Thankful to Debate

The Answer is Great than Good because Food is the Rhyming Word.

Let's talk about the blessing of having opinions (Well, at least the ones based on common sense, truth & logic). Everywhere we turn somebody is talking about their feelings on some topic. I believe wholeheartedly in this truth, "Facts are not opinions and Opinions are not facts". But I also believe you can learn something from everyone's opinion (Even if it is "They have no clue what they are talking about"). And that is refreshing to me. 

Macaroni & Cheese

Pecan
It is just overly sweet
goo & nuts

And this time of the year can be very opinionated. As you see I gave mine to the pictures provided. You might disagree but I don't care if you do. It's just a difference of opinion. Most of those are based on our knowledge & experience of a topic or subject. And there is a big blessing in them & what we do with those impressions.

Macaroni & Cheese
I'm scared to say Sweet Potato
because the Pie version will go Bye-Bye
But Candied Yams shouldn't get too comfortable

I'm like the Old El Paso Soft or Hard Taco Commercial
How About BOTH?

We are blessed that our minds are in such a state that we can think with. And not with just function but with emotion also. And debating and smartly arguing means that we are engaging with one another. After a time where life forced us to be physically away from one another, our different beliefs about everything still pushed & pulled around the world. And guess what?  They are some of the things that kept us, no, are keeping us together. Because we like giving our opinion, we make the time we have on this rock we call a world rather thought-provoking

With Final 2 being
Sweet Potato Pie & Lemon Ice Box Pie
Sweet Potato Pie WINS!!!

Just like one of my favorite Thankful songs says, there is So Much to be Grateful For. And Opinions are one of them. And you can't disagree. Or can you?

BECAUSE IT IS

Oh and back to the first topical picture. Good is Great & God is Good. And whether or not if you Thank Him for Your Food. For me, there is no debate about what he is. He's Greatly Good!!! Alright! Ok!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Watching November, Thanks 📺

Christmas movies get all the attention, but Thanksgiving movies have all the heart for the holiday season. It is no secret that I am no fan of celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving. Not until after I see Santa at the end of the Macy's Day Parade do I want to hear & enjoy This Christmas by Donny Hathaway aka the Best Secular Christmas song. I prefer entertainment that tells tales about the Holiday of Gratefulness. There are many, many songs about giving thanks but what about films. Oh, they exist. And I have a few favorites.

Tower Heist So, while the Macy's Day Parade is going on, a luxury condo manager leads a staff of employees to seek revenge on the Wall Street swindler who cheated them. What could go wrong? It's hilarious to find out.

What’s Cooking? This movie moves around to four different Thanksgiving meals, all thrown by families from diverse backgrounds(Black, Jewish, Latinx, & Vietnamese) who think they have a few things in common: stress, food, and stressing over food. But they find out they are tied to one another in ways never seen.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles This is the most known Thanksgiving film. All Steve Martin's character wants to do is make it home for the holiday. But along comes the late, great John Candy's character and shenanigans ensue.

Pieces of April On Thanksgiving night, this is what I watch. I love this movie. Quirky & former rebel, April lives with her boyfriend in a low-rent New York City apartment away from her emotionally distant family. When finding out her mother has a fatal form of breast cancer, she invites the family over for Thanksgiving. But while her family travels into the city, April, a beginning cook runs into kitchen problems and must ask neighbors for help. All I have to say is come for dinner but stay for the cooking.

There are a couple of small-screen gems I like also, A Royal Family Holiday on TV One & Friendsgiving on Netflix. 

But entertainment media act as though there is no value in Thanksgiving movies. I wish they would change their minds. They act like Holly Robinson-Peete & Candace Cameron-Bure only like turkey dinners with a side of Jingle Bells and not with a Cornucopia. Oh well, until November is filled with Thanksgiving movies, I'm bucking the system & watching what I prefer. And I'll do with gratefulness in my heart.
