T’was the night of Thanksgiving
T’was the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn’t sleep.
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned — the dark meat and white.
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning (with anticipation) -
the thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door…
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes…
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky…
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees….
Happy eating to all…. pass the cranberries, please.
May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious, may your pies take the prize…
May your thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.
God bless…. And…. Have a wonderful thanksgiving!

I have never been a fan of anything Christmas before Thanksgiving, but since that’s not terribly practical, I think that not sending Christmas email before Halloween will have to do. These days, many businesses will say that I’m wrong, but I am personally annoyed by Christmas advertising before November 1.
Well, it’s Nov 1 and time to begin. Before you start with any email campaign please read my thought on doing this right.
Let me also say to offer something of value to your readers. It’s all well and good go send sales and discount coupons, but if your think “value” and offer something unexpected like a cool craft pattern or an old family recipe, readers will be more inclined to pay attention to the rest of your email.
For a small business offering more personal service is your biggest advantage. Your email could also become something treasured by your reader (fan) and make it more likely to get passed around.
The email insider has more good tips.
