Dear Visitor, It’s truly my pleasure to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to Bermuda.

Located two hours from most East Coast gateway cities and six hours from Europe, Bermuda is 21 square miles of breathtaking beaches, quaint roadways, gorgeous scenery, unique architecture and the bluest waters as far as the eye can see.

We have a host of events and activities showcasing Bermuda’s thriving culture and rich history. Events include the Newport to Bermuda Yacht Race, the 15th Annual Bermuda Music Festival, Annual Gombey Festival and much more!

If you’re a golf enthusiast, you’ll be pleased to know that this year Bermuda will play host to one of the world’s most prestigious golf tournaments – the 30th Annual PGA Grand Slam of Golf. It’s an event not to be missed and some of golf ’s greatest stars are expected to descend on the Island for this tournament.

As Bermudians, we take great pride in our genuine hospitality and whether you are residing in some of our finest properties, dining in our exceptional restaurants, relaxing in our many spas, playing a round of golf or exploring our many attractions, I am certain that during your visit, you will see this warmth displayed time and again.

I sincerely hope you enjoy your visit to our shores. We’re very pleased that you have chosen Bermuda for your vacation.

Sincerely,

Dr. the Hon. Ewart F. Brown, JP, MPPremier Minister of Tourism and Transport

Behind the Scenes at the Masterworks Museum

of Bermuda Art

BIENNIAL2010

Whenever we visit a museum, such as the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art, few of us give thought to what goes on behind the gallery walls. Our focus is primarily on the exhibition, but beyond the galleries, there are offi ces, where a number of individuals are busy at all kinds of necessary activities, in order for the museum to function smoothly. Additionally there is a library for research, storage preparation and workshop space.

As an example, consider the air-conditioning. Th e need for climate control is primarily for the benefi t of the art and not the visitor, although we visitors also benefi t. Th e important thing is that the museum’s climate be constant. Fluctuations in temperature and humidity are bad for art. Although the galleries are the obvious place for AC, it is also necessary in the storage areas and at any given moment, most of the museum’s collection is in storage. It is also necessary that the museum’s climate be constantly monitored.

Lighting is another consideration. It may have been noticed that the lighting in the galleries is oft en quite dim. Th is is necessary in order to preserve the art. It is also important that ultraviolet be kept at a minimum and there are guidelines that must be followed.

Periodically, exhibitions are changed. Th is requires much planning, including the development of the initial exhibition concept. Th is will require research and this is where the library is so important. Additionally there is the exhibition layout, its hanging and arranging, labeling, cataloguing, plus the mailing of invitations to members and guests and all the details for opening night. Such as arranging for speeches and the setting-up of a public address system. Organizing the catering of refreshments is also another detail that is a responsibility that has to be cared for.

Another necessary consideration is security. Art museums are the

Scott sits down with Aaron

Music has been a part of your life since you were young playing the violin in middle school & high school. At age 16, you picked up the electric guitar and the rest is history. Please elaborate for our readers what it was like to write & produce your first CD? I have always been interested in all aspects of music. It actually

started with getting my fi rst high end home stereo. I began to

hear music the way it was meant to be heard. Once I learned how

to play my own instruments, it took my interest to another level.

Th e fi rst time we recorded our own music it was like capturing a

moment in time. It was so exciting to hear ourselves on the stereo (despite

the lousy quality). Writing and producing

started out as something that was very

frustrating at times due to not being able to

achieve what I envisioned in the fi rst place.

With years of practice and training I am now

beginning to reach my goals and end up with

something of high quality.

What comes first, the lyrics or the music and why?

I have always been one to write music

fi rst and lyrics second. Th is topic is one

that is always disputed when it comes to

song writing. My reasoning is that for me

to articulate a certain mood or feeling,

words are too defi nitive. When I use music

to express myself, I can reach to a more

subconscious state of thinking, thus leaving the listener an opportunity

for interpretation. A song is a very interesting thing, and I think the

average listener can relate to the words, but their deepest feelings, whether

consciously or subconsciously, come from the music/melody.

You have recently moved to Winnipeg, Canada. Being a

eddthe rest is history.

Canadian myself, Winnipeg brings up famous artists like: The Guess Who, BTO & Nickel Back. You’re a Bermudian, what was it that led you to such a cold part of the world? Aft er completing 4 years of school in business administration,

then 1 year of audio production I was given an opportunity to

work with a successful producer, Dale Penner. Dale has recorded

and produced many artists, one being Nickel Back. He has hired

me as an assistant to him while he runs sessions and allowed me to

bring in my own clients to work with in his studio, Paradise Alley.

I have also spent most of my life in Canada, and feel as though Canada

off ers a lot to support the arts. I have lived in many diff erent places so far

in my life and have always realized that you create your own path. Th e

idea of the freezing temperatures sound terrible, but to embrace the new

climate may off er new and exciting things to come. What I have found to

like most about where I live right now is the fact that if I want to see a metal

show or an R&B performance, I could do either one. Th e music styles are

so diverse and I have never been one who is close-minded to any genre.

At the end of the day I need to take advantage of this great opportunity.

repository of valuable treasures that must be protected around the clock. Th is requires a sophisticated security system that is linked to monitors and alarms, not only on the premises, but also at a security fi rm. In addition to security, however, there is the matter of insurance, but in order for that to happen, the collection must periodically appraised by a trained appraiser.

Th en there is education, which is the responsibility of the education offi cer. Th is individual has to contact all the schools, in order to arrange for fi eld trips. Additionally, the offi cer will also arrange for art camps and workshops, especially during school vacations.

All of the above, not only takes time and manpower, it also takes funding and since art museums get little or nothing from the public purse, someone has to be constantly thinking about and implementing this matter. Th is requires a special individual who has the ability to make contacts with fi nesse and tact. Beyond that someone has to keep accurate record of fi nancial accounts.

Perhaps you are beginning to realize that running a museum is a big responsibility, which requires the skills of many trained individuals. Its like the proverbial iceberg: what is seen is only a small percentage of the total entity.

CRISSON & HIND 441 295-1117. www.crissonandhind.com2nd fl oor of the Crisson Building, 71 Front Street, Hamilton. Sculptures by the master Shona fi ne artists of Zimbabwe are among the most impressive and sought-aft er works of art in Africa - and the best place to fi nd them is right here in Bermuda at the Crisson & Hind Fine Art Gallery on Front Street, Hamilton. Gallery owner Colin (Dusty) Hind has developed an extraordinarily close relationship with the artists, many of who now work exclusively on commissions for the Gallery. Mr. Hind visits Zimbabwe up to three times a year, personally helping to source, quarry and truck stone to the artists’ workshops where the sculptors set about making hard, beautiful Zimbabwean stone such as springstone, butter jade and serpentine, live and breathe.

artists such as Georgia O’Keeff e, Winslow Homer and Albert Gleizes are

part of the permanent collection, and there are continuously evolving

shows of local artists on display. Masterworks Foundation was started 21

years ago with just a few paintings, and has grown to the collection we see

today. In March 2008, aft er fi ve years of construction, the new Masterworks

Museum of Bermuda Art was opened to the public. Th e museum presents

an impressive new facility for educational purposes for all Bermudians,

island’s unique seascape, topography, and light on the many artists who

experienced them. Th e exhibition includes works by a diversity of artists,

including Albert Gleizes, Marsden Hartley, Winslow Homer, and Malcolm

Morley. Th e exhibition coincides with the mid-June arrival of the fl eet of tall

Bermuda Jam Factory creators Grant

Kennedy and Joel McDonell, in partnership w i t h

Fairmont Hamilton Princess Executive Chef Th omas Frost,

present: ‘Princess Breeze’, Th e 125th Anniversary

Signature Edition Jam.

Hand craft ed at the Fairmont Hamilton’s main

kitchen in small batches, ‘Princess Breeze’ is a Pink

Grapefruit Pepper Jam that highlights the best of what

Bermuda has to off er. Sweetened with Bermuda Honey,

Pink Grapefruit and Blood Orange fl avours, this sweet pepper jam has

quickly become a smashing success with locals and guests alike.

When Bermuda Jam Factory was approached by the Fairmont Hamilton

General Manager Jon Crellin and Director

of Sales & Marketing Rehanna Palumbo to

create a jam, their only requests were that

it had to be pink and taste fabulous. As

the fi rst of several co-branding initiatives

celebrating their 125 years, they were the

fi rst to deliver.

Designing a jam for the 125th

Anniversary was a team eff ort that required

a high level of drive and expertise. Th e

early part of the year was spent making

various batches of jam exploring new

fl avours, tastes, and getting feedback from

a crew of Chefs.

Th e result of these eff orts highlights

a fi rm commitment Fairmont Hamilton

You know what I’m talking about! Golfers do it all the time! Th at’s

Good Mate, Pick it up! It seems innocent enough. Usually it’s a short tap

in, then a two-footer, three-footer, four footer , then when you and your

playing partner are both 7 to 8 feet away, he off ers – “Good – Good Mate?”

and you casually pick up the ball with the back of your putter and head to

the next tee.

What in the wide, wide world of sports just happened? We justify our

actions by announcing, “I would have made it anyway, and the group behind

us is catching up, just speeding up the round”. We all have done it and does

it really make a diff erence? Not really! Until you have to make that same

3 footer in your club championship. I can honestly say that I have watched

members at my club post their 76’s, 77’s on a regular basis and then following

the fi rst round of the club championship they post 86’s and 87’s and usually

it’s all about the putts they missed during the round.

While Jack Nicklaus practiced his putting and if he missed, no matter

how long the putt, he would set up and putt the ball in the hole. He realized

how important those short putts would be. Speaking of important short

putts, in last months Ryder Cup, Hunter Mahan took on some criticism

regarding his loss in the last match to US Open winner Graeme McDowell.

My position is that Hunter was down in that match from the start and instead

of focusing on his fi nish; one could back up a few matches and take a look at

the match of Stewart Cink and Rory McIlroy. Stewart missed a short putt on

16 and then an even shorter putt on 17 that would have won the match and

given the US the half point they needed to retain the cup. I’m not suggesting

that Stewart doesn’t practice short putts or that he picks them up on a regular

basis, I am only suggesting that one can see how important a short putt can

be in the Ryder Cup and it can be just as important in your game.

One of the best drills I have ever used both myself and with my students

is the “wagon-wheel” putting game. Place 6 golf balls around the hole on the

practice putting green each approximately 3 feet away from the cup. Th en

putt all the balls into the hole. If you miss, start over and don’t stop until you

make your way around the wheel 3 times in a row without a miss. Believe

me, you will have the edge on your competitor and next time they off er a

“Good – Good Mate?” You can reply, “Awe, let’s putt them out bud”!

That’s Good – Pick It Up!

34 D o You Know?

Born in Bermuda in 1888 and educated at Saltus Grammar School, Joseph Trounsell Gilbert won a Bermuda Rhodes Scholarship in 1907 and studied at Brasenose College, Oxford University.

In 1912 he was appointed Assistant Collector in the British protectorate of Zanzibar in East Africa. Aft er being called to the English Bar in 1914, he returned to Zanzibar as Acting Magistrate, became Assistant Secretary one year later and was promoted to First Assistant Chief Secretary in 1928, a post he held until his retirement in 1933. At the Colonial Offi ce Conference in London In 1930 he represented Zanzibar and was invested with the Order of the Brilliant Star of Zanzibar.

Aft er his return to Bermuda in 1933, Trounsell Gilbert practiced law until 1937; was Attorney General from 1938 to 1952; a Member of the Executive Council and Legislative Council; and Chief Justice of Bermuda from 1952 until his retirement in 1958. He received an M.B.E. in 1927; an O.B.E. in 1933; a C.B.E. in 1949 and Knighthood in 1955. He died in 1979.

Now a semi-autonomous part of Tanzania, Zanzibar is an archipelago made up of Zanzibar and Pemba Islands, totaling approximately 650 square miles. A centre of the centuries-old eastern slave trade, Zanzibar formally became a British protectorate in 1890 and, acquiescing to British demands, fi nally ended the slave trade in 1897. From 1913 – a year aft er Trounsell Gilbert’s arrival – until independence in 1963, the British appointed ‘Residents’ (essentially Governors) of Zanzibar.

Communications between these two outposts of the British Empire – Bermuda in the western Atlantic and

Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean – was certainly tedious in the early 20th century. Letters from Bermuda to Zanzibar, sent via London, typically took a couple

of months. Th e same was of course true in reverse and it was therefore many months before a response to a letter was received back in Bermuda. As all surface mail letters only cost 1 penny in postage throughout the British Empire, one could hardly complain about delivery times.

Th e situation fi nally improved in 1931 when letters could be sent via Imperial Airways by air from London to Nairobi and a local airline from Nairobi to Zanzibar. Letters from London now took less than one week to reach Zanzibar, which obviously came at a price as the cost of an airmail letter from London to Zanzibar was 7 pence, which, with the 1 penny surface rate from Bermuda, made for a total of 8 pence postage.

Although Zanzibar’s airfi eld at the time was just a long green fi eld with a weather balloon and a telephone, the airfi eld manager’s job description was anything but simple. Not only was he Aviation Control Offi cer, he was also Immigration and Emigration Offi cer, Customs Offi cer, Health and Medical Offi cer, as well as ‘Postmaster Extraordinary’!

Sir Trounsell’s career was certainly an impressive one – from Head Boy at Saltus Grammar School and Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, to being a key administrator of a British protectorate in East Africa, and fi nally Chief Justice back home in Bermuda.

Business 37

Wild Chickens I work until four or fi ve in the morning — no phone calls, nothing good

on TV, peace and quiet — and then sleep late into the day. Th e work I send

out in the wee hours is reviewed and comments come back to me aft er I

wake up, around noon.

Where I live, in the crumbling ruins of what was once named the world’s

most beautiful house, at Ferry Reach, only one thing interferes with a good

night’s sleep: feral chickens. For some reason, Bermuda is beset by roaming

bands of wild chickens. It’s ridiculous. Here we are, the world’s premier

fi nancial services jurisdiction, and business leaders and ordinary mortals

alike are dragged from their slumber by an insane cockerel at fi ve in the

morning, walking the walk and squawking the squawk.

Government employs a fellow to eradicate the chickens, but if he killed

them all, he’d be out of a job, so presumably he just keeps them down. I

do seem to recall that he once tried to run over a wild chicken — smart

thinking — but was hauled before the courts or fi red or something because

it’s not considered humane to hit a chicken at 50 miles an hour.

I have news for the authorities. I do a m-u-c-h worse thing to chickens:

I eat them. Th at’s right. Aft er they have had their heads humanely chopped

off , I stuff them into my head. I don’t much care how they died, so long as it

was recently.

Wild chickens cause insomnia. Th at makes us weak. We do less well. Th e

quality of our lives deteriorates. Th e chickens are clearly out to get us. What’s

more, they are a metaphor for how far Bermuda has come. It wasn’t so long

ago that the Island was a rural community, where wealth was measured by

how many chickens you had. Th en along came money, and people decided

to collect that, instead of chickens. Th ey turned loose all the chickens they

no longer wanted, and — hey presto — we have international insurance

companies, regional banks and wild chickens.

What’s weird is that we also have a feral cat problem. You’d think the cats

would eat the chickens, and some of them probably do. But a bunch of well-

meaning types took pity on our wild cats and had them all rounded up and

dealt with, and that, it seems to me, is when the chicken problem became

acute.

So there’s the moral: solving one problem can lead to another. Kill the

cats and the chickens will come home to roost. Life in Bermuda, it seems, is

destined to be plagued by wild animals, and I don’t mean my girlfriend. It’s

not just dog eat dog; it’s giant mutant spiders, wild cats, cockroaches the size

of Buicks, death-dealing jellyfi sh and wild chickens. It’s amazing that anyone

living on the Island ever survives.

Wild chickens: you can’t live with ‘em and you can’t live without ‘em. But

you can eat ‘em. Th ey’re tasty, and the wild ones are cheaper. Go get ‘em,

tiger.

THE ROYAL NAVAL DOCKYARD, Ireland Island, Sandys Work began on this massive complex in 1809, not long after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars and just before the War of 1812. Envisioned as a strategic British military outpost that would make Bermuda the “Gibraltar of the West,” the Royal Naval Dockyard was built by slave and convict labour. The Dockyard locked its gates in 1951. Since then, the seventy-fi ve acre site has been painstakingly

St. George’s — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is where it all began, when in July 1609 the Sea Venture — en route from England to the new colony of Jamestown Virginia — encountered a violent storm and was shipwrecked on Bermuda’s reefs less than a mile off what is now St. Catherine’s Point. Miraculously, all on board

survived the disaster and swam ashore to Gates Bay, located at the eastern end of St. George’s.

WORLD HERITAGE CENTRE Located in the Town of St. George’s, the World Heritage Centre is a key orientation and resource point for visitors of all ages. Celebrating the mission of The St. George’s Foundation, the World Heritage Centre is central to the promotion of the Town and Parish of St. George’s.

KING’S SQUARE The offi cial, ceremonial centre of St. George’s, King’s Square acquired its name in 1818 when it was named in honour of King George III. Every Wednesday & Saturday at noon duing the winter months the town crier, colorfully decked out in tunic, breeches and tricorn hat, rings his bell and shouts “Oyez! Oyez!” (Hear Ye!). This is to convene his `tribunal,’ which will mete seventeenth-century justice to a anagging wench at the ducking stool nearby. By all means try out the stocks for yourself. This is a fun photo opportunity.

TUCKER HOUSE, Water Street The only museum in St. George’s furnished as a period residence, Tucker House offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of a prosperous eighteenth-century Bermudian merchant. Built around 1752, Tucker family treasures are in evidence throughout the house, including fi ne family portraits by Joseph Blackburn.

BERMUDA NATIONAL TRUST MUSEUM, Globe Hotel, King’s Square Across the street from St. Peter’s Church, this distinctive dwelling was built in 1700 by Governor Samuel Day.

Admission $5. 441 297-1423.

ST. PETER’S CHURCH, Duke of York Street Situated in appropriate loftiness above the main street of St. George’s, St. Peter’s Church is one of the island’s most beloved landmarks and is the oldest anglican church continuously occupied in the New World. The fi rst church on the site was constructed in 1612 of native cedar and a thatched roof. This original edifi ce was replaced seven years later by a more permanent structure that lasted almost a hundred years, until the hurricane of 1712. Following this disaster, the church was again rebuilt. Open Mon. to Sat. 10am-5pm. Anglican service 11:15am Sundays.

THE OLD RECTORY, Broad Alley, St. George’s, behind St. Peter’s Church Built in 1699, this charming cottage on one of the numerous picturesque back streets in St. George’s is one of Bermuda’s oldest houses. Acquired in 1700 by Captain George Dew, an unsuccessful privateer who became a St. George’s assemblyman, The Old Rectory acquired its current name when it became the residence of the Rev. Alexander Richardson in the last quarter of the eighteenth century.

ST. GEORGE’S HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM, Duke of Kent Street and Featherbed Alley Built around 1734 as a private residence, Mitchell House is a fi ne example of eighteenth-century Bermudian domestic architecture and has been home to the St. George’s Historical Society since 1920.

Open Tues-Sat 10am-3pm. Admission is free but donations are welcomed. Admission $4. 441 297-4126.

TOWN HALL AND THE STATE HOUSE Town Hall, the handsome building commanding King’s Square and bearing the town crest was begun in 1802, a few years after the Corporation of St. George’s was founded in 1797. The State House, located up a gentle elevation behind Town Hall, is one of the island’s oldest, most historically important buildings. Erected around 1620 by Governor Nathaniel Butler, the State House is open to the public 10am-4pm on Wednesdays only.

THE UNFINISHED CHURCH Duke of Kent Street, St. George’s The impressive Gothic vestige that looms over the town of St. George’s was begun in 1870 as a replacement for St. Peter’s, which had fallen into a state of serious disrepair. Designed by William Hay, the Scottish-born architect who later drew the plans for Hamilton’s cathedral, the St. George’s church was abandoned in 1899 when near completion.

FORT ST. CATHERINE St. Catherine’s Point, St. George’s Fort St. Catherine stands on the site of one of the four towers that Governor Richard Moore erected along Bermuda’s coast around 1613. None of these original towers, the fi rst English forts in the New World, survive. The present, completely restored structure dates from the mid-nineteenth century and is home to fascinating exhibits including military guns and weapons. Open daily 10:00am-4:00pm.

CARTER HOUSE Southside Road, St. David’s Carter House was probably built in the 1720s by John Hayward and his wife Martha, reputedly a descendant of Christopher Carter, one of the two Sea Venture survivors who stayed behind when the vessel’s other passengers continued on to Virginia in 1610. Acquired by the St. David’s Historical Society, this small house with its unusual ‘welcoming arm’ stairs has been converted into a museum that commemorates the pre-war agrarian traditions of St. David’s. Open Saturday 10:00am-4:00pm.

Your Table is R eady 53

Dining in Bermuda is an experience on its own. Imagine that you’re at one of Bermuda’s pink beaches savoring a local delicacy, the Bermuda fi shcake sandwich. If you would like to experience what Bermudians love, then you would order the works. An old-timer once told me that Bermudians invented “the works.” Even if that statement isn’t accurate, the Bermuda fi sh sandwich with the works is like nothing I have experienced before.

Local and internationally recognized chefs create a dining adventure that will take your taste buds to a new level. Wines and spirits from around the world will be matched to perfection with each course. Go back in time; several restaurants date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Th e globe is represented in the restaurants that dot Bermuda and it’s easy to locate a restaurant close to the ocean, with views that will inspire all your senses.

Chef…of the Month

JOHNNY ROBERTSChef / Owner

In just over two and half years

since Jonny opened Bolero, it has

become a favourite place for locals,

business people and visitors alike

and is arguably one of the most

popular and busiest restaurants in

Hamilton.

Bolero’s entrance is somewhat

a secret; it’s tucked away down

Bermuda House lane just off

Front Street and as many of the

regular customers put it: “It’s

like your local bustling cozy

neighborhood restaurant.”

Certainly, it’s a place where

everyone seems to know

each other. If you don’t,

then the friendly service team lead by

Maitre d’ George Athanasiadis, will still make you

feel like you have been dining there for years.

In keeping with the concept of a traditional Brasserie, Bolero is about

simplicity, the food is straightforward, honest and unpretentious.

Jonny says, “Our aim is to cater for everyone from all walks of life; we

want customers to leave

Bolero happy and to come

back another day! Th e Bolero

team works very hard, they

are loyal, dedicated and

above all, they care. I am very

proud to say the whole team

works ‘with’ me not ‘for’ me.”

Judging by the success and

popularity of Bolero, Jonny’s

down to earth approach is

working.

BONE FISH BAR & GRILL

6 Dockyard Terrace, Royal Naval Dockyard, 441 234-5151Th is dynamic restaurateur captivates his customers with his enthusiasm for life and his work in particular. Chef Livio’s new venture in Dockyard has inspired him to create his menu with an emphasis on cuisine that he feels suits the island’s lifestyle. “I like to make the most of our fresh fi sh and local produce,” he told us, “natural, simple, fast and balanced dishes because, like Italian cuisine, this is best suited to my abilities.” He proudly told us “seafood, seafood, the best from Bermuda waters, but with my love of the style of Mediterranean cooking, there is something for everyone, including favorite recipes from my mother!” Chef Livio began his training at age eleven in a hotel in his village home of Cortina D’Ampezzo in Italy where he was born and raised. He proudly relates how he has cooked for famous people such as President Carter, Michael Douglas, David Bowie, Iman and even the President of Italy. “I always chose to work in an environment of a very high standard, alongside many respected head chefs”, thus he trained and worked in some of Italy’s most prestigious hotels and restaurants….always remembering that to be the best chef meant “your heart was in your hands!” Today Chef Livio prides himself on maintaining this rule so, with very few exceptions, everything on his menu is made in his kitchen. He emphasizes that he likes to ‘create’ what his customers want, then acknowledges that this should be the role of a true chef, one who has been trained by the best. Th e happy atmosphere in his lively restaurant is enhanced by the

fun music, the wonderful indoor/outdoor bar and dining, and of course the views of the waterfront. “When my customers see their food, I want them to say, “Wow! Th e plate looks so beautiful and enticing,” he said smiling. It is not unusual to see Chef Livio chatting with the diners in his restaurant. Ask to meet him…we know he would love to meet you! He will give you an evening to remember!

You Don’t Need To Be “Martha”If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffi ce. ~Meister Eckhart

Americans look forward to the Th anksgiving holiday simply because the majority, if not all, of their family members will be together for the fi rst time this year. It is a time of happiness and catching up on the lives of the others. Th is is a true Th anksgiving tradition that never goes out of style. Th e Th anksgiving holiday means diff erent things to people who celebrate it. As it usually provides a four day weekend, for a lot of people it is a holiday that is highly anticipated as a small vacation from work or school, and it’s time for American Football! So, it is easy to see why the children of all ages enjoy this special holiday. For many older people, this is a holiday of simply being grateful and giving thanks for what they have received during the year. Th is is the true meaning of Th anksgiving, especially when the current economic conditions and social pressures are riding at the highest levels ever. When everyone is gathered around the table for the holiday meal, they may each be asked to share what they are most thankful for that year. Th is is actually a tradition in many families that is repeated each year. Th anksgiving dinner is one of those amazing meals that takes twelve hours to cook, and twelve minutes to eat it .You don’t need all the “Martha” hoopla, just a great menu. So now the fun can begin, the food is approaching the table “Wow, the Turkey looks amazing, did Martha cook it?”
