What Would Jesusland Do?
What would be the difference between Thanksgiving menus for Jesusland, as opposed to southern Canada? How would a "Red" Turkeyday differ from a "Blue" one?
Provide both menus, and prayers.
The comments are open...

umm, stuffed tofu with low-carb cranberry sauce?

In Jesusland:
Dear Jesus, thank you for this food...
In Southern Canada:
Dear Government, thank you for welfare, free healthcare, and the food stamps that we used to purchase this food...

Be careful... Alberta is in southern Canada, and we're redder than you. We just elected our conservative government again with a 60% majority.
And despite having to pay a federal sales tax, our overall taxes in Alberta are lower than in half of the U.S. states.

Dan, part of the condition for Canada getting the Blue states, the US of Texas (or Jesusland if you perfer) gets Alberta, Saskatchewan N.W.T, Y.T and any other Red Canadian territories.
Its only far all the food and oil and tar sands are in one country.

Went to see a local performance of "Annie" last week end - after inviting the FDR character to dinner, the Daddy Warbucks character had a line, approximately 'Call Al Smith - what do Democrats eat?'
A little crow seems like it ought to be on the menu, though not very much.

As an atheist, I don't celebrate religious holidays. We had a staff development day, with mandatory attendance. Dec. 24 and 25 is the next one, and I write appraisals the next day. Whining, etc gets factored into these reviews(not a team player for instance). As to food, I had pizza from the local convenience store, which fortunately doesn't close. For Dec 24/25, we're getting Indian food, as a reminder that work can be outsourced...

Well, for one thing, the southern Canada ceremony is held in October. Our prayers usually include:
"....and thank you, Lord, for giving us a Thanksgiving Day different from the Americans, so we're not drowned in their hype and most importantly, so we don't freeze our butts off. For these and many other blessings, we thank you, amen."

P.S. We also frequently give thanks for Canadian beer. If you're an American, try it when you come visit us and you'll see why.

Don't ask me - I've never set foot in a blue state.
