“Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life...
a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of
seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year - and the deep, deep connection
of all these things with God. “ Ray Stannard Baker (David Grayson)
