Thanksgiving seems to be the proverbial red-headed step child of holidays. It gets no love compared to the rest.
I recently found this 50th anniversary release of the soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. It got me thinking that there’s really not a lot of Thanksgiving music. At least not nearly as much as Christmas music. Even Halloween has lots of songs that have a spooky vibe.
Sure, there are the old bringing in the harvest type of hymns. There are songs about giving thanks. But as far as I know there aren’t really many songs about Thanksgiving Day.
Lately, it seems that we skip right from Halloween to Christmas. I even see stores with Christmas decorations and ornaments and the like even before Halloween. It’s like Thanksgiving doesn’t exist in the retail world except as the day before Black Friday when everything’s 75% off.
There really needs to be music suitable for gorging on turkey and dressing. I want a station dedicated exclusively to Thanksgiving the way there are so many that are Christmas all year round.
That’s probably as unrealistic as me expecting to exercise moderation on Thanksgiving Day, but one can dream. At least give the Thanksgiving holiday some love.

Thanksgiving has always been a time of gathering with family and friends. A time to be thankful for God’s goodness and to enjoy each other without commercial expectations. It is a relaxed holiday of celebration. Its origins are from the Feast of Tabernacle’s when the goodness of God is remembered and how he brought us through so much and cared for us. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.
