I'm curious where you found this Thanksgiving poem, particularly because it mentions an aunt who "mends." Mending – repairing clothes – is not something most Americans do today. (Most Americans also don't make their own clothes, though my own mother did so for me when I was growing up.)
ОтветитьУдалитьIt seems like the poem you found is an old one – a nice reminder of our past, and for some some fortunate Americans, a reminder of many things they still enjoy during Thanksgiving.
