The Night before Thanksgiving

Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the kitchen;
I was cooking and baking and moanin' and bitchin'.

I've been here for hours, I can't stop to rest,
this rooms a disaster, just look at this mess!

Tomorrow I've got thirty people to feed.
They expect all the trimmings. Who cares what I need!

My feet are both blistered, I've got cramps in my legs.
The cat just knocked over a bowl full of eggs.

There's a knock at the door and the telephone's ringing;
frosting drips on the counter as the microwave's dinging.

Two pies in the oven, dessert's almost done;
my cookbook is soiled with butter and crumbs.

I've had all I can stand, I can't take anymore;
Then in walks my boyfriend, spilling rum on the floor.

He weaves and he wobbles, his balance unsteady;
then grins as he chuckles "The eggnog is ready !"

He looks all around and with total regret,
says "What's taking so long....aren't you through in here yet ??"

As quick as a flash I reach for a knife; He loses an earlobe;
I wanted his life !

He flees from the room in terror and pain
and screams "MY GOD WOMAN, YOU'RE GOING INSANE !!"

Now what was I doing, and what is that smell ?
Oh, darn, it's the pies !! They're burned all to hell

I hate to admit when I make a mistake,
but I put them on BROIL instead of on BAKE.

What else can go wrong ?? Is there still more ahead ??
If this is good living, I'd rather be dead.

Lord, don't get me wrong, I love holidays;
It just leaves me exhausted, all shaky and dazed.

But I promise you one thing, If I live till next year,You won't find me
pulling my hair out in here.

I'll hire a maid, a cook, and a waiter;
and if that doesn't work, I'LL HAVE IT ALL CATERED!!!

        Off hand, it's something to do with Pilgrim Fathers and their thanksgiving for
        the first harvest.

        THE FIRST THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
        JUNE 20, 1676

        Did you know that Thanksgiving was originally in the summer?

        "The Holy God having by a long and Continual Series of
        his Afflictive dispensations in and by the present Warr
        with the Heathen Natives of this land, written and
        brought to pass bitter things against his own Covenant
        people in this wilderness, yet so that we evidently
        discern that in the midst of his judgements he hath
        remembered mercy, having remembered his Footstool in the
        day of his sore displeasure against us for our sins, with
        many singular Intimations of his Fatherly Compassion, and
        regard; reserving many of our Towns from Desolation
        Threatened, and attempted by the Enemy, and giving us
        especially of late with many of our Confederates many
        signal Advantages against them, without such Disadvantage
        to ourselves as formerly we have been sensible of, if it
        be the Lord's mercy that we are not consumed, It
        certainly bespeaks our positive Thankfulness, when our
        Enemies are in any measure disappointed or destroyed; and
        fearing the Lord should take notice under so many
        Intimations of his returning mercy, we should be found an
        Insensible people, as not standing before Him with
        Thanksgiving, as well as lading him with our Complaints
        in the time of pressing Afflictions:

        The Council has thought meet to appoint and set apart the
        29th day of this instant June, as a day of Solemn
        Thanksgiving and praise to God for such his Goodness and
        Favour, many Particulars of which mercy might be
        Instanced, but we doubt not those who are sensible of
        God's Afflictions, have been as diligent to espy him
        returning to us; and that the Lord may behold us as a
        People offering Praise and thereby glorifying Him; the
        Council doth commend it to the Respective Ministers,
        Elders and people of this Jurisdiction; Solemnly and
        seriously to keep the same Beseeching that being
        perswaded by the mercies of God we may all, even this
        whole people offer up our bodies and soulds as a living
        and acceptable Service unto God by Jesus Christ."
