Question

speech on the occasion of thanks giving day

Answer 1

I would like to say a few words if I may. We are all here today, friends and family, to give thanks as our forefathers did so long ago. This yearly tradition is one of my favorites because it brings us all together, makes us stop our daily lives to spend the (afternoon) together over some good food, some good wine and lots of good company! We are all so busy with our daily lives, our jobs, our friends and loved ones, that there are not that many occasions that we get, to get together as a family, but this is one of them and it's my favorite one! Its one of those holidays we love to prepare as a team and chip in with our different recipes and add-ins that we each want to include to make the meal that extra little bit more special! So today, with us all gathered here, I hope that we can make it through the day without any major arguments...Thanksgiving seems to bring out the best in us, whether it is because we have all come together and aren't used to each other's intense company or that we are all just simply hungry! I like to think that the reason for misunderstandings on Thanksgiving is just because we are all so hungry! ...Right?! So on that note,...as we are all very hungry, with all those great smells coming out of the kitchen and great dishes already laid out before us in this wonderful spread on the table, we need to shift our focus to enjoy the meaning of this holiday! So before we dig in, dear family of mine, thank you for this day, thank you for each other, thank you for making this day what it is and thank you for all of you just being you! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope it helps you buddy..
