Christmas jacket keep me warm. I'll put you on me. So you will have to do your job.

The weather is finally getting cold down here in Texas! And not "cold in the morning, then shoot back up to 80 by noon" cold, either! I love this cold weather. It's absolutely beautiful!

I understand that some of y'all Yanks up north might consider our "cold weather" to be rather mild. Baby stuff. But what y'all also gotta understand is that we ain't used to none of this cold weather! Just last week, I was out in shorts and a t-shirt! I know I know, you're probably still saying, "Feh! Sissy stuff."

In any case, y'all better know that you'd fry in one of our Texas summers.

Happy Thanksgiving!

You may remember this post, where I once said that I was going to be a singer with my cousin. We had written a song called "Thanksgiving" to the tune on a kiddie Casio keyboard that had Baby Kermit on it.

Today, I am going to post the lyrics to this masterpiece for all of you to enjoy.


Thanksgiving
Written by Elisa Leal and Daniela Riojas

Thanksgiving is the day
To remember what we're thankful for
Thanksgiving is the day
To remember what we're thankful for

The Pilgrims came to America
The Pilgrims came to America
And made friends with the Indians.

They had a great big feast
To realize what they've done
They had a great big feast
To realize what they've done

Thanksgiving is the day
To remember what we're thankful for
Thanksgiving is the day
To remember what we're thankful for



I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Gobble gobble gobble.
