Do you say a prayer before feasting on your Thanksgiving dinner?

will you be giving thanks for y/a??? we don't usually do the prayer just the "giving thanks" part. I will give thanks for y/a. I figure if my kid can give thanks for his gameboy, i can give thanks for y/a! ;D

Yes. I say a prayer on every meal. Thanksgiving is very important.
I generally don't because it all depends upon your religion. I am not a christian, nor anything else. I am agnositc...So no, I don't say prayers. But I am thankful for what I have.

No, we dont' say a prayer.
Oh yes, we always do. That is unless my brothers stick their fingers into their food first with out anyone looking...
no i don't actually, but it's not like im not thankful, i just don't think about it very often.
I do but only for god for letting me leave another thanksgiving and eat another turkey
yes and no. there are times that every one haven't come in on time. so we do when the food is first set out. when the stragglers come in late we don't do it again.
yes and yes
some families do. Different religions believe in different customs. Most do because it is there way of blessing the food they eat. Hope this answers ur question!
Yes, my family always prays before a meal. No, I won't be giving thanks for yahoo answers even though I do enjoy it.
Yes
Yes!!! I Sure Do!!!!
absolutely,,,,,to give thanks
sometime
Yes, we say a prayer. We thank God for all the food, family, friends that are together for another year.
Kind of a prayer. I thank everyone for joining my family on this festive day. And I thank everyone for their contribution to the meal. And I thank those who prepared the meal (mainly my wife). And I wish everyone good fortune in the future. And then I ask everyone to spend a few minutes in silent "meditation" to thank others that I may have missed. And then we eat. My way does not offend those who do not share my religious and philosophical beliefs, nor does it embarrass those who want to pray in their own special way.
When you all are there, Sitting together with all your feet under one table, and "Praying." Don't forget to pray for all those who have "no table," to put their feet under. With the forclosures, floods, storms, and fires, and don't even have y/a, anymore.
on the holidays christmas, thanksgiving etc... we always say a prayer before we eat
I don't do prayer.
When I'm at my aunt and uncles and his side of the family is there his sister says grace.
