The Most Perfect Holiday, except if you’re a bird!
Written by Jimmy
This is the most perfect of holidays, American Thanksgiving. The fourth Thursday of November. It is not overly commercialised. It is about family. It is about giving thanks (it’s in the name!). And while it is also about American Football, it always has been and that’s not a bad thing. Stuff yourself silly and watch the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears beat each other silly in some snowstorm.
The most perfect of holidays. Unless you’re a bird. And I think that is what Gus was trying to tell us all along…
So let’s take a moment to think about birds…
There are nice little Musical Groups named after birds…
….like the Eagles
…or the Byrds
There are great songs about birds…(and, of course the web has a top ten list: click here)
… like Free Bird
…or Little Wing…
Or Bird is the World…
There are musicians names Bird…
…most notably Charlie “Bird” Parker…
Birds and photos go well together…
But the other thing about Birds is they taste good.
Which is why this…
Becomes this…
For which we are thanksful…
Which is why it the most perfect of holidays…
Except if you’re a bird…
