to call attention to ourselves.

When I and my family were younger and I kept better hours, I frequently attended Mass on Thanksgiving Day, but not in recent years. - Family is dispersed and some have other priorities.
But those nearby still gather for a family meal; a restaurant with table service is my choice, a I don't like the jumping up and down as people refill, etc. at buffets.

For years I have received Thanksgiving cards to send to distant family from the Glenmary Fathers, a group which serves the unchurched in rural America. They include a prayer card for our own table, and I'll likely use that as our meal blessing.
