Thanksgiving story

Warning: Spoilers
Perfectly lovely episode about putting your prejudices aside to come together and learn about different cultures and ways of life, as well as being a friend to the less fortunate.

The youngest son, Chip Douglas, is allowed to invite one friend to Thanksgiving dinner, and Mr. Douglas is bewildered to learn that his friend is a local homeless man (called "hobo" back then), named Johnny Squanto, a man with Native American ancestry (or claims it anyway). The Douglas Boys end up scrambling frantically to prepare their turkey when their oven picks that morning to break down. They enlist the aid of the neighbors to prepare the side dishes, as well as Squanto teaching them how to prepare the bird outdoors, using the land. It's a particularly well written episode that celebrates coming together as friends to enjoy a meal.

Excellent episode!!! First time I've seen it as far as I can remember. I was born in 1962 so I would've not watched the early seasons till later in reruns. I do remember enjoying it at grade school age but idk when it was exactly I may have started watching later episodes if it was in first run or repeats. Always did like this show and of course saw it often as I got older in reruns. But I don't remember early episodes at all. In fact I don't remember watching it at all ir even knowing about Bub. I can only remember Uncle Charlie. I'm not sure if I ever saw the early episodes even in repeats. I didn't even know there was initially another older brother before Robbie till I was older. And I think I only knew about him and Bub because my mother told me about them.

Anyway fabulous episode about the true meaning of "Thanksgiving". But I always wonder especially in our world today why (and thank God) do we see people being kind during the holidays. Why don't we see that all year through and in fact being kind is a problem today all by itself. Never mind predjudices and people getting along in life in our world. Too many people don't even bother with their own family. I get that sometimes but it's outrageous the number of people on the outs with someone in their family. And these days I'm talking about immediate family too. How is our world going to change for the better if we can't even get along with our own family. All we can do is try to do our part in helping our world become a better place for future generations.
