Happy Thanksgiving!
Here Comes Santa Claus!!!
Of course, Thanksgiving morning on TV always begins with...
The Thanksgiving Day Parade!
The Thanksgiving Day Parade!
My favorite part is always when Santa comes (finally) at the end waving to the crowds of cheering spectators who line the parade route to get a glimpse of jolly Old Saint Nicholas waving back at them!

After that, it truly feels like the Christmas season is officially here!!!

Storyline via BYU press release: Instrument of War is an original scripted holiday television special inspired by first-hand accounts of WWII bomber pilot Clair Cline, an American B-24 pilot captured and held as Prisoner of War (POW) in a German prison camp, Stalag Luft I. After being shot down over Nazi-occupied Holland during a bombing mission, Cline and the surviving members of his crew struggled to keep themselves psychologically sound while living in captivity under the rule of a ruthless Commandant. To resist helplessness and bitterness that plagued POWs, Cline, a self-taught musician, crafted a violin from bunk bed slats, the leg of a chair, dried glue from the bottom of chairs and a shard of glass as a wood carving tool.

2 Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into His presence with singing!

It is He who made us, and we are His;
we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
