Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday tradition filled with family, friends, and food.

During the war years, everyone tried to save money and resources during Thanksgiving. Jack Benny scrimps to the point where he considers buying a canary instead of a Thanksgiving turkey. George Burns asks Gracie Allen to stop spending money on food and goods and start buying war bonds. Command Performance gives a rousing holiday presentation for the troops with Dinah Shore. After the War, you can bet Jack Benny keeps his penny pinching ways during the holidays.
