Admittedly those of no faith at least some of us are wondering why the current president thinks we are against Thanksgiving. Off hand the only group against it are Jehovah’s Witnesses. I recognize it as a harvest festival, a chance to enjoy good food with family and friends. I think of those who invite all they know whether college student not going home for the holiday or an elderly widow to come to their Thanksgiving. I think of the local restaurant whose owner for the past quarter century serves a free meal to all on Thanksgiving day until he runs out (1500 people fed last year). I think of the workers, many undocumented, who ensure we have food to eat.
