Arlo Guthrie, son of the American troubadour Woody Guthrie, wrote the classic ballad 'Alice's Restaurant' that many, to this day, religiously listen to every Thanksgiving Morning.
So a few verses to start of your holiday morn:

We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of the
side road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of the
cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pile
is better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up we
decided to throw our's down.

That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving
dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until the
next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,
we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of
garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope
under that garbage."

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant"
 
I love Arlo Guthrie, my parents were huge fans. I also love that song. :)
 
I had just said to myself, "It's time to put a Thanksgiving Tradition on, time to pop Alice's Restaurant into the CD player!", when I saw this post! Thanksgiving would not be Thanksgiving without it!
