see it from the viewpoint
Of a chicken or a duck.
Oh how I once loved tuna salad
Pork and lobsters, lamb chops too
'Til I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner's point of view.

I am thankful for many things in my life. First, I am thankful that I get to have a roof over my head every night. Also, I’m thankful for having people that care about me, and love me. Every night I get to come home to food on my plate, that’s great too.
I am thankful for many things like, having a nice house to come home to after school. I am also thankful for having a loving family that I get to see everyday and that love me. Another thing I'm thankful for is the food that my parents buy me. Thats what I am thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!
I am thankful for lots of things. For one, my family. I am thankful for my family because without them I would be all alone. I am also thankful for food. I am thankful for food because I could be less fortunate and not get fed at all, so that makes me very thankful.
I dont want to go all corny, and say Im thankful for life blah bah blah...(even though I am thankful for it) But there are alot of good things in life to be thankful for. Like the fact that my parents havent lost their jobs, and the fact that even though the economy's been bad I can still do the things I like to do like take dance lessons, go to the movies, and other things along those lines. I didnt want to say I am thankful for family, friends, and the roof over my head, because as I said before I am. But there are other things that people tend to forget when they're thinking abou things like this.
There are many things that I am thankful for. One of which I am thankful for is for being alive. Also for having food served every day, and having friends and family to talk to so I don't go crazy talking to myself all the time. I am thankful for so many other things that may take up the whole page so I won't write any more of them. By the way the poem is very good.
For Thanksgiving this year, I am thankful for my health. I am also thankful for my family's health too. I am always excited when brother and sister come home from college. I know it's hard for them some times, since they are all the way up in Tallahassee. But since we are such a close, great family, they try to come home every year for the holidays. My sister is home right now and my brother is coming home tonight. We are all healthy and happy, which makes me very thankful. These are the things that I am thankful for this fall season. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!
Some of the things that I am most thankful for is a safe and loving home, food to eat and most importantly my family! Every Thanksgiving my grandparents come to visit and we always have an annual family game night with some special friends. We eat leftovers and everyone gets to pick a "game" name. The best one is my grandmother's, she's the Black Widow. It is so much fun and we laugh all night long.
Some thing's im really thankful for are, My family, My house, The food I eat, And the thing's I have. I'm fourtunet to have those things, Because not alot of kid's or family's have that. And that's what I'm most thankful for. By the way i liked the video you put up, it was funny.

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for many things. I would like to give thanks to my family. For being such a great one and always putting me in front of themselves. For being supportive and kind. They catch me when I fall! A big special thanks goes to my soon-to-be little brother; Brian. He's given us delight and joy and the experience of a lifetime- and he's not even born! Also, a big thanks to my teachers and class for letting me annoy them- asking them if they like the name Brain and telling them to write it down on a piece of paper! Thanks for health and happiness.
