Cappy says we cannot go into the holiday season before the WKRP turkey drop and he is right. Thanksgiving is an artificial construct, the date has changed often in our nation’s history including when FDR fiddled around with the official date.
Here’s the thing. We are having our family Thanksgiving today. Two-thirds of my kids and their related offspring and significant others will be on hand at the old homestead to feast and enjoy one another’s company. I will be tired and stressed to make sure everything is finished on time and fit to eat. It is just after 5:00 AM and I’m already plotting the cooking schedule.
It will be without remorse when I drag out the Christmas decorations next weekend.
The turkeys have dropped.
I have been wearing my 1st Annual WKRP Thanksgiving Turkey Drop Shirt this past week. Unfortunately no one noticed or commented. I think it's because most of the humans walking around were born after 1978 and therefore have no CLUE what it references. lol
ReplyDeleteHave a great day with your family on your Turkey day, no matter the date. Don't stress is some dish doesn't get done in time. Family time is what matters. 8-)))

ReplyDeleteThanks for the walk down that memory lane. I laughed almost as hard as the first time it was on TV. Loved that show.
ReplyDeleteHappy (rhymes with Cappy) family Thanksgiving.
