Give it up for.....Turkey Carols!

I hate how Christmas begins in October. I hate going into a store and hearing Christmas carols BEFORE Thanksgiving. I know I am not alone.  As much as I love the holiday season- I really, really hate that it starts so damn early.

So in the spirit of Turkey Day- here are some Thanksgiving Carols...I am sure you can figure out the tunes on your own. Enjoy!  (p.s. I didn't make these up- well- I changed a few words here and there- but the creative license goes to another)

A THANKSGIVING SONG

Tur-KEY roasting on an open fire,

Gravy cooking on the stove.

Thanksgiving carols being sung by a fire,

Our eyes as big as Oreos.

Everybody knows some turkey and some cranberries

Help to make the season bright.

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know Thanks-GIHHHHVVV-ing’s on its way,

And that means lots of white and dark meat on a tray.

And every mother’s child is gonna try

To see if they can eat everything on the table and not die.

And so I’m offering this simple phrase

For kids from 1 to 92.

Although it’s been said, many times, many ways,

Merry Turkeyday

Tooooooooooooooooooooo

You.

THANKSGIVING

I’m dreaming of a Thanks-giving

Just like the ones I used to know.

Where the turkeys glisten

And children listen

To hear someone at the do’.

I’m dreaming of a Thanks-giving

With every mouthful that I bite.

May your days be merry and bright.

And may all your Thanksgivings-es be all right.

Here's hoping that you will be singing these LOUDLY the next time you are in a store that insists on Christmas carols too damn early.  Who knows, maybe it will catch on!
