Holidays just aren't the same without the one you love the most.
Michael ate his dinner all by himself in his room because the DFAC was too full.
He didn't want to wait in line for 30 minutes for pie. It broke my heart to hear he ate alone, him going without pie didn't really make me too sad:)
This is just one of the things hes willing to do...for you.

Here is my poem for the annual Burton Thanksgiving Day
poem contest.
The First Thanksgiving..something to think about.
Did the Pilgrims invite the Indians to eat
Or did the Indians say "It would be our treat?"
Then they put another leaf in their wooden table
and ate as much Stouffer's stuffing as they were able.
Something to think about....
Why was it Turkey, and not spaghetti
Did the pilgrims have celiacs , allergic to bready?
Did they just have corn, or corn on the cob?
was anyone named cecilia or Bob?
Something to think about....
What kind of games did the little kids play
was it video games, the wii or TV all day
Was it Red rover red rover sent 'Eagle Feather' right over
Then pretend to be monsters like Cookie and Grover.
Something to think about....
Did the adults sit around and talk politics
Or who'd win the world series, Yankees or nicks?
Did they fight about who had to do the clean up
Then pore more Martinelli's into their cup?
Something to Think about....
Did they tell uncle Louie to play them a song
on old grandmas piano, don't make it too long?
Did the indians dance with the old turkeys feather
Then sit around talking about the cold weather?
Something to think about....
Did they say they were stuffed, could not eat one more bite.
Then unbutton their pants to make them less tight
When eaten to much, and had to go number two
Did they number there bowels, or simply say poo
Something to think about....
Did the Indians choose this time to not be forgiving
and want back their land, prior they'd only been living.
Or did they give courtesy hugs when saying adieu.
a nice pat on the back a.. "Nice to see you"
Something to think about....
Did they go to their homes, tuck the kids into bed.
Checking their facebook, 3 messages read.
Then turn up the heat, its a cold one tonight
Thank goodness for Tums, pie ain't sit'n right.
Something to think about...
If the Pilgrims and Indians hadn't gotten together
and plucked a big turkey, every last feather.
And eaten cornbread with their spoons made of leather.
We wouldn't be here, on Thanksgiving together..
Something to think about....

That hurts my heart to think of Michael eating Thanksgiving dinner all alone- especially a dinner that looks that unappetizing! At least he LOOKS like he's enjoying it. I wish we were there to hear all your poems in person- I heard it was HI-larious. Congratulations Michael for winning the coveted first place prize (I think you should post that poem as well so we all get to hear it)
Please let him know that he is appreciated.
You are so very clever. Really, i'm impressed and entertained.
