At that time we and grandfather's home was twelve miles distant, just on the outskirts of the little village of Essex. So in ‘order to get there in time it was | necessary that we should get an carly \\start. Automobiles were unknown in | those days, and even if they were not, iit would have been impossible to uso | them as, long before this a heavy blanket of snow had fallen, robing the earth in white, and turning it !into a wonderful snow kings abode. |So father and brother John got_out the team, we called them Nick and Nellie, and mother and the children ; all piled in the big sled and covered themselves up with warm robes and blankets. With a crack of the whip away we went, the merry sleigh bells j|chiming-a_ silvery tune and, the jcrackle of the snow under the horses | \feet keeping time to the music. ; We could see the mountains to the east of us clad in their garments of snow and a background of woodlands everywhere.

Just at half past ‘ten o’clock we saw. grandfather’s then | were living near Windsor Vermont, t b home in the distance, its massive gate portals standing wide open, and smoke coming from all its huge chimneys. Soon we had passed through the gates and were driving down the lane to The house sat’upon an | eminence and overlooked. the sur- ‘rounding country for miles. A giant oak tree stood on either side, seeming like sentinels standing on ‘guard, while in the near distance we | could see the frozen sheet of the river, | now a glare of ice, but in the summer }a place in which to swim and fish. (There never were such trout as those which came from the river that flowed past grandfather’s farm. As we arrived in the yard, Rex, the big collie, came out barking to greet us.

We found a cheery fireplace in ithe large spare room and sat down to warm up before we went down ‘stairs.

Expectation shone witi- in their eyes as every now,and thea they got a whiff of the good dinner being prepared in the dining room and kitchen. Soon the womeh folks ex- cused themselves .and- donned white aprons and went out to sce if they could help at the table, etc. After what seemed centuries, grandmother opened the door and announced “Din- ner is ready.” Then every one arose } and went out in. the dining room.

Ani such a dinner It is beyond my, power to adequately describe je The turkey occupied the place of honor—baked to a glorious brown and just oozing with richness he was a sight to please the eye, and-tempt the palate of even an epicurean. Huge dishes of mashed potatoes beaten to a fluffy mass, sweet pota- ties dripping with their own sweei- ness, vegetables of all kinds fixed up in many ways, and great dishes of cranberries—these were only a part of the things we saw. At each end of the table were rosy cheeked apples from grandfather’s own orchard, pol- ished until their faces shone like mirrors. And we knew more good things were to come later, for hadnt we gotten a peep into the kitchen and seen the big plum pudding and thos2 yellow golden pumpkin pies? Grand- father asked .the blessing while we all sat with bowed heads. Be it feast or) justia meager repast,no food was ever eaten in those days til we had first'given thanks to the Giver of all good things. Then the feast began. Grandfather carved the tur- key and placed a piece of both white and dark meat on each one of the stack of plates that stood before: him. We were allowed to help gurselves to the rest of the dinner, with our parents assistance, So after our plates were filled there was little said—even among the grown-ups. When we had eaten all we wished of the good things before us, the plum pudding was brought in and lastly the pie—two kinds pump- Ke and mince. 1 wish you could have had a piece of my grandmother’s pumpkin pie. Huge three cornered slabs fully two inches thick, nothing stinchy about that pie. And, say, when you bit into it you thought you’d landed into a pie paradise for sure. Even now it makes me hungry just to think of it! There were two cakes; one with nuts sticking out all over it, with a pink frosting, and the other a rich fruit cake—but by ‘hat time all wecchildren could do was merely nibble,,jf, with the ice creara which had nde frozen in the milk pail to a delicious creamy mass which melted in your mouth. Finally, dinner was over and we children were told that we could go out and play for a while—but not to go near the river. So while our mam- mas and aunts helped do up the dishes- and) make things’. tidy we donned caps, coats and mittens and ran out to play. First we played hide and seek, and then growing tirel of that we played black man. Soon we heard Sally, grandmother’s hired girl calling us so we went in the nouse. We found that they had re- moved all the chairs, and other mov- abie articles.and grandfather said we were going to“Nave a game of blind man’s buff and he was going to be “it". So we blindfolded him and soon old and young were enjoying them- selves in the time honored ga‘ Then after a while we begged grandfather for a story, 80 while we all sat around him he told us the beautiful story of the Pilgrims, how in order that they might worship Go:1 as they saw fit they braved the mighty ocean and faced unknown perils. How they had landed on Plymouth Rock and how in thankful- ness for the mercies shown them th set that day apart for thanksgiving and prayer. And how we-had kept: that Thanks: giving dgy sacred, until finally in the annals of our country’s history it held a lasting place—we had made it a holiday with ‘Christmas and Indepeu- dence day. The short November day was drawing to a close as grandfather finished his story, and, as we had twelve miles to go, and the other uncles had about the same distance to,go home, the men began to get out th® horses and the womdn and chil- dren begann to bundle up for their long ride home. As we kissed our dear grandparents good-bye we knew that for us it had been a very happy Thanksgiving Day.
