When my sister and I were kids, my dad made chocolate dipped marshmallows every Christmas for years.
They always had two coats of chocolate.
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm!
Never had any others as good as his.

Family Traditions
Thanksgiving = Family
When I was a child, we sang this song in school every November.
“Over the river and through the wood,
To Grandfather’s house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the wood,
Trot fast, my dapple-gray!
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound!
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
“Over the river and through the wood —
Now Grandmother’s cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!”
(Excerpted from “Thanksgiving Day”)
