Whai Thanksgiving means to other States and people 1
know not. but. to New England and Cape Cod I have been
steeped in ii from my childhood. The story of the Pilgrim
Fathers. Christopher Columbus and Queen Isabella pawning
her jewels- to hel p him make the trip to the new country
has been woven into the fabric of our lives and the day they
gave thanks fur their safe arrival in the new land was called
after Thanksgiving Day.
It was set for the last Thursday i
in November and although former
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
tried to change it lo an earlier
date, no one liked it and we re-
turned to the old date. I will nnpotc
some things from an article I wrote
sometime ago that contains what
Thanksgiving had come to be on
Cape Cod'as the year went by.
I may never write it again for
you , but at some future year some-
one will find it in an old paper,
ihe Barnstable Patriot, and reprint
il for people of their day. In this
way traditions are kept alive
through the years. It gives me a
feeling of longing even to write
about the old Thanksgiving on
Cape Cod.
"Home to the older generation
was something sacred and Thanks-
giving Day was a family day, it
would hold memories cheerful and
sad . but days never to be forgotten.
If deep snow filled the roads and
cold winds blew, it would be hard
to heat the ol houses to be com-
fortable . Mother and father would
begin to plan the dinner early in
November, the quince , plums and
peach preserves and the spiced
watermelon pickles that never
failed to please would be ready—
strawberry, blackberry, currant
and gooseberry jams were all in
their place in the pantry. There
would be honey and sweet cider
and some of the best apples would
be polished until the shone like
satin and put out to look at. Of
course they could not eat all of |
these things but they could take
some of them home with them .
"The children who were coming
all had manners and had questions
of their own. Would thoy have
lurkey or chicken? What did they
have last year, or would mother
make one of her famous chicken
pies with a short biscuit sheet
baked a delicious brown with a
•crpat bowl c? vellow gravy lo eat
¦on it Everything was raised on
the farm , no store products , and
they would bake a loin Of home-
raised pork for supper to go with
the hot rolls made with yeast.
¦
' "Yon would think all Ihey j
thought of was eating, but this
was >tii occasion and everyone
could have his choice. If they
stayed overnight what a breakfast
they would plan . Either griddle
i-akes with home niiide syrup and
sausage or brownbread toast with
fried ham and baked apples and
fresh grounil coffee with plenty of
cream. The pantry was full of
sweet odois and you could choose
what you wanted.
"When all (his was done and the
i
pies and cakes baked, the house
was cleaned nnd put in order, some
of the best dishes were made ready
for use and grandmother's silver
spoons were taken out of their
wrappings and made read y and
the long white birds-eye tablecloth
and napkins that shone like satin
would bo ready for the Vrny.
"Now , don 't think this was tire-
some work , they loved every min-
ute oi it and felt so happy when
they saw the pleasure they were
giving. The best parlor hid to be
aired and made ready and what a
welcome greeting there was when
all the sons and daughters and
their families arrived . Everyone
had much to tell. When the long
table was set for dinner it was a
picture of bountiful living.
"Everyone bowed their heads
while father said Grace and gave
thanks tor all the blessings, thanks
also for the strength that had been
given to them to bear some of
their sorrows and losses that come
to every human being. It was with
happy hearts they began to enjoy
the dinner their parents had pro-
vided. Mother had put on a new
dress, father had a bright new tie
that one of the children had
brought for him to wear that day.
Mother had a new apron and there
would be much chatter during the
meal. Mother could eat rery little,
her heart was too full. When all
were full to the bursting point
they went into the parlor, put on '
another log on the fire in the big
fireplace and talked and talked.
"Father told some funny stories
and the old family album was
brought out and there were a good
many laughs. Look at this cpupl e,
it 's father and mother , lie has on a
beaver hat and a flower in his but-
tonhole. He is looking with adoring
eyes at the pretty girl at his side.
Why, it's mother of course. She
htul on n wonderful bonnet show-
ing n lttle curl at the side. She has
on a ruffled dress and lace Dolman
and mitts , showing a new ring on
her finger. They look too cute for
anything. All the pictures are
amusing but they cannot spend BO
much time us they have to look
over the house and the new stove ,
etc. One of the neighbor's daugh-
ters came in after dinner and
cleaned away everything so moth-
er could have time for the family.
Time passed so quickly It wus then
time for supper.
"Tnev •R-sm UUCK to the parlor
and mother lighted the old lamp
that had been In the family so long
no one knew where it came from.
It had a nice big globe and nicely
cut glass prisms that made rain-
bow lifehts on the floor and wall
when the sun slTone on them and
a thinkllng sound when it was
moved.
"They sang some old songs,
father came in with a rich bass.
Well everything has to come an
end and so did that happy day.
Some of the family had a long
drive home and it was a battle and
confusion at the best . They looked
lovingly at father and mother for
they knew they could not be with
them many years. They longed to
share their life and burdens but
no place would please them but
the old house as long as they could
be together, but they would not
spoil their day by such thoughts,
so It was Goodbye and God Bless
You and off they went.
"The day was not ended for
father nad mother. Pie had to look
after the horses and cattle. Some
of the smaller children were stay-
ing over and mother had to find
places for them to sleep. It is sur-
prising how much room there was
in an old house of olden days. Its
winding stairs must have been a
queer sight as they went up to bed.
Mother put some coals in the long
handled warming pan to warm the
bed. Father had some soapstones
and a light, but everything was
ready at last. The children re-
peated the old prayer. "Now I lay
me down to sleep ", and made
ready for happy dreams. Mother
tucked them in and she and father
kissed them good night. Then they
made ready for their own rest.
"The day was over and even the
old do); was curled up in his bed
sleeping with one eye open watch-
ing the ones he loved so well in
his own way. Soon everyone was
in bed and all was still save the
ticking of the old clock which
seemed to say, "He giveth His be-
loved sleep". 1 have left out many
things that happened but 1 will
leave that for my readers to fill
out from their imagination. Amen."
