WHY CAN'T YOU TAKE A TURKEY TO CHURCH?

Because they use such FOWL languageWHY DID THE POLICE ARREST THE TURKEY?

They suspected it of fowl play

From the Choir Loft
Do you still consider Thanksgiving to be a part of Christmas? When I was growing up, my mother made us wait until Thanksgiving Day to start playing Christmas music, and we had to wait until the day after Thanksgiving to put up Christmas decorations. Now, the radio stations start playing Christmas music well before Thanksgiving Day (it almost starts on Halloween), and all the stores and shopping malls are all decked out at least a week before. If you have your thanksgiving at your home, is your tree up already and your lights on? Do you play Christmas music during the meal? Once Santa comes by at the end of the Macys Parade...that’s the official kick off to the season for me! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

Thanksgiving Dinner Prayer:
A 4-year-old boy was asked to return thanks before a Thanksgiving dinner. The family members bowed their heads in expectation. He began his prayer, thanking God for all his friends, naming them one by one. Then he thanked God for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all his aunts and uncles. Then he began to thank God for the food. He gave thanks for the turkey, the dressing, the fruit salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, and the cakes, even the Cool Whip. Then he paused, and everyone waited--and waited. After a long silence, the young fellow looked up at his mother and asked, “If I thank God for the broccoli, won't he know that I'm lying?”
