Frankly, I think Thankgiving's a "dunch" or a "linner"! No, really! I don't get it! Thanksgiving's an afternoon meal? I'm not exactly objecting; I'd just like an explanatory speil! Why don't we serve it at dusk, a dinnertime tradition? How did Thankgiving Dinner get an afternoon partition? It's a legitimate question, and I'd love an explanation, But until then, I'm outta here, and thanks for this nation.
