MY WIFE STARTED THE TRADITION OF THE FAMILY DANCING WITH THE TURKEY DECADES AGO. THEN WHEN THE KIDS GREW UP AND THEY ASKED THEIR FRIENDS WHEN WILL THEY BE DANCING WITH THE TURKEY BEFORE THEY COOKED IT? WELL THEIR FRIENDS HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, DANCING WITH THE TURKEY?!!. WELL THAT PROMPTED A PHONE CALL HOME TO LET THEIR MOM KNOW THAT DANCING WITH THE TURKEY IS NOTHING ANYBODY HAD EVER HEARD OF!
THE WAY I SEE IT IS THAT IT'S SIMPLY A WAY OF HONORING THE ANIMAL YOU ARE ABOUT TO EAT, A TRADITION AS OLD AS MANKIND ITSELF.
THESE DAYS WE STILL DANCE WITH THE TURKEY AROUND OUR HOUSE.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE.
