MILITARY Ch ri st ma s pa rt y to assemble care packages In New England the saying is, "Christmas to the young, Thanksgiving to the old." The saying like most bits of folk-lore has its roots in a common fact of living. Youth does not tend toward gratitude. It does not tend toward introspection. It does not tend toward a sense of proportion. And it is these tendencies that must unite to make the thankful heart. Not that young people do not love Thanksgiv- ing. They do. And coun- try children love it more than city children do, and children of servant- less families love it more than those of the well to do. The reason is obvi- ous. Thanksgiving day to a child is a feast day, and half the joy of a feast is in its preparation. What simply reared, country bred grown up would give up the mem- ory of Thanksgiving day at home, for all the pres- ent comfort of a French cook and an elaborate menage? First there was the business of the turkey. A turkey was no ordinary every Sunday in winter bird in those days. Turkey twice a year was the rule, on Thanksgiving day and Christmas; on New Year's day, goose or duck. The turkey was chosen anxiously, while mother poked its breast bone, and father commented on the length and color of the pin feathers. The afternoon before Thanks- giving school was always let out early, in time for brother to fly into the kitchen and since the turkey and for sister to break up the bread crusts carefully saved for weeks. Mother stuffed the turkey. Sister threaded the darn- ing needle that sewed in the stuffing, brother car- ried the bird to the cellar to await tomorrow's oven. Then there were the first cranberries of the season, the first nuts, the first pumpkin pies. Thanksgiving day was always cold and cloudy, and about mid afternoon, when one had reached a state of coma from over eating, it be- gan to snow. Mother always asked a school teacher for dinner, and always some bache- lor of the neighborhood. And always some dear neighbor or friend, or once, grandmother; and once, little sister had died during the year, and on noticed it more than ever at the Thanksgiving din- ner. After dinner all the women folks and the girls gathered all in the kitchen to wash dishes, and the men folks and the boys went out to look at the stock. It is for memories like these that older people are thankful, for these and other blessings. For the simple, homely facts of living; for the oppor- tunity to serve with had and mind those that we love, for happy yesterdays spent with those who loved us and are gone, for strength to see and hear and think and work, and for an occasional bit of leisure in which to dream; these make our older Thanksgiving day. — Nov. 25, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
