Buchwald's Thanksgiving Column


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/23/AR2005112302056.html

Buchwald was a nationally syndicated humor columnist who lived in DC.  In the 50's, he was stationed in Paris, and wrote this column to explain our Thanksgiving holiday to the French.  It became a tradition to run it every year, and was sort of an annual ritual in DC to have him deliver it to the Post for publication, etc.  With his death, the Post stopped publishing it, but I'll continue:  One more little bit of DC ritual, preserved.
