Family

Thanksgiving centers upon family. You spend time with your grandparents, your uncles and aunts, your step-niece and her mom, your nephews and sister-in-law, your great-aunt Marie and her boyfriend Sylvester who carries with him various unclean animals, your brother Todd and his friend Joey the pharmacist, your sister Gale who lost her walking-cane in the war, your cousin Charlie the number runner, your other cousin Scott who was born openly weird, and your father who sells insurance for a living.

Love as well the sisters and brothers of your extended family. Praise God for cooking your food, and be thankful for the fact that you all are wearing clothing.

Family is something to cherish, even if your loved ones make you feel ashamed. You should respect your elders, lest you end up among the infidels on the Last Day. The only caveat to this is that once you yourself become elderly, the respect should stop: you should retire to Tartarus. 

I, for one, am very close to my own family: our favorite actor is William Holden. Every Thanksgiving we watch the movie Executive Suite (1954) and lament the downfall of Corporate America.
