CHAPTER ELEVEN The Thanksgiving Feast


Thanksgiving 2016 has come and gone, and it was, indeed, a challenging time for the little Doll House people of Smithville.

Why, you might ask, was Thanksgiving so different for the little people?  Well, it just seemed like Don and Phyllis were ALWAYS around, and BUSY, getting ready for the big day.  So the little people had to stay inside and out of sight.  They had no time to prepare for their own celebration.

And it seemed like Don and Phyllis were doing very little, if any, cooking in preparation for Thanksgiving!  Now, that was just not right!  How were the Smiths going to have a feast with no food?  And, worse than that, how would the little people find any leftovers to collect for their feast?

Also, it seemed like Don was up earlier and earlier, getting the house ready for company, setting up tables, and he even put up the Christmas tree, for heavens sake.

And Phyllis was staying up later and later.  She even had the tables all set ready for company.  But still no cooking was happening!

And if that weren't strange enough, the company began arriving the evening before Thanksgiving.  And all the kids and grandkids brought the food with them!  So that explained why Don and Phyllis did no cooking.  And all of them called their party "Thank-mas."  So that explained why the Christmas decorations went up so early.  The Smiths were having one big party to celebrate both holidays.

The Little Doll House people did enjoy watching the family having so much fun.  And, even though the food looked and smelled delicious,  the little people went to bed early and dreamed about all the leftovers they would find tomorrow!

And, sure enough, a little before noon on Thanksgiving Day,  Don began getting out all the leftovers and warming everything that needed warming.  And soon everyone was in the living room eating leftovers and watching football.  Why, they were so engrossed in the game, the Doll House Collection team had little trouble collecting ample supplies for the Little People Thanksgiving Feast.

And after the men returned with the supplies, the women set about preparing everything for the community-wide Thanksgiving Feast!


So here is their delicious feast.

And here are their beautiful and festive tables.



And here are all the thankful families enjoying the Smithville Thanksgiving Day!
