The term "getting a lucky break" originated from the wishbone ritual, referring to having received abundance or winning a prize.

Great photo, but I don’t think I want to return to those days. I hope everyone has a lucky Thanksgiving, with or without the help of a wishbone.

Ach! Unfortunately, everyone in my family now knows the secret of getting the bigger side, so it becomes a contest in patience, LOL. Even so, best wishes for everyone to have a lucky and Happy Thanksgiving!

My Grandmother had such a thing about wishbones that she saved them each year and ended up with enough “wishbone ornaments” to decorate a small tree – it was kind of icky, but at least now I know why!
