Ducking into confession with a turkey in his arms, Brian said, “Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I stole this turkey to feed my family. Would you take it and settle my guilt?” “Certainly not,” said the Priest. “As penance, you must return it to the one from whom you stole it.” “I tried,” Brian sobbed, “but he refused Oh, Father what should I do?” “If what you say is true, then it is alright for you to keep it for your family,” Thanking the Priest, Brian hurried off. When confession was over, the Priest returned to his residence. When he walked into the kitchen, he found that someone had stolen his turkey! ( Ha, ha, just a little holiday humor!) How my little Pilgrims and Indians! Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I love cooking for friends and family and I have a large crowd at my place every year!
