I was really disappointed by the lack of giving thanks at our Thanksgiving. (Along with many other changes from previous years), there was hardly a grace to speak of, just my aunt saying basically "bless you, bless you, bless you, let's eat." I too really enjoyed seeing all the gratitude-lists on the flist, though.

The kind of taste that it is doesn't seem to me to really fit in with the rest of the traditional dinner, though.

I feel like the cranberries provide an appropriate balance of flavors -- something sweet/sour in with all those savories.

And also, *heart*.
