Le Jour de Merci Donnant (Thanksgiving)

Bonjour tout le monde!
Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday.  It was one that most American students miss when they are abroad.  When I was in Paris, as a student,  we celebrated Thanksgiving at the home of one of our professors.  We had goose instead of turkey, but the sentiment was there.  Maybe that is why Thanksgiving is an important holiday, and I always save room at the table for anyone who is in need of a family.
However, Art Buchwald, wrote this explanation of Thanksgiving as explained to the French.  I always chuckle when I read it, so here is my Thanksgiving present to you!
