THANKSGIVING
TONGUE TWISTERS
Can you say these Thanksgiving tongue twisters ten times
fast?
Ten tricky two-toed turkeys trotted on the table.
Greedy gobblers grabbed the gravy.
Floyd flipped five fine flapjacks!
Six sick swans slurped soup slowly.
Chef chopped cheese chunks cheerfully.
Betty baked a better batch of buttered biscuits.
Eleven leaping lizards licked lovely lemon lollipops.
Peter Pilgrim picked a peck of pickled peppers;
a peck of pickled peppers, Peter Pilgrim picked.
If Peter Pilgrim picked a peck of pickled peppers,
where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Pilgrim picked?
Peter Pilgrim picked pretty plump pumpkins!

Thanksgiving
Poem
With Our Warmest Good Wishes to You!
We hope you know that we've been
thinking especially of you. Over the
miles and through all the days apart,
you have been in so many of our
wishes and happiest thoughts.
Time cannot change the kind of
feelings held deep within the heart,
and no distance is so great that it
cannot be bridged by the warmest
wishes and the nicest memories
that life can give.
As this message comes your way,
we hope this day finds you enjoying
a wondrous time... with so much
to be thankful for.
-Poem by J.M. Colter
