Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913

Holiday Wishes

I think that this memory might be area specific, but do you remember when the three meals of the day were breakfast, dinner and supper?

I have been made aware over the years that terminology can be very confusing.

It seems the more acceptable terms are breakfast, lunch and dinner. Wow, this can cause a lot of confusion, and I have tried just referring to meals as breakfast, the noon meal and the evening meal.

With Thanksgiving upon us, this crazy thought crossed my mind. Why do we refer to our Thanksgiving meal as DINNER? Almost everyone that I know has their holiday meal at noon or thereabout, so should we be updating ourselves and calling it Thanksgiving LUNCH? On the other hand, lunch may just refer to the size of the meal. I guess when things slow down, I will have to Google that and get some input on the whole scenario. Just a thought for you all.

Wishing you all a “Happy Thanksgiving” as well as safe travels for all of you that are driving to spend the holiday with family and friends.
