Variety & TraditionWho knows when the first paper bag turkey was made? In what steamy November kitchen or what library children’s room. It could even have been a first grade classroom.

It was not until the explosion of blogging in recent years that we have been able to observe the varieties of home-made pulp-product turkeys.

This display is a tribute to our still thriving native art forms.

Details Count

Note the artistic rendering of the beak, the solemn outlining of crop and feathers.

To ourDetractors

To Those of You who do not believe that a Paper Bag Turkey adds immeasurably to a family Thanksgiving Celebration, including the simple pleasure of praising the recent artistic triumph of younger members of the household . . .as they participate in this uniquely American traditional art form . . . .

We pity you!

A Dangerous Recent Development

http://www.thepartyanimal-blog.org/15-brown-paper-bag-turkey-craft-ideas-kids/

Recently, the origami-inspired table-ready paper bag turkey has materialized in the craft world.

It does not elicit the same raw aesthetic energy as multi-colored tail feathers or a beak.

The concept fails to offer the opportunities for individual expression inherent in the paper bag turkey tradition.

Corporate Turkey Design

Typically over-done and over-sized. What first-grader would proudly claim credit for this?

Albuquerque Turkey

an American Folk Song suited to the Season

(sung to the tune of "Clementine")

Albuquerque is a turkeyAnd he's feathered and he's fineAnd he wobbles and he gobblesand he's absolutely mine.

He's the best pet that you can get..Better than a dog or cat.He's my Albuquerque turkeyAnd I'm awfully proud of that.

He once told me , very franklyhe preferred to be my pet,not the main course at my dinner,and I told him not to fret.

And my Albuquerque turkeyis so happy in his bed,'Cause for our Thanksgiving dinner...We had egg foo yong instead.
